Watch the Trailer of ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Below:

IGN: “Deadpool & Wolverine is an outrageous, consistently funny superhero comedy that succeeds largely thanks to the contagious enthusiasm of leads Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, and a surprisingly classy perspective on superhero movie history.”

Slash Film: “The brightest spot in "Deadpool & Wolverine" is, without question, Jackman. While the movie never does a good job of bringing Deadpool and Wolverine together as characters, Jackman and Reynolds play off each other well. Jackman also brings a dramatic weight that the movie badly needs.”

Variety: “What makes Deadpool special, apart from lead actor (and co-writer) Ryan Reynolds’ sarcastic R-rated sensibility, is the way he breaks the fourth wall, offering unfiltered commentary on just about everything, including the filmmakers’ most craven creative decisions.”

Empire: “Deadpool & Wolverine is laser-focused on its title pair and everything people love about them. There’s no eye on the next chapter. No teases of what’s to come. It’s all about right now and making sure the audience has the best time possible.”

CNN: “As such, the third film, offering the enormously media-friendly re-pairing of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman and their on- and off-screen bromance, serves as a valentine to the movies that Fox produced, adding up to an unusually expensive diversion to delight the midnight-screening crowd at Comic-Con. the movie can boast an all-too-rare quality for aspiring blockbusters: It’s just plain fun. Chalk it up as one of those rare experiences where audiences should derive as much enjoyment from watching the film as its leads appeared to have had making it, in a way that mostly, if not entirely, lives up to the hype.”

Deadpool & Wolverine also stars Matthew Macfadyen as Mr Paradox and Emma Corrin as Cassandra Nova, among others. The film is slated to release in theatres on July 26.
