It’s impossible to envision a sequel with pleasure – this kind of lightning wouldn’t strike twice – but the first one could hardly be improved.

Deadpool is neurotic and needy – and very entertaining. An innocent pleasure.

Very fun movie, full of jokes and violence. Deadpool is in his element, while more tragic events also occur. Its story is pretty good, it is a great mixture of silly violence with seriousness. It's very memorable, and depicts the character perfectly.

Deadpool. Now in a suit. "Deadpool" is an explosive superhero film that turns the genre on its head. Director Tim Miller creates a unique experience by combining irreverent humor and violence with a gripping story. Ryan Reynolds gives a brilliant performance as the antihero Wade Wilson, who transforms into Deadpool, using sarcasm and jokes to cope with a harsh reality. The film skillfully breaks the fourth wall, allowing the character to communicate with the audience. Intense action and a striking visual aesthetic make "Deadpool" truly unique. It is not just entertainment - it is a bold reimagining of the comics that is joyful and inspiring.

Deadpool is, on the whole, a big bowl of fun filled with great stunts, gory fight scenes, and sexy poses.

It’s no surprise that the teams hired to bring a property like Deadpool to the screen know how to keep the machine oiled and humming; it’s the ones who somehow manage to temporarily stick a wrench in the works, adding something human — a feeling instead of another quip — who are worth your attention.

The whiplash contrasts between snideness and sincerity is deeply rooted in the main character's psychology.

Deadpool, intended as a spiky antidote to superhero oversaturation, ends up impaling only itself.

The Film Stage
For an 11-year-old sneaking into the theater for his first R-rated movie, Deadpool could prove to be a revelatory trip. For myself, it was an exhausting, grating experience, lacking in wit and cleverness as it crumbles underneath its wall-to-wall torrent of jokes. If this represents a new stage for comic-book adaptations, the future is even more dismal than one could have imagined.

The first Deadpool movie with Ryan Reynolds is a decent movie, it has some scenes that feel forced, for example the adult scenes felt forced. The humor, the story, the 4th wall breaks were all good. Its bad because it got categorized into a valentines day movie. So you cant really watch it anytime.

Alternative film for its genre that focuses a lot on irony and fun but confirming a classic plot for superhero films. Well done film

This movie fails at being a satire; it has a cliché superhero movie plot, it's not funny, and it's devoid of wit. The characters are all flat. They all have the same bantery-sassy guy/gal attitude, but without any characters to contrast them, it's just a boring mess. It's even worse when you take into account that the jokes are lame.

I can't stand this movie and everyone else seems to love. I don't like sexual content, too many gross-out violent humor and the character Deadpool himself is just talking way too much and he was annoying and talks annoying which he didn't even take things seriously. This movie is a bad one, a bad one for superheroes and I can't stand that many things that are that good. The Music is too forgettable for me.
