Deadpool: reviews

What the critics say average 6.9 from 15

• 9.0 FotogramasMaría Caballero 'Deadpool' pretends to put an end (once for all) with the secrecy of the genres. (...) And pomposity in action scenes shouldn't overshadow the great satire made by Miller. Read
• 8.8 The WrapAlonso Duralde Thanks to a screwball screenplay by Rhett Rheese and Paul Wernick and a charmingly snarky lead turn by Ryan Reynolds, that amusement is both thoroughly earned and completely contagious. Read
• 8.0 The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthy It takes a little while to get in gear ? or perhaps just to adjust to what's going on here ? but once it does, 'Deadpool' drops trou to reveal itself as a really raunchy, very dirty and pretty funny goof on the entire superhero ethos, as well as the first Marvel film to irreverently trash the brand. Read
• 8.0 VarietyJustin Chang This cheerfully demented origin story is many, many cuts above 'Green Lantern', and as a sly demolition job on the superhero movie, it sure as hell beats 'Kick-Ass'. Read
• 8.0 The GuardianPeter Bradshaw 'Deadpool' is neurotic and needy -and very entertaining. An innocent pleasure. Read
• 7.5 Entertainment WeeklyChris Nashawaty It doesn't have the most adrenalized action sequences or the deepest origin story. What it has is the balls to mess with the formula and have some naughty hard-R fun. Read
• 7.0 CinemaníaManuel Piñón It's a stupid, obscene, cheap film and it seems written by a teenager. Then? Go to see it immediately. Read
• 7.0 El PaísJavier Ocaña They are aware of the factory of artifacts which has mounted Marvel, but they are still willing to laugh at themselves. And the best is that they do it with insolence and flair. Read
• 6.7 The A.V. ClubA.A. Dowd 'Deadpool' wastes no time at all establishing its crooked, reality-bending sense of humor. Read
• 6.5 Screen DailyTim Grierson 'Deadpool's' bratty energy feels liberating, allowing for a sexier, dirtier, more hilarious superhero movie than the typical all-ages Marvel affair. Read
• 6.0 The TelegraphRobbie Collin It's got gore, gratuitous nudity and superhero in-jokes galore. But Ryan Reynolds's winking, fourth-wall-smashing Marvel movie could have been so much more. Read
• 6.0 EmpireJonathan Pile The sheer number of dick jokes will soon numb you to their impact, but this is a fun, if patchy, alternative to the glut of 'the world is about to end unless we do something' comic-book films. Read
• 6.0 El MundoFrancisco Marinero Comedy or parody is based on a very agile dialogues with grace for all kinds of spectators and some intended particularly to genre fans. Read
• 5.0 The PlaylistKevin Jagernauth It's a film that desperately wants to upend the tropes of the comic book movie, (...) [Deadpool] is ultimately, a very by-the-book story. Read
• 4.0 Time OutTom Huddleston Bloody, shallow and oh-so-smug, 'Deadpool' is so eager to offend that it'd almost be sweet if it wasn't so, well, relentlessly annoying. Read
