  Review by Matt Singer ★★½

  Definitely a step down from the original (which wasn’t all that great to begin with), but respect to whoever decided to spruce up an airplane cut of Deadpool 2 with a couple wraparound scenes and sell it to the audience a second time with the trolling title Once Upon a Deadpool. Major “I’m not even mad, that’s amazing” vibes right there.

  I'm still not quite sure why I just willingly watched a censored cut of a movie

  "As you wish" - Peter Falk (NIF)

  If you want to evaluate it as a movie alone then no it is not as good, but I give this film kudos for becoming a movie with the ability to comment on itself, respond to haters, and troll the MPAA at the same time.

  I honestly can't think of a funnier way to taunt the people that hate Deadpool than to create a movie that comes out later in the same year, which is almost literally the exact same movie, that references itself but also puts it into the context of a meta-reference to a movie that came out over 30 years ago. Having Fred Savage represent the angst of Deadpool haters…

  Review by Justin Peterson ★★★★½

  Despite the first part of this movie being even more all over the place, the humor surprisingly worked a lot more for me on this rewatch.

  "Kind of prefer Marvel movies ... We are Marvel ... Yeah, you know, but you’re Marvel licensed by Fox. It’s like if The Beatles were produced by Nickelback. It’s music, but it sucks .... You were nicer as a kid!"

  It is hilarious to hear how self aware this updated version gets as Fred Savage and Deadpool poke fun at some of the tropes and short cuts the script leans on. And honestly I did not mind the PG-13 rating at all, and my kids got to see what Dead Pool was all about. But I would say it is definitely a strong PG-13 with its language and sexual content.

  Here is the link to my original Deadpool 2 review. https://letterboxd.com/petersonj198/film/deadpool-2/

  Thanks for reading.
  Happy movie watching .... cheers!

  Review by LeSchroeck ★★½ 4

  Immerhin ist "Take on me" wieder mit drin. Und über ein paar neue Momente musste ich schmunzeln. Ansonsten erschließt sich mir aber nicht so ganz der Sinn, so viele und dann auch noch gute (Meta-)Gags mittels der Fred Savage-Szenen zu erklären. Oder dem Film das zu nehmen, weshalb ich ihn als 12-Jähriger gerade erst hätte sehen wollen: die Gewalt. Kurzum: nettes, zerstückeltes und unnötiges Bonbon, für das man eigentlich kein Extrageld verlangen darf. Für einen Nachmittag krank im Bett hat's aber gereicht.

  There's no reason for this to exist.

  Review by Connor Carey ★★★

  Not entirely sure how to rate or review this but I'll give it a go. I definitely wouldn't suggest paying money to see this as it's literally "Deadpool 2" with a PG-13 rating and about 10 minutes of additional footage. While that PG-13 rating definitely hurts a few scenes it works for the most part. However the Fred Savage stuff is hilarious and I love "Deadpool 2" so I enjoyed watching "Once Upon a Deadpool". It would've worked better as a Blu-Ray special feature but I didn't leave the theater mad that I paid for this.

  Review by Irwan Nur Rizqi ★★½ 2

  The way they criticize their own movie here is a big plus. But this counted as third or fourth times I've watched and I was kinda bored. The sequences between Deadpool and Fred Savage are a delight. And Zazie Beetz is still cute as hell, so, whatever Ryan.

  At least Julian Dennison can finally watch this movie.

  Review by Jacob ★★★ 2

  It’s literally just Deadpool 2 with about 7-10 minutes of new content at most, but somehow, I liked it better? The Fred Savage framing device is poorly introduced yet recovers well. One of my favorite bits in the movie happens in one of these new scenes. I can stomach the vulgarity of this series, but the re-dubbing here with less abrasive dialogue actually felt pretty natural. Some of the jokes lose their impact, though most go unchanged. Certain gags are actually cut out all together, and as someone who thinks these movies are usually too dense, it really improved the pace for me. 

  No clue who this is actually for, since it’s not enough new material for most people to want…

  Review by parley78 ★★★ 3

  The Fred Savage stuff really stands out, and the rest is mostly just a clip show of some of the best bits of the original. Granted, there's a lot to love, and a good amount of the jokes hit, but it's just so scattershot and hard to follow with a good majority of the film left out. I mean, Julian Dennison get like, 5 minutes of screen time, and he's one of the main characters. Really no reason not to watch the original and then just look up the Fred Savage parts on youtube, imo

  Review by Milky Cybart ★★★ 1

  The pg13 dubbing over the swears is very obvious and is less fun without the gore making these Deadpool films unique.

  Still the same movie, still as good and enjoyable.

  The Stan Lee cameo at the very end was heartbreaking
