In "Thunderbolts*," Marvel Studios assembles an unconventional team of antiheroes -- Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster and John Walker. 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. Will this dysfunctional group tear themselves apart, or find redemption and unite as something much more before it's too late?

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.

Pugh is so impressive that you don't at first notice how much else there is to admire in the film.

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.

Thunderbolts was a fun MCU entry, full of good action and banter, but with a solid heart at the centre of the story.

Rated: 4/5

The assembled characters have a great dynamic that only gets better as the film progresses... This film also injects degrees of vulnerability and humanity into the superhero story that, for better or worse, make the characters more relatable.

Everything is Horrible (Substack)

The stale jokes and tired fight scenes would be bad enough. The endless shoveling of amnesiac inspiration, though, pushes the film past tedious and on into actually offensive.

a movie whose value sneaks up on you as it goes along. there are fewer of the unnecessary marvel jokes as is there formula. The Sentry is the coolest concept of a hero marvel has put out, well it's the best one they put out yet - concept-wise remember... they could always blow it, but this is a wildly intriguing film with an incredible ending that you don't quite expect yet fully and thoroughly enjoy.
