I legitimately enjoyed Deadpool, more
than I expected to. I wasn’t sure how it would translate, if they would go all
in on the filth and violence, but they did. And the result is a fun,
foul-mouthed superhero joint. Even so, I haven’t been able to work up one iota
of enthusiasm for Deadpool 2. And I should. David Leitch
directed John Wick, the best modern action movie, and
Atomic Blonde, which is solid. It has Josh Brolin, who I’ve
loved since Thrashin’; Zazie Beetz, who rules; Terry Crews; and
the kid from Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Regardless of how I
feel, the Merc with the Mouth is coming back, and there’s a new trailer, and it
does little to get my juices flowing.
