Action. Fantasy. Comedy Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, "Deadpool" tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

	Media	Author	Review
		Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"'Deadpool' drops trou to reveal itself as a really raunchy, very dirty and pretty funny goof on the entire superhero ethos, as well as the first Marvel film to irreverently trash the brand."
		Justin Chang Variety	"This cheerfully demented origin story is many, many cuts above 'Green Lantern', and as a sly demolition job on the superhero movie, it sure as hell beats 'Kick-Ass'."
		Robbie Collin Telegraph	"It's got gore, gratuitous nudity and superhero in-jokes galore. But Ryan Reynolds's winking, fourth-wall-smashing Marvel movie could have been so much more. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"
		Tim Grierson Screendaily	"'Deadpool’s' bratty energy feels liberating, allowing for a sexier, dirtier, more hilarious superhero movie than the typical all-ages Marvel affair."
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"This movie's junky feel is part of its charm. Sure it goes on too long and repetition dulls its initial cleverness. Still, Deadpool is party time for action junkies and Reynolds may just have found the role that makes his career (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"
		Tom Huddleston Time Out	"Bloody, shallow and oh-so-smug, ‘Deadpool’ is so eager to offend that it’d almost be sweet if it wasn’t so, well, relentlessly annoying (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"
		Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"It doesn’t have the most adrenalized action sequences or the deepest origin story. What it has is the balls to mess with the formula and have some naughty (...) fun."
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Ryan Reynolds' pansexual superhero is needy, neurotic and very entertaining (...) [An] horribly violent, shriekingly self-aware and macabre Marvel super-antihero movie (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"
		Kevin Jagernauth The Playlist	"It’s a film that desperately wants to upend the tropes of the comic book movie, (...) [Deadpool] is ultimately, a very by-the-book story."
		Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"It's a film that's amused with itself, but thanks to a screwball screenplay by Rhett Rheese and Paul Wernick and a charmingly snarky lead turn by Ryan Reynolds, that amusement is both thoroughly earned and completely contagious."
