Deadpool & Wolverine divides critics as Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman's chemistry is praised and film called 'terrific entertainment' and 'pure fan service' while others blast it as 'awful' and 'a spiritual dead end for franchise'


The R-rated adventure - which re-teams Ryan Reynolds ' Deadpool and Hugh Jackman 's Wolverine - has already earned huge praise from fans in early screenings.

But he added that their action sequences leave a lot to be desired, despite being both 'bloody and profane' writing: 'The sparring between the silly goose and the tough grump that has been a centerpiece of the film’s marketing never quite sparks; their fight scenes are equally underwhelming, repetitive and terribly hampered by both characters’ invincibility.' But Robbie Collin savaged the flick in his review in The Telegraph, giving it one star and calling it 'a protracted trudge through the cultural wreckage left behind by 20 years of superhero movies, in which nothing of meaning or value can be found' (Emma Corrin pictured in film) Donald Clarke also did not pull any punches in The Irish Times, criticising Deadpool's constant jokes mocking the Marvel Cinematic Universe's recent downfall after a spate of poorly received projects (Ryan and Rob Delaney pictured in film)
