The return of the wise cracking foul mouthed superhero mutant is surprisingly muted compared to his first big-screen appearance. There's fewer jokes all round and those that there are less riotous. I found myself smiling rather than laughing with this one. The jokes that broke the fourth wall were probably the most effective.Brolin and Beetz make for good additions to the cast - and complement Reynolds' strengths while their characters' provide some neat plot resolutions and hole filling. I hope we see more of them in future movies. The rest of the team remain underused - and I've got to the point of inwardly groaning when the simply dull Colossus appears on screen.
Verdict: Less funny, but more thoughtful second act.
