Critic Consensus
Critical reception for Deadpool 2 is largely positive, with most reviewers agreeing it matches or surpasses the first film in terms of entertainment value. Reynolds' performance and the film's blend of action, comedy, and unexpected emotional moments drew frequent praise, with Zazie Beetz's Domino also highlighted as a strong supporting presence. Common criticisms include a weak or familiar script, a sense of repetitive formula in the humor, and an occasionally confusing narrative, particularly in the opening sections.

"Deadpool 2 gets impressively emotional at the end, even when only pretending to be serious. The Domino sequences serve as a reminder that life is an elaborate Rube Goldberg machine, and there's only that much we can do with luck. As this film shows, Deadpool pushes it."Read full review ↗
"Be warned that like the first, this film is also ultra-violent with impalings and decapitations. If you like your cinema understated and refined, then this is not for you. But for the rest of us, there's enough to enjoy here."Read full review ↗
"Ably supported by Lady Luck Domino (Zazie Beetz), Reynolds does for you what the recent superhero orgy did with the help of infinite characters and infinity stones (pun intended). The actor-writer surpasses his own 2016 outing with this smashing sequel that has its heart and humour in the right place."Read full review ↗
"Ryan Reynolds' sequel is bigger, more violent, filthier and surprisingly, much better than the first film. It's a Marvel that they let him get away with this."Read full review ↗
"Deadpool started out as a passion project for Reynolds, but now that it has tasted box-office blood, he's on a course correction. Which means Green Lantern gets yet another jab in the jaw. The joke's a bit old now, but the Regenerating Degenerate is only getting started."Read full review ↗
"If you are a Deadpool fan, you won't let our review be the deciding factor. And if you are not, you should book your tickets ASAP. It's a must watch and you won't be disappointed. For Ryan's sake and a cameo that would stun you, the movie should be definitely on your bucket list this weekend."Read full review ↗
"Deadpool 2' delivers exactly what you would expect- comedy, action, and an overall good time. It ends up achieving the rare feat of improving upon the original, even if it's only a slight improvement. In the summer of big blockbuster entertainers, this Ryan Reynolds film keeps the ball rolling."Read full review ↗
"Deadpool 2 requires your full attention, from the beginning to the post-credits scene. Those scenes are packed with surprises and you'll be sorry if you walk out quickly. Go for Deadpool 2. You need this after Avengers Infinity War."Read full review ↗
"Deadpool 2 not only gets you nostalgic about the glorious past, it also has what it takes to keep you roaring with laughter all the way through."Read full review ↗
"Overall, despite a weak script, there is action aplenty throughout the film, but that doesn't bog down the viewing experience like many overcooked comic-book sequels. Also, the pendulum of the narrative swings from bloody mayhem to lewd comedy and back seamlessly and there are moments too where the film turns mushy. It is also advisable not to leave the theatre at the beginning of the final credits."Read full review ↗
"It is all too confusing in the beginning, and much too smart at times — again — for its own good. But as Ryan Reynolds gets other people to match his wits against, Deadpool 2 starts hitting the spots it wants too, much more effortlessly than its prequel."Read full review ↗
"Deadpool 2 comes as a sweet relief as it focuses on saving one child from himself with Deadpool's distinct 'merc with a mouth' manner. Grosser and more coherent with its plotline, the sequel of 2016 blockbuster hit is everything fans were expecting and more."Read full review ↗
"The plot doesn't actually reinvent the wheel and yet it dominates the screenplay. Reynolds' sequel — because let's be honest, it really is all his doing — is one of those incredibly fun and lewd gifts that keep on giving. And you certainly won't stop taking it all in; double entendres and all."Read full review ↗
"Deadpool is a trash talker, but the brash attitude and incessant chatter are the balm that Wade spreads over his pain. His jibber-jabber gets tiresome after a while, however, and irreverent, subversive and shocking humour is funny only upto a point. After which, the grand action scenes aside, it feels like a pattern: Offend. Kill. Make an inside Marvel joke. Repeat."Read full review ↗
