Deadpool 2 (2018) N
I watched the superboring duper cut which was like an hour too long for the content.
For a film like this Deadpool 2 has far too many attempts for drama (which doesn't work in a film that doesn't take itself seriously) and too few jokes that actually work. As a character Deadpool feels like a daydream of a juvenile smartass who hates being told to behave and wishes he'd be strong enough to keep his mouth running. So in short the film is a (mostly bad) comedy with annoying protagonist that wastes too much time trying to be something else.
Action is mostly OK but there's very little unique in it. From action's point of view Domino is the most refreshing character (I'm pretty sure I've seen similar lucky person before but can't remember in which film) and her special ability is used pretty interestingly. There is way more graphic violence than in typical PG-13 Marvels but somehow it's disappointingly bloodless (even with severed limbs or people torn in two).
I guess it's a good thing that I'm not sure whether the film was making fun of political correctness or promoting it. Maybe that depends on the viewer (which would be kinda good thing). Despite of this it's way too long exercise in boredom that the few funny moments every now and then can't save.
