“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.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 24, 2024

Deadpool mostly works at what it is trying to do- be a sarcastic and violent parody of superhero movies up until that point.

| Jul 23, 2024

If you can stomach a handful of jokes that have gone stale since its 2016 release, there’s still plenty to love with this sardonic delight.

"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.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 7, 2024

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.

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 25, 2022

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

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 22, 2022

Packed to the brim with witty asides and pop culture references.

| Original Score: A- | Aug 10, 2021

Deadpool is a stylishly salty antidote to bloated recent superhero movies like last year's Avengers: Age Of Ultron.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 8, 2021

While there are still solid laughs to be found, it reneges on the promise of the early scenes. And when dealing with mercenaries, especially a merc with a mouth, you never renege on a promise.

It's occasionally a little too rude and crude, bloody and bowed for it's own good but at least it tries to do something a little different in the well-worn context of the superhero genre.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 3, 2021

It's easy to make a superhero film nowadays. However, a film is nothing without great writers that understand the character and an actor that is passionate about it. Ryan Reynold IS Deadpool.

| Jan 2, 2021

Goes to great lengths to distance itself from the pack of recent Marvel entities, which have become more or less interchangeable.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 4, 2020

The film plays well over multiple viewings and holds comedy to a higher standard than mere action and wise cracks.

| Nov 10, 2020

A terrific directing debut from Tim Miller that pretty much awards him a throne made of golden jockstraps on the wings of Stan Lee.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 5, 2020

Witty, profane, and full of action, Deadpool is a nice breath of fresh air.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 3, 2020

"Deadpool" is the fast-paced (gory), action-packed (violent) and hilarious (incredibly off-color) comic book movie that we needed, but had no idea we did until it came along.

| Jun 30, 2020

It bets on violent action and the most twisted dark humor that's been seen in any Marvel movie, of course, with Ryan Reynolds' wild role as Deadpool. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 26, 2020

There is no middle ground with this movie, for the middle ground has been thoroughly set on fire. Those who dislike it will absolutely loathe it. Those who like it will fight a duel to defend its honor. I thoroughly enjoyed it...

| Feb 13, 2020

It's competently made, and mostly fun.

| Jan 13, 2020

Coupled with the action-packed fight scenes, Deadpool proves he is here to entertain and he spectacularly does so, thanks to Reynolds' quick-witted performance.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 18, 2019
