Wisecracking mercenary Deadpool meets Russell, an angry teenage mutant who lives at an orphanage. When Russell becomes the target of Cable -- a genetically enhanced soldier from the future -- Deadpool realizes that he'll need some help saving the boy from such a superior enemy. He soon joins forces with Bedlam, Shatterstar, Domino and other powerful mutants to protect young Russell from Cable and his advanced weaponry.

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.

The sequel zips along as the motormouth assassin tries to clean up his act (sort of).

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.

Deadpool was so much dirty fun, now they took away some of the dirt.

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.

An adequate gimmick that doesn't entirely pan out.

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.

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.

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.
