Dempsey Pillot agreed with them, calling the film "a road trip comedy for the ages", with Tessa Smith of Mamas Geeky saying the film left the "biggest smile on [her] face the whole time & even teared up".

Amidst the overwhelming outpour of praise from the premieres, some critics had some things to say about the style and action in the film.

Rendy Jones said, "Shawn Levy can't seem to get off Spotify and direct coherent action! Downright embarrassing at times", with Jacob Kleinman agreeing, adding, "visually this movie looks very washed out. It's like Loki meets Mad Max, but with all the color and style drained out of it."

Some critics went even further.

Robert Daniels called Deadpool & Wolverine "one of the worst made movies of the year" and William Bibbiani called it "distressingly dismal."

So there's a healthy melting pot of opinions out there right now for you to dissect, both positive and negative.
