I pretty much concur.
I'll add the the first actions sequences have some fine moments, both cinematographically and choreographically. I loved the opening scene, the drone zoom in to the Rock entering Castel Sant'Angelo, which has a fine armory collection and looks nothing like depicted on the inside.
I really don't care for Deadpool's sense of humor. I get it but it's too cloying for me to be overly amused. And the Rock is exactly the same in every single thing he does. Glad that works for him. As a buddy frenemy flick, their coupling is serviceable. The overall pacing kept moving along like a decent pice of candy, changing flavor just about when the shallowness got to be too much with another action piece.
Gal was gorgeous like always and gobbled up every scene. Does she need to prove herself as an actress? Yeah, that'd be cool if she really has any dramatic chops. Can she just go on being the glamor queen that she is? I'd be okay with that too, but I do hope she will act someday.
Not horrible. Not great. Not overly memorable. But there are far worse ways to kill two hours on Netflix.
Not particularly D00M recommended unless you're a fan of any of the cast (I confess I'm smitten with Gal but I'm a hetero male and that's just the way it is). I predict the Yeti will give it a thumbs up because it's an entertaining distracting action flick.
