103 STRONG ScoutScore

For most 12 year olds, Deadpool & Wolverine is a no, and the number on this page says so without a caveat. It scores 103 on the ScoutScore, deep in the Strong tier, and the jokes are part of the reason rather than a softener: the violence is graphic and nearly constant, dismemberment and killing are played for laughs, and a laugh does not make a dismemberment milder. It is rated R for a reason, with wall-to-wall profanity and sex jokes in nearly every scene as well. This movie is intense and relentless at once.

A ScoutScore is a living number. We re-check movies against the source and raise or lower it when we find something the first pass missed, so a score you see today can differ from one you saw last month.
