Deadpool 2 | Ratings & Reviews

"The original Deadpool was a bit of a miracle. It sounded terrible on paper but seemed to work in spite of itself, then went on to make a small fortune at the box office and convince industry pundits everywhere that superhero movies had to have swearing now."

Flicks, Tony StampFlicks

"The first Deadpool movie was something of a paradox: a breath of fresh air in the form of a fart in the audience’s face. The film and its lewd motormouth protagonist were irreverent with a capital “i”, keen to come across as outré and in-your-face. Rambunctious self-awareness was a key factor, loosening the structure of the stock-standard superhero story while simultaneously adhering to its formula."

Flicks, Luke BuckmasterFlicks

"In almost every respect, this sequel is an improvement on its 2016 predecessor: Sharper, grosser, more narratively coherent and funnier overall, with a few welcome new additions."

VarietyVariety

"Unfortunately, two movies in, the Deadpool franchise has not only already run out of jokes - it's become everything it was supposed to hate."

Vanity FairVanity Fair

"As with the original, Deadpool 2 thrives on tone over narrative."

Total FilmTotal Film

"It's a long movie and when its star isn't on screen and cracking wise, the boundary-pushing shocks and endless self-references wear thin."

Time OutTime Out

"What drives this franchise is the same force that drives so much culture and politics right now: the self-pity of a white man with a relentless need to be the centre of attention."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"Deadpool 2 ups the quota so that nearly every line of dialogue now includes something for us to laugh at. It starts to feel a bit strained after a while."

StuffStuff

"Despite a tendency toward elephantitis in story and scope, not to mention blatant franchise pandering, Deadpool 2 still plays like the runt of the comic-book litter. We mean that as a compliment."

Rolling StoneRolling Stone

"It's wildly irreverent, incredibly funny and gleefully embraces its over the top violence. Recommended, obviously."

New Zealand HeraldNew Zealand Herald

"If the first Deadpool entirely baked your meringue then Deadpool 2 is obviously exactly the same recipe served at perfect room temperature."

NewshubNewshub

"The film's impulse to profess a knowing, snarky superiority can become painfully awkward."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"With Reynolds' charismatic irreverence at its core, the pic moves from bloody mayhem to lewd comedy and back fluidly, occasionally even making room to go warm and mushy."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"...a joyous, violent, profane and occasionally quite sweet cinema experience worthy of the original."
