deadpoolHere are review links for this film submitted by our members:

  • José Arce @ LaButaca.net [Spanish]
    • Excerpt: Ryan Reynolds y su equipo cumplen y regalan a un palco adulto la película más personal e iconoclasta de Marvel. Violenta, cochina, inteligente, abre un mundo de posibilidades más allá del catálogo superheroico al uso. Bien, muy bien. A disfrutar.
  • Francisco Cangiano @ CineXpress [Spanish]
    • Excerpt: Primero que nada, gracias a Ryan Reynolds por haber peleado por una década y pico para lograr traernos este personaje a la pantalla grande como debe ser. Segundo, gracias a 20th Century Fox por haber tenido los globos de acero bien puestos en su sitio y haber permitido que este irreverente filme ahora exista en nuestras vidas. Deadpool, no tan sólo es el filme que el popular personaje merecía desde hace tiempo, sino que también es uno que logra romper nuevo terreno dentro de un género bastante conglomerado. Divertida, grosera y muy fiel, Deadpool es la película de cómics y/o superhéroes más cómica que jamas allá visto.
  • Robert Cashill @ Popdose.com
  • Bill Clark @ From The Balcony
    • Excerpt: Profane, hyper-violent, and never hesitant to take things a step or two beyond overkill, Deadpool is just the swift kick to the junk the genre needs.
  • Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
    • Excerpt: This R-rated, pop culture riffing, wisecracking subversive antihero is a hell of a lot of fun to hang out with, which is a good thing because the jokes fly so fast and furiously you’ll probably have to watch “Deadpool” multiple times to catch them all.
  • Blake Crane @ Film Pulse
    • Excerpt: The jarring introduction is good for a chuckle, but the R-rated, one-joke irony, all with the same tone, is annoyingly stretched throughout the entire film.
  • Matt Donato @ We Got This Covered
    • Excerpt: Deadpool is the ass-kicking, potty-mouthed savior that today’s increasingly familiar comic book movie landscape deserves.
  • Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
    • Excerpt: Beneath the layers of the façade, this really is just your normal, average superhero movie.
  • Kenji Fujishima @ Slant Magazine
  • Sarah Gopaul @ Digital Journal
    • Excerpt: ‘Deadpool’ doesn’t pull any punches, earning its R-rating with the most well-crafted coarse language, graphic violence, scenes of sexuality and nudity all c/o Ryan Reynolds.
  • Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
    • Excerpt: Scornful, satirical and surprisingly snarky – with two, teasing post-credit sequences.
  • Vadym Grygoriev @ kinoblog.com [Ukrainian]
  • Roderick Heath @ This Island Rod
    • Excerpt: The difficulty in critiquing a movie like Deadpool is precisely that it poses as an act of criticism itself, poking fun at its own clichés in a way that noticeably excuses it from actually being original or employing its clichés with true flare, something all too apparent by these closing moments.
  • Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
    • Excerpt: This isn’t truly subversive in a way that redefines the genre, but the picture maintains an environment that is consistently hilarious. Deadpool undermines the business of making superhero movies just enough to be interesting and worthwhile.
  • Courtney Howard @ Sassy Mama In LA
    • Excerpt: It’s a ballsy, bloody, and bold adrenaline rush.
  • MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
    • Excerpt: Callous, crass, unpleasantly smug. Supposes it’s being edgy because its protagonist swears a lot, but it’s like a child saying bad words just to be naughty.
  • Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
    • Excerpt: No other superhero movie would dare poke fun at itself so overtly and now that Deadpool opens up the genre for all to see, is there any going back? When the next Captain America and X-Men installments hit theaters later this year, will audiences fall back in line or will they imagine the insults Deadpool would hurl at them?
  • Ben Kendrick @ Screen Rant
    • Excerpt: Deadpool, much like its source material, is an irreverent, bloody, and riotous twist on the superhero genre – a must-see comic book movie experience.
  • Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
    • Excerpt: Rated R for a reason and definitely not for those who still play with action figures, “Deadpool” is unapologetic in everything it wants to do, whether it’s being profane and smart-assy or super-violent and very bloody.
  • Oktay Kozak @ The Oregon Herald
  • Kristin Dreyer Kramer @ NightsAndWeekends.com
  • Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight
  • Dan Lybarger @ www.arkansasonline.com
    • Excerpt: Deadpool rehashes just about every cliche from the Marvel Universe, but thankfully it does so proudly.
  • Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
    • Excerpt: Witty, profane, and full of action, Deadpool is a nice breath of fresh air in what’s been a stale early going for 2016, and bodes well for the future of the character.
  • Jared Mobarak @ BuffaloVibe
    • Excerpt: Wilson knows his world’s shortcomings and knows we do too. Rather than subvert, he actually exploits them for selfish gain and gleeful delight.
  • Darren Mooney @ the m0vie blog
    • Excerpt: Dead to rights…
  • Stefan Pape @ HeyUGuys
  • Jon Patridge @ Cinapse
  • Jason Pirodsky @ Expats.cz
    • Excerpt: It’s fast, loose, and (mostly) fun: Deadpool might be a total failure as a your typical superhero feature, but as a go-for-broke comedy this thing is a blast.
  • Kristy Puchko @ Pajiba, Comic Book Resources
    • Excerpt: It’s grotesquely violent, unrepentantly obscene, and slathered in a wise-ass attitude. So, “Deadpool” is fucking awesome.
  • Diego Salgado @ Guía del Ocio [Spanish]
  • Thomas Spurlin @ DVDTalk.com
  • Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
    • Excerpt: An exercise in following established formula while pretending to subvert it by slyly pointing out its absurdities and adding all sorts of nasty pop culture references and profane asides to the mix.
  • Andrew Wyatt @ St. Louis Magazine
    • Excerpt: Only about half of its gags stick, but Deadpool nonetheless endures through sheer waggish enthusiasm, spattering guts (and other substances) all over the dire, earnest tone that smothers many comic book adaptations.
  • Robert Yaniz Jr. @ Crooked Table
