  'Thunderbolts*' - 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. Lewis Pullman is solid in his role, the same can be said about Sebastian Stan. I personally wanted to see more of David Harbour, he is certainly the most amusing of those that make an appearance in thsi 2025 flick. Julia Louis-Dreyfus is a bit underwelming, mind you. I don't think the character is interesting enough to feature so heavily and to be quite as instrumental in the plot as de Fontaine ends up being. I'm fairly certain I'll struggle to remember Dreyfus' part in this in the future.

  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. Never aging, cutting the lawn, getting skin cancer, missing that catch in little league. Make Homelander black again. The twist is everyone sucks worse than their counterpart. I thought this movie would suck worse than watching 3 shitty Captain Americas, 1 sexy Nightcrawler and 1 young Black Widow fight crime. But, they support crime while they support each other to face their personal failures and find redemption through positive action! Elaine does well as Vought CEO, the humour well integrated and enough things happen to fill the run time which is short in comparison. I hope you don't read this glowing review before watching because it is due in part to incredibly low expectations, 3 hour run time and a lot of absorbed negativity.

  Had a fantastic time with this movie. Its witty, entertaining and yet so touching at the same time and serious with human things that really matter. Must watch!

  It was alright I guess. I laughed a few times, but no crying. Surprisingly did not notice the long running time, so couldn't have been that bad. You can put this ham on your face if you need to kill 3 hours and want to stay up to date with the Marvel universe.

  good + Some scenes are memorable and well executed + Vilain/superpower looks cool + acting is ok/good bad - overall treatment of characters is flat as they don't look far enough from already existing characters - ending is very usual - no real tension as the treatment of Bob character could never show a growing supervilain menace - fight scenes / talking scene are not good enough (FX, speech,...)

  This could have been a good movie. There are some fun moments in it and the special effects and the action is pretty good. The biggest problem I have with this movie is that the realization of the story is the typical Pedowood crap where everyone is dysfunctional. None of the characters, with the possible exception of the crazy Russian Red Guardian, are really likable. I do not want to watch dysfunctional psychos work through their various issues, random outbursts and flashbacks in a superhero movie. Super heros should be just that, super and heroes, the good guys, not some reflection of the psycho Pedowood denizens. In addition they, deliberately I am sure, made the crooked CIA director look as similar as possible to Tulsi Gabbard. The usual not too subtle messaging from Marvel. Then we come to the ending. What absolute crap! If not for that slop from some low IQ Pedowood writer hack I would have been prepared to give this movie a meh-average rating but now it gets a this-was-bad rating from me.
