Critics Consensus

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.

To my shock, Thunderbolts* is the best thing Marvel has put out in ages -- a well-acted piece of popcorn entertainment that balances zippy humor with actual depth. Is it a cinematic masterpiece? No. Will it restore your faith in the franchise? Maybe yes.

The Nightly (AU)

Thunderbolts is a taut thriller sprinkled with wry humour and packs grounded emotional resonance. The latter is a surprise for a film that’s sold as a romp, which it still is, but it is as focused on its characters as it is on explosions

Rated: 3.5/5

Credit the script for its thoughtful character development and getting deeper just when most will think it never will.

Rated: 2.5/4

Thunderbolts* isn't the most fun or thrilling MCU outing ever. But the best and most well-considered of the last several years? I think so.

Radio Times

Schreier has gone for a muted look to reflect the ambivalence and trauma of his characters. However, he also produces a deft balance of action, spectacle, character-driven interplay and bluff repartee...

Rated: 4/5

I enjoyed the not-so-perfect adventure, the petty sniping that bubbled from that deep well of resentment, the sense that for every move, there was an unseen Sword of Damocles waiting to end everything. And Bob. You can’t not like Bob.

Rated: 3/5
