5. Deadpool 2

RottenTomatoes Score: 83% (7.0/10)

Box Office: The $110 million R-rated superhero sequel was never going to match its predecessor's shock success ($783.1 million worldwide), but it's nevertheless effortlessly made five-fold its budget to date (and certainly isn't done yet).

Considering it released in-between Avengers: Infinity War and Solo, that's a pretty damn respectable result.

Verdict: While the humour perhaps doesn't feel quite as fresh as the original and the film's treatment of its female characters is certainly disappointing, Deadpool 2 is largely an extremely consistent sequel, serving up riveting action, a vastly improved ensemble cast and the lewd, outrageous humour fans expect.

Plus, those mid-credits scenes are surely some of the greatest ever, right?
