Plot Summary

After surviving a near-fatal bovine attack, a disfigured cafeteria chef (Wade Wilson) struggles to fulfill his dream of becoming Mayberry's hottest bartender while also learning to cope with his newfound sense of smell. As he learns to navigate the world as Deadpool, he joins forces with a team of mutants called X-Force to protect a young, superpowered boy from the formidable Cable.

Not as good as the first. Still good though. Also my favorite x-men of all time juggernaut is in this.

**Deadpool 2 adds awesome new characters and tones down the extreme crudeness to make a sequel that is more enjoyable than the original.** I’m not much of a Deadpool fan. The humor was much too crude and nonsensical for me to enjoy the f...
