What to Know

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.

Nigel Andrews Financial Times Deadpool tries so hard and is so trying. Rated: 2/5 Dec 27, 2016 Full Review Dwight Brown National Newspaper Publishers Association Who needs a hero when you can have an entertaining antihero? Nov 8, 2016 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com This is a fun, hyper-violent, gleefully perverse frolic into the super-powered absurd. Rated: 3/4 Aug 15, 2016 Full Review Keith Garlington 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 Jul 24, 2024 Full Review Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net Deadpool mostly works at what it is trying to do- be a sarcastic and violent parody of superhero movies up until that point. Jul 23, 2024 Full Review Don Shanahan 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 Apr 7, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Nikos Great as can be and funny as well. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/16/23 Full Review Peter Freaking epic movie, you gotta see it for yourselves 😂 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/19/21 Full Review Judah L One of my all time favorite action comedy's. If you are into gore, comedy, or superhero's, you will love this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/26/25 Full Review Garrett B It was hard to get used to profanity and gore, but it was fun. Rewatch ability pretty high; more than most superhero movies. Dialogue was cringe, but I've learned to lower my standards for jokes and appreciate the effort. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/22/25 Full Review Comedy F Deadpool is the best Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/22/25 Full Review Peter C. Amazing movie. Don’t watch it with kids.
