Frankly, I was stunned that Leitch, Reynolds and company had the nerve to kill off such a bankable wiseacre in the first five minutes of their film, then devote the rest of their running time to supporting characters' attempts to grieve and move on with their lives, their struggles captured in bleached-out images more commonly associated with DC movies. This film from stuntman turned director David Leitch (who debuted behind the camera with ' John Wick') starts with a literal bang, with our mysteriously depressed hero immolating himself atop a deathbed of explosive fuel canisters, then works its way backwards to detail the trauma that made him sad enough to kill himself. The first ' Deadpool,' directed by Tim Miller, was distinguished by its three-jokes-a-minute pacing and its reluctance to take the usual superhero origin cliches seriously. Ryan Reynolds returns in the title role of Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool, in 'Deadpool 2,' a bleak and wrenching psychodrama that's sure to confuse and infuriate fans of the original.
