Thunderbolts*

Recommended

Homelander is black, baby. Just kidding. He makes people depressed and gives them eternal life in their safe space instead of laser eye slaughter. His black face represents negative emotion! Honestly, I'd be fine to sit in the basement watching TV and playing video games as my dad yelled through the window how I am wasting my life and it's such a nice day outside.…

<em>'Thunderbolts*'</em> - a good 36th entry for the MCU. I was expecting this to pack a bit more of a punch in terms of humour, but it is certainly still a movie I'd count as enjoyable. The main reason for that is the cast, all of whom manage to deliver a satisfactory performance. With that said, Florence Pugh is the clear standout in my opinion.…

If you're unsure about whether or not this is another Marvel flop, I can tell you that it isn't. Everything is fantastic, from the action, to the message of mental health. I'll break it down... Action: 10/10 - The choreography is realistic and different for each character. There are many a gun fight, with explosions out the wazoo. The best thing, there isn't a sky beam at the end.…

Just another average movie. They tried to make it about mental health, but there was no emotional depth or congruity. It seemed like 1 day story, completed with an awful ending. A lot of plot holes, like how the villain somehow brainwashed in a few hours time? Pugh had a few good performances. Others were bland and annoying. Forced jokes also felt irritating.…

Hats off to Florence Pugh for injecting some charisma into this film, but otherwise I found it to be little different from the latest slew of “save the planet” Marvel adventures that follows a predictable pattern of escaping from the frying pan into the fire a few times before it culminates in a proud declaration that a new franchise has been born.…

Each character was thoughtfully introduced and built up with depth, making their journeys feel engaging and meaningful. The storyline kept a steady pace, allowing viewers to connect with the emotions and motives of the cast.…

Just watched Thunderbolts and honestly... I did not expect this at all. Went in with pretty low expectations—thought it’d be just another filler Marvel movie—but it actually exceeded them by a lot. The characters had solid chemistry, the action was tight, and there were a few emotional moments that caught me off guard (in a good way).…

Superheroes are supposed to be special, gifted individuals, so it logically follows that movies about them should be equally special. However, as has become all too apparent in recent years, that quality has been steadily eroding in these films due to oversaturation in the cinematic marketplace, a circumstance that naturally begs the question, how special (i.e.…

I wasn't really interested in seeing it, but I was interested in taking my wife to a movie for date night, so we did it and... ... nothing in the movie made us really interested in the movie we were watching. A lot happens that the plot demands happen. There's a lot of conveniences that are nicely peppered throughout the film that the protagonists can use because it's necessary for the plot.…

Thunderbolts genuinely surprised me. I went in expecting a fun Marvel team up but got something even better: a fresh story, fantastic humor, and well-rounded characters that made it stand out in the MCU. The Vault escape sequence was funny and memorable, capturing the chaotic spirit and humorous banter between the team.…

Directed by Jake Schreier (Netflix’s Beef, Showtime’s Kidding) and written by Eric Pearson (Transformers One, Black Widow) and Joanna Calo (The Bear, Bojack Horseman), Thunderbolts* documents the emptiness surrounding Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) as she goes through the motions while working for the Ox Group led by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus).…
