What are people saying about Thunderbolts?  

The superhero film follows a group of antiheroes forced to work together on a dangerous mission after being caught in a deadly trap. The film's positive reviews have suggested that Marvel may finally be on track after a string of commercial and critical flops. The last MCU release was Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts will follow in its wake. Some reviews have suggested that Thunderbolts is a throwback to Marvel's Phase 1 films, which had the perfect setup of the characters who then shaped the future of the franchise.

Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova delivers a standout performance, which was the unanimous decision.

Check out some reviews of Marvel's Thunderbolts

"Thunderbolts takes the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the world of independent cinema. It is unlike any product that came before. Florence Pugh gives a performance worthy of an Oscar. The MCU is finally back and better than ever! Stay till the end for something magnetic," wrote one.

Another one said, "Thunderbolts is a real breath of fresh air for the MCU. Absolutely LOVED the team dynamic! It’s also rich with emotions tackling pretty serious self worth issues. Yelena carries the movie. Best part it’s 95% stand alone with 5% setup. But that 5% tho. Really felt like old MCU."

"I haven't felt this giddy leaving an MCU movie in YEARS! #Thunderbolts is FANTASTIC. A Phase One style character piece about finding fulfillment, embracing our demons and the support system needed to save us from the pull of the void. A witty, mature, singular vision from Jake Shreier. Top shelf Marvel," another reviewer of the film stated.
