Cumbersome plotting aside, there’s enough gory mayhem and genuine zingers to make Deadpool & Wolverine a fun ride in a packed and up-for-it cinema.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 11, 2024

It’s amusing at times, especially for fans of the MCU as several Marvel superhero movie stars pop up in cameo roles...

| Aug 7, 2024

Some of the jokes land through sheer volume and force of will, but it feels like you have to endure 40-or-so rectal stabbings for a single juicy zinger.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 7, 2024

The tonal battle between the two characters is a walkover. Between the frenzied slapstick violence and battery of gags, two hours plus pass in a finger click.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 7, 2024

Avengers/X-Men fans who're looking for fun, keep your ears open. The real party is in the freaky chatter.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 2, 2024

Hall H: The Movie, offering up an onslaught of familiar (though largely forgotten) superhero faces intended to elicit knowing, nostalgic nods and applause.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 2, 2024

There are times when Deadpool & Wolverine seems to understand the futility of its own fixations. Yet the movie ultimately endorses Deadpool's left-field desire for conformity with tired, oft-stated MCU ideals.

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 2, 2024

I’m not entirely immune to the charms of this approach; there’s one casting choice, in particular, that made me smile, almost in spite of myself. It’s not enough to make the movie feel like less of a self-cannibalizing slog.

Dotted in among the quips and Easter eggs is the superhero equivalent of Toy Story 2, a mournful goodbye to the things we once held dear, even if some of those things weren’t that great to begin with.

A messy multiverse film overrun with guest appearances and Easter eggs.

| Jul 29, 2024

A film can be obnoxious and simultaneously very funny, and Deadpool & Wolverine is frequently hilarious. But it’s also slapdash, repetitive and shoddy looking, with an overreliance on meme-derived gags and achingly meta comic fan in-jokes.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 29, 2024

Rowdy, raunchy and gooey gory, Deadpool & Wolverine delivers the action-comedy thrills that will attract Marvel acolytes and civilians seeking belly laughs.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 26, 2024

Even draped in copious amounts of irony, the nonstop fan service grows wearisome.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 26, 2024

Though the MCU has never served up the cinematic equivalent of fine dining, its films at least used to be hearty fast-food fare. Deadpool & Wolverine feels more like eating a bag of Sour Patch Kids and calling it dinner.

| Jul 26, 2024

A celebration of trash: as in it revels in Deadpool's brand of trashy humour, but also celebrates the discarded superheroes who we can't help but get sentimental about, following the same easy route to our feelings that Spider-Man: No Way Home took.

| Jul 26, 2024

Is it a great movie? Nah. It's too slick a Marvel package, with surprisingly meh special effects and an energy that’s more desperation than inspiration. But stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are willing to bust a gut to make you laugh. So there’s that.

| Jul 26, 2024

While Ryan Reynolds still seems to be having fun playing the cheeky mercenary, both the inside-baseball comedy and the cartoonishly bloody mayhem wear out their welcomes in the film’s final third.

| Jul 26, 2024

Reynolds exhausted that creative well with the first two Deadpool entries and is only dredging up sloshy wet sand this time out.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 26, 2024

It’s over-the-top, overstuffed and light on emotional depth. But it’s also a hell of a fun time, especially if you appreciate Deadpool’s self-aware, meta humour. It’s often infantile but that doesn’t mean it’s not funny. You just have to go with it.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 26, 2024

Although it continues to rely on tired tropes and fan service-y storytelling beats, Deadpool & Wolverine remains a fun theatrical experience for the summer and one of the better releases from Marvel in recent years.
