The basic story structure is still intact, but with a significant portion of the blood and gore removed. Read 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. Read full review

Reynolds has this drily ironic fourth-wall business down pat, and Savage makes for an entertaining foil. Read full review

In the end, the whole clean-up project is as shrug-worthy as most of the "Unrated Director's Cut!" edits that go the other direction on home video, promising more nudity and gore but changing little of consequence. Read full review

If nothing else, Once Upon a Deadpool is an experiment that’s interesting in theory, but it doesn’t prove fruitful in terms of execution. Read full review

It feels like overkill. It is overkill. But then again, isn’t that what the Deadpool films are all about? Once Upon a Deadpool, in that sense, feels very much of a piece with the overall series. 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. I wish I could f-[bleep] this movie. Read full review

It's all a shell of itself, with Fred Savage on hand to occasionally note how weird this all is. Read full review

This film was enjoyable. I like how this Deadpool was a great pg 13 adaptation of mech with a mouth who loves to use curse words.

This isn't a great movie, but it isn't a bad one either. Still gives us some jokes that were good. I still somewhat enjoyed this for the most part. Even if this was obviously a cash grab.

Deadpool 2 was fine and fun enough on its first watch, but this was straight-up a chore to sit through. The Fred Savage cutaways have their moments, but without the over-the-top gore and R-rated banter, this just feels awkward and bland.

Ni la pude terminar de ver, sólo un niño menor de 10 años podría disfrutar de esto a secas, en general es verdaderamente aburrida...

The existence of this cut is a joke in itself, but it stops being funny when you actually watch it. The movie is filled with jokes about how it's PG, baby-proof and fun for the whole family, which will tease any child actually watching it into seeing the R rated cut at some point, with orThe existence of this cut is a joke in itself, but it stops being funny when you actually watch it. The movie is filled with jokes about how it's PG, baby-proof and fun for the whole family, which will tease any child actually watching it into seeing the R rated cut at some point, with or without permission. It's basically just a PG trailer for an R film, and if you seriously think your kids need that, I can't help you.

As for adults, even the most Deadpool-starved among you will be bored by this low-effort gag reel.… Expand

This movie is Deadpool 2 but PG13. No blood, not much swearing, some stuff cut out. Then they've added like maybe 4 minutes of Fred Savage in bed and spliced it into the movie 1 minute at a time every 30 minutes.

Even if you are 13 years old I would not recommend this. Just wait untilThis movie is Deadpool 2 but PG13. No blood, not much swearing, some stuff cut out. Then they've added like maybe 4 minutes of Fred Savage in bed and spliced it into the movie 1 minute at a time every 30 minutes.

Love Deadpool 1 and 2. this is nothing but a cash grab and to see if they can make some crappy PG-13 cookie cutter Deadpool movie. A Deadpool that isn't Rated R isn't worth the time to see.
