Once Upon a Deadpool

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Once Upon a Deadpool retains enough of the franchise's anarchic spirit to entertain, but doesn't add enough to Deadpool 2 to justify its own existence.

Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader The sequel zips along as the motormouth assassin tries to clean up his act (sort of). Feb 21, 2020 Full Review Claudia Puig FilmWeek (LAist) It's cute and funny. Sep 12, 2019 Full Review Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture It's a sick, dumb joke that you can't help but laugh at. And as soon as you do, you feel bad about falling for the gag. Dec 14, 2018 Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut Deadpool was so much dirty fun, now they took away some of the dirt. Rated: 2.5 Aug 17, 2022 Full Review Alex Bentley CultureMap Once Upon a Deadpool is not a wholly satisfying experience, but it adds a little more heart to a film that already had more than you'd expect. Apr 29, 2021 Full Review Matthew St. Clair Cinema Sentries An adequate gimmick that doesn't entirely pan out. Oct 2, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Star wars_Games L Für Leute die Gewalt nicht so gut abkönnen oder halt Kinder werden diesen Film richtig gut finden da er ein Deadpool für jüngere ist. Viele Kinder wollen Deadpool schauen und da haben sie die möglichkeit dazu! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/03/25 Full Review Audience Member Ok, this is actually Deadpool 2- but done much differently. It wouldn't have worked as a movie but as a free add on with the real deadpool 2= it's really good. There's more jokes in this one and it goes back and forth from him w/ Fred Savage and their repartee to scene's from the movie. It would be hard to follow and too much of a distraction to have this BE the movie, so it's a sequel within the sequel. It's a keeper- never get tired of Ryan Reynolds Schtick. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/25 Full Review Stephen C Funny in 1 hour and 58 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/28/25 Full Review Amir k I think the best season of this movie was the first season. I think it's better if they don't have a good idea and don't continue. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/03/25 Full Review Ana Cristina A Ficou muito engraçado essa versão Ligth(só para baixinhos, rs). Eu já sou fã desse falastrão e de um jeitinho bem Deadpool ele fez sua versão Disney! S2 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/25 Full Review Cantabria C Es entretenimiento, atajo de dizque críticos. Súper divertida si has visto la original y la AMARON por supuesto. Darle el toque DeadPool es cagad4 de la risa y no puede más que alegrarte el día. Si opinas menos es que voluntariamente te has metido una estaca en el cul0 para APARENTAR que sos culto y que PARA NADA te han criado personas que bailan #Reguetón.
