Synopsis

Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

Reception

Critics: 85%
Audience: 90%

Critics had fun with the crude, self-aware comedy and Ryan Reynolds' all-in performance, treating it as a shake-up for superhero movies. The usual reservation was that, jokes aside, the story is a familiar origin tale.
