	Author	Review
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A few good new jokes don't make up for what's missing (...) While some of the bits work better than others, it's something the character's biggest fans will want to see"	NEU
United States	Vinnie Mancuso Collider	"What you’re left with is simply…a PG-13 'Deadpool 2' (...) Fox is shooting itself in the foot a bit by branding 'Once Upon a Deadpool' as something new, and a few moviegoers are going to leave the theater disappointed"	NEG
Canada	Molly Freeman Screen Rant	"The script in 'Once Upon A Deadpool' works well enough thanks to the storytelling structure they employed (...) The evidence of the cutting and editing done to remove R-rated content leaves holes (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Kate Erbland IndieWire	"[It shows] an editing choice that gives this version a jittery, stilted quality that wreaks havoc on its existing narrative flow (...) [The action sequences] are either sanitized (...) or snipped into incoherence"	NEG
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"You’re just watching 'Deadpool 2' again, albeit with some of the violence trimmed [and] some of the coarse language covered up (...) Whether or not you’re up for another go-round is a matter of taste"	NEU
United States	Adam Graham Detroit News	"'Once Upon a Deadpool' is first and foremost a cash grab, but as such, it doesn't feel like a rip-off. It's an inventive way to get fans to pay to see a film they've already seen"	NEU
