After finding themselves ensnared in a death trap set by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, these disillusioned castoffs must embark on a dangerous mission that will force them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts.

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” feels closer to 2012’s “The Avengers” than any of the more recent offerings, albeit with a slightly nastier crew. And, by God, it kind of works!

Thunderbolts* is an exciting entry in the MCU, eschewing formula for a deeper dive into the mental wellbeing of some of its characters. Though the film is afraid to go too far in to the darkness, it makes up for it through stunning special effects.

Rated: B+

Thunderbolts* is an enjoyable romp. It’s got all the humor and the characters banter with each other relentlessly. Which is great because the comedic timing of the cast is out of this world... You will fall out of your chair laughing.
