Andy Walker (4885 KP) rated Deadpool 2 (2018) in Movies
Mar 25, 2019 (Updated Jul 26, 2020)
I really liked Deadpool, it was good to see an adult superhero movie and the humour was excellent. Unfortunately, for me, this just wasn't as good. It was similar to the first film in character and style, maybe that was the problem. It just seemed like more of the same but not as good, they seemed to me to be trying too hard to make it work on too many levels.

A fun movie
What happens when you mix the movie Big with a superhero movie......you get this fun movie.
I was surprised by it. I am not one for superhero movies and definitely not a fan of DC movies. This just not talks about how a new superhero has to learn about his powers but also how a 14yr boy has to deal with being an adult.

Young adult novel about a teen who moves to a small town in Washington and falls in love with a vampire... I enjoyed it (and this isn't my normal reading fare), but couldn't past the terrible writing, lack of character development, and clunky passages that just made me cringe. If it had been better developed and written, it would have been a total winner, because it still had me spellbound.

Love Instagram
As an adult over 40 and daily user of social media I find Instagram a way more interactive site than FB. I love FB but I find people seem to respond more to your posts than FB. Plus you now have Insta Story which is much easier than Snap Chat and you can add words, emojis and so much more to make it fun and interactive.

Great!
This one was on Netflix(not exclusive). An awesome crime thriller that is full of twists and turns in the story. Charlize Theron was (as always) amazing, as was the rest of the cast. The cinematography was great and the story unfolded with a slow churning intensity. Some mild violence, but otherwise nothing too bad for kids. However, I'd say it's more of an adult tale. Really worth a watch!

Fun for the family
Surprisingly well aged even if some of the green screen effects are a little noticable. Still slightly creepy and inspiring. Gmork's monologue near the end is even more terrifying as an adult. If you're in the mood for something fantastical and a trifle silly and family friendly (except for maybe the sphinx statues) this is a movie for you.

This film is definitely the best modern Christmas movies that's been released. It still holds up after 15 years (and now I feel old). I re-watched this with my parents, who, had surprisingly, never seen it before? I loved that the costumes from the original stop-motion Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer were used. It'd definitely innocent, family fun that's still enjoyable to watch as an adult.

Almost very good
Another young adult book by Matt Haig, The Dead Father's Club is a reimagining of Hamlet. Even with serious issues, Haig likes to keep tongue in cheek and fill his books with fun and here's another one. A boys dad died and joins The Dead Father's Club, should he listen to his dad and kill his uncle or does his dad's ghost even exist?

Feel good book
This book is such a feel good book and is probably very relatable for a lot of young people, it shows how its okay to be different and that just because you stand out from a crowd doesn't mean you can't do the things that everyone else is doing. Dumplin' is a well written, relaxing and easy read for any young adult
