Critic Reviews
Deadpool (2016) Review: The Superhero Film That Talks Back
★★★★☆
Deadpool stars Ryan Reynolds as a scarred, wisecracking mercenary in an R-rated superhero comedy that mocks the genre while delivering a fast, violent origin story.
Yes, with reservations. It is a gleefully crude, genuinely funny antidote to solemn superhero films for adults, even if the story underneath is a standard revenge plot.
