It seems that many of the viewers have decided that the highly anticipated sequel is even better than the first movie.

One opinion ofDeadpool 2is that it’s much better than the first film. In fact, a few people have pointed out that the sequel actually improves on some points from the first movie. Plus, the overall consensus is that Ryan Reynolds is amazing as theMerc with a Mouth. Sean O’Connell had this to say.
“So, #DEADPOOL2 is the perfect sequel. Doubles down on everything that fans love about the original, and fixes some of that film’s issues. Huge, huge laughs that play the audience like a fiddle. @VancityReynolds destroys as Wade. Great action, fantastic comic nods. A killer ride!”
A lot of the praise forDeadpool 2comes from an angle of not really liking the first movie, which might not bode well for people who did enjoy the first movie. Matt Singer stated that he didn’t like Deadpool, but really enjoyed the sequel, saying that the sequel is “slow to start but all the stuff withX-Forceand Cable (and Peter!) works surprisingly well.” Many have been taking to social media to praise Josh Brolin’s performance as Cable, and there are a lot of secrets that cannot be printed yet.
