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.

So far, this is the best Deadpool movie released, that’s easily because of the balance between storytelling and humor it has, without goin for absurd sexual jokes all the time. Granted the cgi isn’t that great and we see more of Wade Wilson than Deadpool, this movie executes exactly what we thought we would never see from a super hero movie.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

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

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

Rob's Movie Vault

As for Reynolds, this is the role he was made for, and he tears into it as if to make up for the ridiculously terrible earlier version of Deadpool he played.

Rated: B+

Deep Focus Review

That Deadpool was ever made is something of a small miracle. That it's satisfying from a fan perspective is another miracle.
