David Leitch's Deadpool 2 is an intermittently successful regurgitation of the first film. Leitch's direction lacks the brio of Tim Miller's work and the CGI action seems overly protracted. Still, Josh Brolin and Zazie Beetz are welcome additions and the sardonic quips keep coming. This franchise has a consistently meta approach to its outlandish narrative and its lack of self mythologizing puffery is welcome in this genre. Too stupid and haphazard to recommend, Deadpool 2 is, at least, mindful of its own mindlessness.
