Like the man himself, occasionally limp.

One of the greatest strengths of the Deadpool character is his own self awareness and during the two hours of Deadpool 2, you get the feeling that the studio and writers are now all too aware of the marketability and bankability of this franchise, relying on a rehash of the greatest hits of the first movie coupled with a larger CGI spectacle that ultimately, whilst still being a riot, is as superficial as the Plastics from Mean Girls.
Ryan Reynolds is still born to play the "merc with a mouth" and the supporting cast, particularly Julian Dennison and Zazie Beetz (great name), provide plenty of charm but for a movie that openly says it's about heart and family, it's strangely lacking either.
