Deadpool 2

Deadpool 2 is the Monty Python of superhero movies. Not the Monty Python's Flying Circus Monty Python, but the Monty Python and ... Monty Python.

It's archaic, it's crude, it's rude, it's an inheritor of the theatre of Grand Guignol, it borders on the surreal, and it's very funny.

It's also a film where the jokes work so much better if you're steeped in comic book lore, have seen every single X-Men film and are familiar with the complaints about superhero films from X-Men Origins: Wolverine to Justice League.

It's bigger, longer and more expensive than the first Deadpool film - and packed with more meta references and fourth-wall shattering. The film is worth watching for one action scene alone, largely thanks to new arrival Domino (Zazie Beets), who deserves a film of her own.

Hint to those who are going to watch it: there are mid-credit scenes that you'll want to stay around for, but there's no end credit scene - which disappointed a lot of people who'd hung around while the credits rolled.
