What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though it threatens to buckle under the weight of its meta gags, Deadpool 2 is a gory, gleeful lampoon of the superhero genre buoyed by Ryan Reynolds' undeniable charm.

Anupama Chopra Film Companion If you like your cinema understated and refined, then this is not for you. But for the rest of us, there's enough to enjoy here. Rated: 3/5 Aug 28, 2018 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review I don't think the second film is terrible, I did find it quite dull. Aug 28, 2018 Full Review Robert Daniels 812filmreviews You know when you first see a meme that's fresh, still funny? Now, think about when you see that same meme after 4 months worth of riffing....that's Deadpool 2. Rated: 2/4 Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies “Deadpool 2” caters to a big audience, most of whom have no problem gorging themselves on what amounts to cinematic junk food. But if you’re hungry for something with a slight bit of substance, you’ll want to look elsewhere. Rated: 2/5 Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net Practically nothing in the sequel works from the repetitive and belabored jokes, to the wooden acting especially from Julian Dennison, to the underwhelming story, it’s bad. I truly hated it. Jul 23, 2024 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson The flames are fattened, the bloodshed is bolstered, and the hail of hot lead is heightened as all of these wild elements compose a parade of profanity and dirty delights.

Big Red I can't wait for part 3! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/21/23 Full Review Peter Great movie, Can't wait until he joins the MCU! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/19/21 Full Review Aaron id watch renolds talk about pait dry. everything he touches is pure gold. the man deserves to do whatever he wants for as long as he chooses. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/18/21 Full Review Michael Mask Good. Just not as good as the first Deadpool..... ✌🏾✌🏾 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/10/21 Full Review The Real Mike L Deadpool 2 attempts to ride on the coattails of its predecessor but ultimately crashes under the weight of its own self-importance. It’s clear this sequel isn’t about expanding the world or the characters—it’s a Ryan Reynolds vanity project, plain and simple. The humor, which was sharp and refreshing in the first film, feels forced and repetitive here, as though Reynolds mistakenly believes that being sarcastic and obnoxious is enough to carry an entire movie. Spoiler: it’s not. One of the most glaring issues is the absence of the original creative team that made the first Deadpool a surprise hit. It’s well-documented how Reynolds wrestled control of the franchise from its original visionaries, and the difference is painfully obvious. Without their creative input, the sequel lacks focus, depth, and innovation. The charm and cleverness that once defined Deadpool have been replaced with cheap gags and uninspired writing. The result is a hollow, disjointed movie that feels like a pale imitation of its predecessor. Breaking the fourth wall was a fun novelty in the first film, but here it’s overused to the point of exhaustion. By the time Deadpool breaks the wall for the 300th time, the joke has long since worn thin. It’s not edgy or clever anymore; it’s just lazy writing disguised as self-awareness. Ultimately, Deadpool 2 serves as a glaring reminder of where the real talent behind the first film came from—and it wasn’t Ryan Reynolds. Stripped of that collaborative brilliance, what’s left is a shallow, self-serving sequel that’s more interested in glorifying its star than delivering a worthwhile story or genuine comedy. The charm of Deadpool has officially run dry, leaving us with nothing but a series of recycled jokes and an inflated ego pretending to be a movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/25 Full Review Samuel W Deadpool returns in a twist of fate as the love of his life tragically dies in an unexpected fashion. Trying to cope, he embarks on a weird, wacky adventure to save a life that he previously had no care about. This movie is, in some ways, better than the first, but falls short in other ways. The weakest part of this movie, in my opinion, is Deadpool himself. Not to say that Deadpool is a bad part of the film, but at times, he seems to be too depressed to have fun or too manic to even get the story going again. The balance that the first movie had seemed to fall short here, but it doesn’t compare to the level of fun and laughs you still have regardless of this small shortcoming.
