There are long stretches of Deadpool 2 that are serious and unfunny.

Rating: 7/10 (14 February 2020)

Those moments are cool but there's more than enough cool in my superhero movies. Reynolds is brilliant, TJ Miller looks like he knows what's coming and Brolin is super ice cool. But the film can/should be cool and funny. And fridging the girlfriend and making Deadpool sensitive and depressed should have been a much more knowing move, instead it makes the film just like everything else.
However Deadpool's X-Force, the end credits and the X-Men bits make the movie. The action's tasty and it's not as plasticky and cheap as the first one. Probably get a damn good movie if you halve the first and second ones and then smash them together. The marketing was nice.
