Assembling a ragtag band of underdogs with Florence Pugh as their magnetic standout, Thunderbolts* refreshingly returns to the tried-and-true blueprint of the MCU's best adventures.

Even amid such familiar mayhem, Schreier finds fresh, vivid angles. The action is clear and coherent; the character dynamics strike the right balance of earnest sincerity and glib humor.

The movie features not only some of the best actors in the MCU, but some of the funniest.

I enjoyed the interaction between the characters, but it is one joke...

The Movie Cricket

What’s fascinating ... is how much tension can be built up by not knowing how a character is going to act in a stressful situation, something that’s never an issue when Cap or Thor is the main player.

Rated: 3.5/4

Thunderbolts* enthusiastically delivers all the fast-paced action, intrigue, and adrenaline infused thrills one expects from the MCU, but just as compelling and integral to the narrative is the emotional force of the film.

Thunderbolts* proves itself to be much more thoughtful than it looks, and it hits you hardest where most movies yearn to: its final notes.

Movie was great. Very funny and lots of action. Loved David Harbour and liked Pullman as well. Be sure to stay through credits- on quick funny scene with Red Guardian, and scene at very end of credits. About time marvel put a fantastic movie out. Others were good, but this one stands out.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Marvel is back! What a great movie. Amazing cast with solid chemistry. Hilarious. And most surprisingly, a thoughtful and emotional message. Did not like what they did with the Taskmaster. But other than that, pretty much perfect.
