Early Reviews Say ‘Deadpool 2’ Even Better Than Original, Has Killer Post-Credits Scene
“It earns the hell out of that R rating.”
It looks like Ryan Reynolds has made movie magic again playing his foulmouthed, murderous antihero in Deadpool 2.
Following its near-perfect test screenings, the first reactions to the much-anticipated sequel have been overwhelmingly positive. One reviewer boldly claimed that it’s better than Avengers: Infinity War, which recently set the record for the most profitable box office opening ever when it raked in a staggering $630 million.

Without revealing spoilers, others lauded its R-rated qualities and what is apparently a side-splitting post-credits scene.

Just saw #Deadpool2. Safe to say it features the best post credits scene EVER. I’m still recovering.

I didn't like the first Deadpool. DEADPOOL 2 beat me into submission until I was actually enjoying myself. Also it features my now favorite post credit scene.

I liked DEADPOOL 2 more than the first one (which I wasn’t a huge fan of). Slow to start but all the stuff with X-Force and Cable (and Peter!) works surprisingly well.

Of course, a couple of movie snobs tweeted scathing opinions, but these negative mini-reviews are few and far between.
I just saw Deadpool 2 and what a disappointment magic is gone, lame action, so so parody, no longer fresh, James Brolin as cable kind of wasted I would skip it. Best part is after credits scene. Set up for sequel #deadpool2 pic.twitter.com/bBH1xc7ceF

DEADPOOL 2: A 113-minute Honest Trailer that steals its best scene from MACGRUBER. Josh Brolin's third-best summer movie. Criminal misuse of Julian Dennison. Your ten-year-old son's new favourite movie. It will make $1-billion.

In conclusion, we should all probably get our asses to the nearest Deadpool 2 screening ASAP.
