Snark conquers all in 'Deadpool 2,' a superhero sequel that's more of the same
It's not easy to capture lightning in a bottle twice, and it's even harder to push boundaries when you're playing it safe.
In "Deadpool 2," the manic antics fly fast, but the franchise loses its edge as wise-cracking antihero Deadpool goes dadcore, attempting to infuse standard-issue four-quadrant studio blockbuster beats into what was once a revolutionary R-rated premise.
Of course, superfans of the fourth wall-breaking Marvel Comics character will be delighted to see Ryan Reynolds' Merc with a Mouth back on the big screen, slicing up baddies and roasting everyone from his enemies (this time around it's futuristic soldier Cable) to his frenemies (Hugh Jackman's Wolverine)
