Stephanie Blair | Copy Editor<\/span><\/p>\n Let me start by saying that I liked the last Deadpool film \u2014 I really did \u2014 but I felt immediately upon seeing it that it didn\u2019t have the potential to be a good series. I also knew that Marvel would make it one anyway and so, over two years later, here we are. I went into this film with low expectations and they were met exactly. <\/span><\/p>\n I could spend a lot of time complaining about how mediocre this film is, even though I can already feel my friends\u2019s angry tweets being typed out as I write this. So, instead of going on at length, I\u2019m going to quickly run through my biggest problems with the film and then we can move on to the enjoyable bits. Here we go.<\/span><\/p>\n The first 20 minutes or so of setup were insufferable. The title sequence was funny as I realized what they were referencing, but quickly became overdone. The plot, overall, was simple, dumb and was almost asking for a cop out ending \u2014 which it then gave. Any instance of visual humor, rather than a funny line, was ruined by characters in the scene heckling the moment. The biggest laughs in the showing I attended went to gags that were simply call backs to the biggest laughs of the first movie.<\/span><\/p>\n To be honest though, it\u2019s still fun. It\u2019s the same brand of humor, with slightly different twists. The new characters aren\u2019t very fleshed out, but I want them to be. The soundtrack is excellent, making it a tradition of the Deadpool films, now. Simply put, it\u2019s not as good as the first film \u2014 but if you liked the first one, you\u2019ll like the second.<\/span><\/p>\n There\u2019s nothing groundbreaking here, like there \u2014 arguably \u2014 was in the last film. There just isn’t. But if you like light body horror, penis jokes and \u201880s tunes, you\u2019re in for a good time.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Contact the author at journalcopy@wou.edu<\/span><\/p>\n Photo courtesy of:\u00a0www.foxmovies.com<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Stephanie Blair | Copy Editor Let me start by saying that I liked the last Deadpool film \u2014 I really did \u2014 but I felt immediately upon seeing it that it didn\u2019t have the potential to be a good series.
