Once Upon a Deadpool retains enough of the franchise's anarchic spirit to entertain, but doesn't add enough to Deadpool 2 to justify its own existence.

It's a sick, dumb joke that you can't help but laugh at. And as soon as you do, you feel bad about falling for the gag. Dec 14, 2018 | Full Review…

A conceit that could have been charming instead comes across as crass. Dec 14, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

The reconstructed storyline drags and its progression isn't helped by the frequent interruptions. Dec 12, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

OK, maybe they cut a couple seconds out of that scene where Deadpool gets ripped in half, but the movie's sardonically gruesome sensibility remains intact. Dec 12, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

It's a clever cash snatch... and actually makes for a mildly funnier film. Dec 12, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

It turns out that even without all the naughty bits, "Deadpool" still works pretty darn well. Dec 12, 2018 | Full Review…

It's got a ton of pop culture references, easter eggs, and cameos that will continue to keep you entertained for the entire movie. I think because of that great mix, both comic book fans and even casual moviegoers will appreciate this film. Jan 29, 2019 | Full Review…

felt like a waste of time and didn't have the humor payoff to make it work. I was just thoroughly underwhelmed by this PG-13 Deadpool 2 Jan 23, 2019 | Rating: 3/10 | Full Review…

Is it a good movie? Yes, only if you liked the original. It still maintains Reynold's adult comic style, which was off-putting to some, but with a PG-13 filter. Jan 7, 2019 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…

It's still Deadpool, it's still funny, it's still good enough, but it's not different enough to be worth it. As a novelty, it's notable enough, and the additional footage with Fred Savage is funny. I do like how Savage even comments on some of the criticisms of the movie, like the fridging of Vanessa or Cable's lack of complexity compared to the comics. However I'm not really sure who this movie's supposed to be for. It comments on the original take on Deadpool 2 in some funny ways, but it doesn't have the bite of Deadpool 2 which makes it a charming novelty but ultimately pointless. It could be for families I guess, but then they're going to miss the references to the original version, and then it takes away some of the elements of the original that it doesn't need to. There are some great scenes that get shortened or cut out entirely that didn't need to. Sometimes there's a dramatic moment that's undercut by an insert from Fred Savage, which is funny if you've seen the original, but kind of ruins the moment. This is really a weird idea overall. I mean, it's still Deadpool, there's stuff in it that still works because the original worked, but ultimately this take on it is kind of a failed experiment.
