Deadpool 2 review


The merc with the mouth is back with his very own sequel that builds on the previous movie while at the same time never forgetting what made the first one so great. The story this time around follows Deadpool as he brings together a team of fellow mutant rogues to protect a young boy of supernatural abilities from the brutal time travelling mutant / mercenary Cable. That's the pretty much the story in a nutshell but we aren't here for the story are we? Deadpool 2 is a whole lot more adventurous than the first one and right of the bat it shows as the opening is equal parts hilarious and emotional. Complete with a James Bond style intro it really sets the tone for the rest of the movie brilliantly.

What made the first Deadpool movie so great was Ryan Reynolds and he is as brilliant as he was back then but here he is bolstered by some really fun performances which help to make this sequel feel more complete and rounded than it's predecessor. You got Josh Brolin who is both unrelenting and coy as Cable and a newcomer Zazie Beetz who plays Domino. Deadpool's very own lucky charm as he himself puts it. With cameos from some surprising characters from X-Men lore and a few other surprises this is easily one of the best movies you'll see all summer long. And as Deadpool himself puts it during the opening this movie is a family movie but it's unlike any family move you'll EVER see. Which he is completely right about it as the characters do become a family. A completely bonkers family but a family nevertheless.
Onto the pacing and with the movie being just shy of 2 hours long it doesn't feel like it at all as the pace is like
 Cable unrelenting as it moves from set piece to set piece and while some jokes don't exactly hit their intended target that doesn't take anything away from the overall vibe that Deadpool 2 has going for it. As I said Ryan Reynolds really is the highlight here and as of now he really is Deadpool and nobody will ever be able to take that away from him. With some fast paced action hilarious scenes and a sense of tenderness about it (at times) Deadpool 2 is the most fun I've had in a cinema in long long time and that equals a must see movie. Fingers crossed for Deadpool 3!

Fighting with my Family review

Image
The Knight Family are a unique bunch to say the least. Not only do all the children wrestle but so do the mother and father. And out of that we got Paige. Florence Pugh stars as Saraya Knight a young girl from Norwich England. Her brother Zak Knight played by Jack Lowden has one dream. Of making it to the WWE and he will do anything to make it all possible. At it's core Fighting With My Family is exactly what the title says. A family who fight as we're shown the entire Knight family wrestling in small venues in Norwich. Ricky Knight who is the father wants so much for his kids to succeed and after sending tapes to WWE for them to review and possibly accept both Saraya and Zak for a tryout the family gets it's wish as WWE visits the UK for it's European tour. This is when we meet Vince Vaughn's character who is the guy in charge of recruiting talent and pushing them to see how far they can go and how much they have in them to make it to the top.

Superman & Lois 3x13 : What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Season 3 of Superman and Lois has come to and end in the most devastatingly epic way. The finale opens up with Sam Lane telling Lois and Clark that Lex Luthor is nowhere to be found. Clark adds more to this by saying he can't hear him either but Lois is not convinced after all Lex did literally threaten her at the end of last weeks episode. A meteor shower is planned for the evening right at the center of Smallville town so you just know something is going to go down then and as expected something major does go down but more on that a bit later. As the boys leave the house Lois tells Clark that she is ready to be intimate again and the two fly off to a private secluded area where they can be together for the first time since Lois had her breasts removed due to her cancer. It's a tender moment and one that does feel very important fo...
