Critics Consensus

Fast, funny, and gleefully profane, the fourth-wall-busting Deadpool subverts superhero film formula with wildly entertaining -- and decidedly non-family-friendly -- results.

Deadpool tries so hard and is so trying.

Who needs a hero when you can have an entertaining antihero?

This is a fun, hyper-violent, gleefully perverse frolic into the super-powered absurd.

“Deadpool” is essentially an origin story and not a particularly original one. But its hope is that you’ll be so involved in the comic mayhem that you won’t care.

Deadpool mostly works at what it is trying to do- be a sarcastic and violent parody of superhero movies up until that point.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

"Deadpool" is the most red-faced and side-splitting movie of the comic genre to date. It makes "Guardians of the Galaxy" look like C-SPAN when it comes to non-stop action and humor.

Rated: 5/5

Deadpool is one of the first R-rated action comedy movies of its kind and it that sense it is unique. The dialogues felt forced and out of place at first, but I got used to it pretty quickly. Some of the real life references are pretty wild. The villains are competent and pretty well-written. Deadpool is a cool character who is in some ways relatable, but he is also weird, which makes him funnier. The humour is unique and good. The direction is great with a consistent, dark-comedic tone. The cinematography is pretty mid with some well-lit scenes, but other than that it doesn't offer too much. Although the editing is fantastic. The way they cut between the car-shootout sequence and the events leading to that reminds the audience there are actually two timelines. The soundtrack is awesome and the cast is great. The performances are good, Ryan Reynolds surprised me with his range. The visual effects rely on CGI, but the slow motion stuff and the grounded, nasty action looks great. Unlike the wide shots like the very last shot of the film. Deadpool is great and unique, although I do think it's overhyped.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Absolutely phenomenal. Ryan Reynolds is perfect for this role and he keeps things true to the comics.
