The reviews for Marvel's latest and upcoming superhero film is here! Is the movie worth your time? Check out what critics are saying below.

"A really raunchy, very dirty and pretty funny goof on the entire superhero ethos, as well as the first Marvel film to irreverently trash the brand." The Hollywood Reporter.

Deadpool is neurotic and needy - and very entertaining. An innocent pleasure." - Guardian.

"It's a film that's amused with itself, but thanks to a screwball screenplay by Rhett Rheese and Paul Wernick and a charmingly snarky lead turn by Ryan Reynolds, that amusement is both thoroughly earned and completely contagious." - The Wrap.

"The whiplash contrasts between snideness and sincerity are deeply rooted in the main character's psychology." - Slant Magazine.

"A fun, if patchy, alternative to the glut of 'the world is about to end unless we do something' comic-book films." - Empire Magazine.

"This isn't the future of superhero movies, but it's an enjoyably obnoxious detour." - Daily Telegraph.

Ryan Reynolds gets the full-throttle wisecracking showcase he deserves in this scabrously funny origin story."- Variety

"A Marvel movie for those who think they're sick of Marvel movies but aren't really, it's as epically pleased with itself as Ryan Reynolds' lead performance."-Metro.

I found myself both enjoying the character and certain gags while wishing I could skip ahead 2-3 years to see the presumably superior sequel."- Forbes.
