Deadpool Reviews and Ratings
-
Far more daring, outrageous, and smart, compared to all those typical ‘the-world-is-going-to-end’ comic book movies, Deadpool is the most fun I’ve had at the cinema in a long time. It’ll bring out the 15-year-old in you.
-
This is unmistakably a comic-book film, and some fun new X-Men show up, but you don’t need to know any more than the fact that this film really earns its exclamation marks.
-
The biggest achievement of Deadpool has to be the fact that it literally revives a genre that seems to be hitting saturation point. With Guardians of the Galaxy, this, and the upcoming Suicide Squad, we can be sure of one thing: No villain is going to beat this genre anytime soon. Like the comics on which these characters are based, the movies too will keep evolving.
-
The most interesting part of the film is Wade’s sense of humour, especially during the killings. The dialogues are hilarious but it doesn’t take you away from the intense moments of action. The music of the film is also perfectly in sync with the high-octane action sequence. It is one of the most well choreographed chase sequences you will see on a free way.
Deadpool is a film you wouldn’t want to miss.
-
Supported by a very clever script, Deadpool is deliciously irreverent, subversive and uproariously funny.
-
I’d recommend this movie to anyone, disclaimers notwithstanding (no kids, and maybe… girlfriends with a really formidable sense of humour?), as something that’s so entertaining you won’t just watch from start to end (the end credits are hilarious, too) but even sit back for the right-at-the-end credits (that Marvel is notorious for).
-
…is one part origin story, one part love story and whole lot of ass kicking action with brilliant, sharp, witty cuss filled humor of gore and theatricality with spot on yet subtle references to pop culture which is unmatched in this genre. A definite must watch for all superhero fans.
-
‘Deadpool’ has all the markings of a wannabe cool super-hero flick, and the genre staples are all too evident in the narrative spiel designed by helmer Tim Miller. So in terms of surprises, there are pitiably few but what really takes this routine experience to that of one that’s supremely entertaining is the strong dose of humour underlying every bit of action and drama in the plot.
-
Despite its flaws, Deadpool is by far one of the more enjoyable films released in recent time. Though the film doesn’t break new grounds when it comes to plot, it more than makes it up with its crazy narrative! Have no doubts – this SHOULD be your movie of the week i.e. if you don’t mind your superhero say the F word a lot, and kill without second thoughts!
-
Deadpool works for the same reason Comedy Central Roast does: it takes a dig at itself and heartily laughs at the cliches and idiosyncrasies associated with the genre.
-
The tone of the movie felt kind of confused — edgy but not pushing the envelope far enough, thanks to the censors who have chopped off the extreme language, violence and sex. The other worrying thing is if the edgy becomes mainstream then the electric underground runs the danger of turning vanilla.
-
Do not walk-in expecting a great superhero movie, because it’s not. It’s actually a great love story, I swear. A good, R-Rated love story of an anti-hero, something that attempts to move higher above Marvel’s regular clutter, and succeeds in doing so. It’s more in line with Honest Trailers, inverting the film’s strong points to ridicule it. As in one instance, Deadpool refers to its débutante director Tim Miller as “an overpaid idiot”, but if I was Marvel I’d give him some extra to make another NSFW one.
-
It’s gratuitously violent. It’s puerile, crass, meta and it goes to the ends of the earth to earn that R rating.
In short, it’s everything Deadpool should be.
