Managed to get through a few lately.
Venom 7/10 - Nothing original here but it makes up for it with sheer fun. Effects are good, tone hovers nicely without getting too dark, and Hardy nails it with his pure energy, thankfully managing an accent without sounding like a marble mouth. One of those movies to switch on with the brain off.
Deadpool 2 7.5/10 - The novelty isn't the same, but a couple of unexpected turns and Reynold's shtick carries it along without fuss. Once again they throw the sink at it, there's plenty of laughs and OTT violence, and enough of it sticks. It's the plot that surprisingly thin, and even Deadpool himself pokes at it, which strangely makes it a deliberate meta choice. Brolin isn't given much to work and relies on his screen presence, however some hilarious cameos and supporting characters to look out for. Enough fuel this time, but on the verge of milking.
Once Upon a Deadpool 7/10 - A strange but worthwhile PG-13 cut featuring Deadpool himself telling his own story Fred Savage in his Princess Bride getup. It's as bizarre as it sounds, and the interplay between the two is hilarious, but there's nothing else as the bloodless, profaneless DP2 plays out.
