Man, yet another movie I fucking loved so close to Infinity War.
I agree that it is hard to say if it is better than the first one or not, because if the first movie didn't exist, ignoring the lack of backstory that would cause, this movie would be just as much of a breath of fresh air/slap in the face as the first one. I don't know if it will do the same numbers as the first simply due to all the competition during the summer (the second showing I was at was only half full), but it deserves to.
I loved pretty much everything about this one too. The only thing I would really complain about is that there was way too little of some of the characters. I'm not talking about X-Force, they were perfect for what was intended. I'm talking about Vanessa, Negasonic, and Colossus mainly. And newcomer Yukio. I truly, truly hope she gets put into any X-Force movie that gets made, along with Negasonic. I already had a thing for Negasonic (who got way hotter), now Yukio is fucking adorable. And...now I'm imagining the two of them scissoring. I'll be in my bunk.
Domino was fucking amazing, I have to say, and I had my doubts going in. Cable, of course, was great too. Brolin was the perfect casting, although if you close your eyes, with the things he says at times, you'd be hard-pressed to guess if it was Cable or Thanos he was speaking as. Very similar acting and outlook on things, in a broad sense at least.
End credits scenes were awesome. However, as someone else said, once the obvious ones are done, there is nothing more. No need to sit there for another 5+ minutes. You'll know when they are over, trust me.
I gave Infinity War a 9.5 just because it wasn't *completely* perfect. I probably gave the original Deadpool about a 9 I'd say. This one was easily a 9 as well, maybe even a smidgen higher. I can't really decide which I like better, but maybe after I watch this one half a dozen more times I'll be able to figure it out.
<----- Hi Yukio!
