“Deadpool 2” (*** out of four) was a fun sequel to the 2016 smash about the continuing adventures of Wade Wilson aka Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) who has now become a worldwide mercenary for hire who brings together a team of rogue fellow mutants to protect a precocious young boy (Julian Dennison) with supernatural abilities when he is threatened by the time-travelling mutant Cable (Josh Brolin) who in turn also threatens world destruction. Hits a few lulls here and there in the middle but has enough dazzling effects, whiplashing action scenes, and Reynold’s wisecracks to make this equal to, if not better than, the original. Love those musical interludes and soundtrack selections! As usual, this features plenty of Marvel supporting characters and actors (Brad Pitt, James McAvoy, Hugh Jackman) as a bonus.
