The music is haunting and rousing and most of the direction is very assured and sharp, and more in control of the tonal balances. Slick, stylish and brooding with generally typically well crafted effects. However, 'Deadpool 2' is very well made visually. Also personally found Julian Dennison on the annoying side and parts of the story are disjointed. There are instances where the special effects are rather ropy and artificial-looking. It's also a very good film and count me in as another person who found it an even better film than its predecessor (not many superior sequels out there), being funnier and more ambitious with a much better and memorable villain. Like 'Deadpool', 'Deadpool 2' was very entertaining, and again credit is due for trying to take more of a comedic edge to a genre that can be taken seriously (sometimes overly so) and for taking risks. Being someone who really enjoyed 'Deadpool', though not completely loving it, expectations were high for the sequel and they were met.
Like Marvel films better than some do, have never been and never will be part of this ridiculous MCU vs DCU war, and the positive critical reception drew me in to seeing 'Deadpool 2'.
