Deadpool received generally positive reviews from both critics and audiences.

[148] Review
aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a rating of 84%, based on 264 reviews, with
an average rating of 6.9/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Fast, funny, and gleefully
profane, the fourth-wall-busting Deadpool subverts the superhero film formula with wildly
entertaining and decidedly non-family-friendly results."[149] Metacritic, another review
aggregator, assigned the film a weighted average score of 65 out of 100, based on 49 critics,
indicating "generally favorable reviews".[150] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an
average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale.[151] PostTrak demographic polling of North American
audiences showed that the film's audience was 64% male. 90% of men and 86% of women
polled gave the film a positive score.[152]
Peter Travers of Rolling Stone said the film is "party time for action junkies" and that Reynolds
may have found the role that defines his career.[153] In his review for TheWrap,Alonso
Duralde called Deadpool "a funny, bloody comedy [that] is the Marvel Universe's biggest breath
of fresh air since Guardians of the Galaxy", praising it, among other things, for its self-aware wit.
[154]

Christy Lemire also praised the film for being "beyond meta" and "up its ass and back out its

own mouth again".[155] Conversely, Richard Roeper of theChicago Sun-Times gave the film 2.5 out
4 stars, praising Reynolds' performance but saying the film gets bogged down by its origin story,
and all too often becomes like the films it spoofs.[156] Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles
Times found the movie lacking, noting that protagonist "is not an individual who wears
particularly well" and that the jokes "eventually get wearing, but Reynolds is quite good at
[them]". He also commended Baccarin on her performance but ultimately noted that the movie is
"rife with standard-issue elements."[157] In 2016, The Hollywood Reporter ranked the film 13th on
their "All 44 Marvel Movies Ranked Best to Worst" list.[158]

Sequel[edit]
In September 2015, Kinberg commented on the possibility of a sequel for Deadpool: "we were
talking about the sequel while we were making the movie just because when you make a film like
this that's from a serialized source material, you hope that it's the first of many". [162] Fox gave
the green-light to the film's sequel, with Reese and Wernick returning to write, and Miller being
looked at to return as director.[163] In April 2016, Fox confirmed the sequel's development, with
Miller, Reese, Wernick and Reynolds returning.[164] Kinberg and Miller have also talked about the
possibility of a crossover featuring Spider-Man.[165] Kinberg hopes the sequel will begin filming in
early 2017.[166]
