Morena Baccarin, Ed Skrein, T.J. Miller, and Gina Carano co-star. Directed by Tim Miller.
3 stars out of 4 -- "Armed with an unlimited arsenal of delicious snark, Reynolds has a blast playing Wade Wilson..."
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (02/11/2016) 4 stars out of 5 -- "Largely covered in either a mask or prosthetics, Reynolds is terrific, relishing the filthy, frantic nature of it all." Total Film - James Mottram (02/06/2016) "Deadpool is a perfect example of a character who doesn’t need world-threatening danger to foil." Empire - Empire Staff (02/07/2016) "Reynolds was born for the role: If a surprising number of the film’s fast-flying jokes actually land, it’s because the star knows just how to deliver them." A.V. Club - A.A. Dowd (02/08/2016) "DEADPOOL knows exactly how to use Reynolds, an actor whose smooth leading-man good looks have long disguised one of the sharpest funnyman sensibilities in the business..." Variety - Justin Chang (02/06/2016) "Crass, profane, and intermittently quite funny, the directorial debut of animator Tim Miller inaugurates a new genre hybrid: the super-bromedy." The Atlantic - Christopher Orr (02/12/2016) |
