Thunderbolts* HONEST Review

Overall rating: 8/10

I keep expecting good movies whenever I go to the cinema to watch Marvel (big no at this stage, I know), but this time I was pleasantly surprised to not be surprised with a big pile of repetitive and boring dookey.

The Thunderbolts present themselves as a group of very real individuals, they are capable and mighty but they have flaws, which Marvel seemed to be running away from thus far. The crew all have very obvious yet very different flaws and different ways of coping through it, which are highlighted throughout the whole movie - this makes them very relatable which is a first for me, and makes the movie enjoyable because it feels like you're watching real people.

The action scenes are great, I really love them although I wish we had gotten more of it, the first action scene is definitely the best.

As for the comedy, it seems like Marvel found its pacing. There are comedic moments and quirky one-liners but it isn't annoying and the timing with the jokes is very good, it's not just a little ironic comment to cut the tension here and there.

There are very surprising elements, but the villains... Oh I'm obsessed, I actually loved it. I didn't love how they took care of it (more under the cut), but it couldn't be helped.

Bucky isn't the center, he doesn't have as much exposure but when watching the movie it's very clear and understandable why - he's someone who, compared to all other characters, has had TONS of exposure and background, and it makes sense to shine the spotlight on other characters a little more.

Not Marvel's best, but not Marvel's worst, overall a solid movie that I wouldn't mind watching again.

SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT

Let's address the elephant in the room first: why the fuck is Bucky in the government?... Like I genuinely wish they'd give us some context with that. You could argue that he's been traumatized by terrible people in power and he wants to do good but he looks so uncomfortable, he clearly doesn't like to be there and doesn't want to, it's weird to see.

As for the second post-credits scene, I don't understand Sam Wilson. After the whole shield fiasco (with the Govt giving it to John Walker when Sam gave it to the museum) I'd understand him not wanting to be linked to the government, but he was very clearly defending the U.S President in his movie and he was (again) very clearly involved in politics. I don't understand what's going on there.

I don't like that they had to use the power of friendship again to defeat the big bad guy, but it felt kind of real to see them fail for the first time (the Avengers didn't real fail with Thanos because they brought him back to kill him), and again, it felt real. They are flawed, they can fail, and that is relatable. Also, there was no way they could beat Void or Sentry, so it was clear they'd have to "talk it out".

The serious moments are very good. I thoroughly enjoyed them exploring this feeling of solitude and emptiness that a lot of people feel and go through every day, the ups and downs of being depressed and how confusing it can all be, how it's better to pretend it's not there but how that will end up eating away at you.

They managed to make Yelena an actually good character, they stopped trying to make her Natasha 2.0 and gave her a lot of depth, which I enjoyed. I just wished they'd gone in a bit more on Ghost.

As a last note, I find it ironic how they sort of painted Valentina as a crazy weird lunatic for trying to forcefully bring back the Avengers one way or another and shoving it in people's faces when that's what Marvel itself has been trying to do, lol

It's a very solid movie, I'd recommend it for sure.
