Esther Zuckerman Bloomberg News 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. Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Wenlei Ma 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 May 27, 2025 Full Review Dwight Brown DwightBrownInk.com Credit the script for its thoughtful character development and getting deeper just when most will think it never will. Rated: 2.5/4 May 22, 2025 Full Review John Serba Decider 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. Jul 3, 2025 Full Review Jeremy Aspinall 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 Jul 2, 2025 Full Review MontiLee Stormer MovieReelist.com 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 Jun 28, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Saw it twice in the theatres and just bought it. The overall theme was inspiring and movie score was on point ⚡️🦾⚡️ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review Leslie R Darker than the average Marvel movie. If that works for you you might enjoy it.
