Ronak Kotecha - 3.5 Stars

Ronak from TOI gave the movie 3.5 out of 5 stars and says Ryan Reynolds' jokes are even better than his fight scenes, and both are impressive. He ends with “Deadpool & Wolverine' breaks barriers and goes where other MCU films haven't, capturing nostalgia, humour, and most importantly, delivering oodles of entertainment.”

Peter Bradshaw - 3 Stars

Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian gave 3 stars to the film said the movie is full of laughs and action, but ends on a serious note with a tribute to Hugh Jackman's X-Men moments. Deadpool humorously saves the day, keeping the MCU fun.

Tanmayi Savadi - 3 Stars

Tanmayi of Timesnow describes the film as Deadpool & Wolverine entertains but lacks depth. Director Shawn Levy focuses on fan service over new surprises. The weak villain and rushed climax are issues, but Marvel fans will still enjoy the humour and visuals.

Bilge Ebiri - Look, I Laughed

A film critic for New York and Vulture, Bilge Ebiri, did not seem impressed though. “...is it the movie or the marketing? For better or worse, we live in a world where that question has ceased to matter,” he says criticising the focus on excessive fan service rather than the plot.
