    So much going on and it hits a lot of it out of the park, but the ending is not quite there.

    What America means, what art means and who owns it, imperfect but essential relationships

    ★½

    Has some interesting themes and the cinematography of the real world is good, but overall the relationships and the film are underdeveloped

    ★★★

    Mostly fun watch, the jokes are good. They do a decent job making fun of the MCU and it's current predicament, yet they don't quite get their own jokes. The plot inevitably falls into the MCU recipe™ complete with a CGI-fest finale against a villain stripped of complexity. And despite Deadpool's quips about his own moral ambiguity and the flops of the multiversal MCU, the film seems determined to tie a pristine bow around the titular package of characters and ship them off as yet another pair of world-saving goody-four-shoes to whichever MCU timeline wants them.
