Picks up right were the first left off, Wade is Deadpool is a smart-ass, carefree, independent superhero who only really wants what HE wants. He is connected to his girl, but not to any greater cause or life purpose. Reynolds continues to play this role with great success and inhabits the character fully. The self-mocking humor is pervasive, and all the action/language is appropriate to the character/story and not just gratuitous. In this sequel, the main plotline follows Wade as he is moved by events from carefree to responsible. I guess it is the maturation of a teen superhero. But this film is also a victim of the extravagent-is-normal disease affecting movies these days, so even though it does everything right, it is still just alright.
3 stars (out of 5)
