Did you like Deadpool? Then you'll like Deadpool 2.

You can stop reading now, if you want.

You want more? Fine. Look, it's not as good as the first, simply because the first was such a groundbreaking moment in adult-oriented superhero movies -- you can't just recapture the magic, man. But it's still got the same kind of offbeat, profane, fourth-wall-breaking humor and hyper-violent action that made the first one so much fun. It's just, y'know, more of it.

And it pales in some ways because, well, this one doesn't take as much time to develop its characters, because for the most part you already know them. It is largely a two-hour-long action sequence with Ryan Reynolds, in the Deadpool suit, making constant wisecracks.

And that's a lot of fun, if you like that sort of thing.

Besides Reynolds as Deadpool/Wade Wilson, you've got the time-traveling Cable (Josh Brolin) and lucky hero Domino (Zazie Beetz) forming the nucleus of the formative X-Force team. Julian Dennison is Firefist, the angry mutant teen they must stop or sway. And you have returning characters Vanessa (Morena Baccarin), Wade's girlfriend; Weasel (T.J. Miller), Deadpool's manager; Dopinder (Karan Soni), Deadpool's taxi driver; and Big Al (Leslie Uggams), Deadpool's sometimes roommate. You've also got a couple of second-string X-Men: Colossus (voiced by Stefan Kapicic), Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand) and Yukio (Shioli Kutsuna). And a handful of other C-list superheroes you probably don't need to know.

Bottom line, if you liked Deadpool, why are you even waiting before seeing this one?

By the way ... does the mid-credits scene really undo the big dramatic development from early in the film -- or is that just for laughs? You'll know the one I mean.
