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.

Rated: 3/4

Keith & the Movies

“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.

Rated: 2.5/5

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

If you can stomach a handful of jokes that have gone stale since its 2016 release, there’s still plenty to love with this sardonic delight.

I will never understand the hype of the Deadpool franchise. I have watched the series repeatedly trying to figure out what I’m missing and do not see the appeal. I just feel disturbed and the jokes fall flat to me with an eye roll.
