I watched Deadpool 2 the super duper cut and thought it was a really good film. The storytelling is there, the characters fresh and fleshed out and the humour spot on. The first act does meander a little but it really kicks up a gear once the gang is being put together. The action is exciting and inventive. Some of the cgi is still a little ropey here and there (why does it feel like we're going backwards with this) but crucially - and unlike the marvel movies - the choreography feels creative and purposeful.
I thought Domino was one of the best superheros to have appeared on screen, I loved the actor and the whole character design and she fits perfectly into this world as a meta-commentary on plotting and story predestination.
The jokes have a high hit rate and the characters have depth, allowing it to work both as a solid superhero movie and as a solid comedy spoof of the genre. Most importantly of all I got the feeling that the filmmakers actually cared about the film rather than acting like they were building a giant ugly slot machine that impotently flashes, bangs and bleeps; designed solely and soullessly to suck in as much money as possible. In other words it feels like a film apart from the Marvel and co superhero genre cesspit that is responsible for so much processed movie slop.
The slowish start aside I think it's even better than the first. Also I love that it's references tend to be slightly left field (Enya, Say Anything, Yentl, Frozen, Robocop, cool runnings), lazier writing could have easily turned it into some wanky aint I cool/smart/edgy Rick and Morty style shit.
