What to Know

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.

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! Go to Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies 07/24/2024
2.5/5
“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. Go to Full Review Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net 07/23/2024
Deadpool mostly works at what it is trying to do- be a sarcastic and violent parody of superhero movies up until that point. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Nikos 06/16/2023 Great as can be and funny as well. See more Peter 11/19/2021 Freaking epic movie, you gotta see it for yourselves 😂 See more Dixie M. @DMDarne123 5h I watched this in theaters years ago and it was really good. 9/10 See more Muhammed U @RT91286855 3d Deadpool is one of the funniest and most entertaining superhero movies I’ve watched. Ryan Reynolds perfectly brings Wade Wilson to life with his sarcastic humor, nonstop jokes, and action-packed scenes. The movie breaks the fourth wall in a way that feels fresh and unique. While it’s violent and not for everyone, its clever storytelling and memorable characters make it a standout superhero film. ★★★★☆ (4/5) See more rtst B. @ARTISThaha 4d I mean, half of the movie was so boring, and I was so annoyed when it kept rewinding back in time. Like just show it in the actual time of event. See more Kristofer K @kbkaizer May 13 The superhero movie adults needed. All of the action and all of the vulgar, brought to life via the charisma of Ryan Reynolds. See more Read all reviews
