Not as good as I'd hoped

Film of Choice at The Plaza Dorchester Tonight - Deadpool 2. Irreverent from the outset, and the same huge bundle of gag filled scenes complete with the bad jokes, bad references and bad taste we come to expect from Ryan Reynolds and co. Unfortunately it didn't rise to the promise of an excellent sequel and all the best bits were either in the trailers or the opening sequences. Don't get me wrong, it is a film worth watching, just not the belly full of laughs I was expecting. The storyline was okay if a little mundane, the effects were pretty good though, especially the scenes in slow motion. I do kind of adore the character of Deadpool and the opening sequences up to and including the humorous opening credits which did make me giggle. Don't know if it merits a third outing though.
