 Vito is not good, Michael is not bad. They are both, in their way, cruel, evil, bloodthirsty, and in their way, good, loving, affectionate.

 "I still vividly remember their 2006 concert... thousands of voices around me singing in unison."

 "They didn’t ruin the adolescent memory I have of them because the songs are and remain very beautiful... but they didn’t make me want to start listening to them again either."

 A piece of remarkable, rare ugliness.

 The division between money-driven villains and hero dispensers of civilization is so manichean and Disney-like (in the worst sense of the word) that at some point you expect a line like this directed at the child in turn: “Don’t be afraid, we are the good guys.”

 This is a gravestone on Italy, on the society, and on the culture of the country from post-war to today.

 A profusion of jokes, vulgarities, insults to other films, and metacinematic slits that can’t help but entice the audience.

 Deadpool 2 is much more solid than many other superhero films, even in the canonical aspects, but with the not insignificant bonus of being able to exploit - properly - the entire irreverent arsenal that belongs to this saga.
