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?

3/4

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

Miller’s movie doesn’t need to be a bonafide masterpiece to be a perfect movie in its own regard, and Deadpool certainly is that. Maximum effort!

“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.

All these characters (Deadpool, metal guy, strong girl, etc.) were created after my comic book days, so I'm not familiar with their back stories or abilities. I only know what I saw in this movie. The various mutants are introduced as having powers X, Y, and Z. For example, Angel Dust is super strong. I can roll with that. But, then she turns out to be pretty much invulnerable too. Maybe they might mention that? The main bad guy, Ajax, is introduced as having super reflexes and can't feel pain. But, as the fights develop we find out his reflexes aren't any better than Deadpool's. And, he's super strong. It's all a bit confusing. It's almost like they're making it up as they go. The non-linear structure and unnecessary vulgarity are also not good for me.

I loved this movie when I saw it in AMC theaters. Especially 4th wall breaks.
