According to the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), Deadpool is rated R for strong violence and language throughout, sexual content, and graphic nudity. The movie is not appropriate for children and is aimed at mature audiences only. It contains lots of graphic violence, sex (including partial nudity), adult humor, and nonstop strong language. The violence is extremely strong, bloody, and graphic, including decapitations, brains oozing out of shots to the head, torture, and lots of gory injuries, explosions, and hand-to-hand fights. There is also crude sexual humor throughout the movie. The movie is decidedly grown-up, bloody, and raunchy by comparison to most other Marvel superhero films, which only hint at romance, include just a few curse words, and skip the gore.
