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.

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.

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

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.
