Where to Watch Thunderbolts*
- Yusef Taufiqhace 6 dPlaying catch-up with the MCU has been interesting, to say the least. Going in, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from Thunderbolts* because I wasn't very familiar with the team. I’d met a few of these characters back in Black Widow—and obviously Bucky in the Captain America films—but they weren't the "Thunderbolts" yet. Admittedly, the movie gets off to a very slow start; I was a bit bored for the first 30 minutes. Luckily, the pace picks up once it dives into the characters' motivations, personal struggles, and group dynamics. Some character arcs receive far more depth than others, but overall, the film focuses its energy on the characters who matter most moving forward. David Harbour is fantastic and consistently hilarious. Florence Pugh is terrific as Yelena. I’ve been a big fan of hers for a while, and ever since the original Black Widow passed the torch, Yelena has easily become one of my favorite MCU characters. She delivers every single time. Sebastian Stan turns in another solid, dependable performance as Bucky.Julia Louis-Dreyfus does fine with what she’s given as Valentina, but the character herself felt pretty weak and got on my nerves after a while. What surprised me most was the villain, The Void. MCU villains often lack weight or real consequence, but here, the stakes feel genuinely high. There’s a real sense of danger, which gave the narrative some much-needed heft. While I don't think Thunderbolts* quite reaches the heights of something like Guardians of the Galaxy, it’s a genuinely good time with surprisingly strong themes and plenty to talk about afterward. Out of the recent MCU entries, this is a really solid film, and I’m definitely intrigued to see how these characters grow as the franchise moves forward.
- Joel2 de mayo de 2025Second time watching, and man this is exactly what I’ve been wanting out of the MCU for so long. Hopefully Marvel learns that if you just get a good cast and crew of talented individuals and let them cook, you can make a great story out of any characters. (They won’t learn anything and will be back to pure slop asap)
- Bryan8 de julio de 2026A nice solid Marvel movie. The plot shakes up the typical MCU formula some, and Pugh and Pullman both shine. In my opinion, Marvel needs to push those two to the forefront. Yelena has been the strongest post-Endgame addition and Sentry has a lot of potential. One thing that bothers me, fair or not, Harbour's Red Guardian just brings to mind "Love Sausage" from "The Boys". The tones of the characters are so similar that I can't keep my head from snapping back there.
- RipLinesMan29 de abril de 2025Thunderbolts maybe not go as crazy deep as Event Horizon (1997) but its still cool and got lots of grit and emoshuns and its part of Marvel so thats awesome. Event Horizen is like a horror in space with people going nuts but Thunderbolts is more like sad superheros being sad and dealing with stuff from before. Florence Pugh is really good as Yelena, she’s like fast and smart and cool. Winter Soldier (the sad guy with robot arm) and Red Gardian (the big funny russian dude) are also good. They all talk and fight and have like real friend vibes and work good as a teem. Its not just comic book fights but also thinking about feelings and bad things that happened, but no space demons like Event Horizen. Jake Schreer did the fights good and also the sad parts good too. Its nice that Marvel made one that dont treat us like dumb kids and let the movie be about deep things like pain and getting better and being not perfect. Event Horizen is all that but spooky, Thunderbolts is same but more superheros and less blood and no eye stuff.
- Megan Cruz1 de mayo de 2025I’m not quite sure yet how this film will fare upon multiple viewings. The themes at work here definitely feel overbearing and even ham fisted in execution, and there’s an undeniable unseriousness to a lot of the plot but when watching this film, I had so much fun. It feels wonderfully character driven and has undeniable personality both in the way it’s shot and the way it approaches the large scale storytelling. I think further viewings could potentially push my rating even higher but I don’t know yet if my feelings about this film are being influenced by the relief of finally having an MCU installment that makes me excited for more for the first time in years. I don’t think that necessarily matters in the short term though. From a theater going perspective, this film is a win for me. The action is tight, the cast chemistry is delightful, I laughed so much, and even though it didn’t make me full on sob, I definitely teared up. It’s nice to see marvel actually having fun again and doing so with seemingly clear artistic intent.
- rg94008 de julio de 2026Thunderbolts proves that if you set the bar low enough for a franchise, a slightly above average movie can somehow feel like a masterpiece. Make no mistake, this movie has some fairly stereotypical ragtag group of rascal teamup tropes that has been done ad nauseum by now, the incessant need for the MCU to use cheesy one-liners to undercut moments of tension, and the terrible washed out look that just makes these movies visually uninteresting. For a decent chunk of the movie, I honestly couldn't see why people were praising it. However, this movie does break the mold from a lot of the recent movies by trying to hone in on the characters. Granted, most of the characters (Bucky, Ghost, Red Guardian) get no depth, and Walker's given a slight nod and not much else. However, I think this movie does a decent job exploring Yelena and another character. Yes, at the end, the movie does have heightened stakes, but the conflict remains a more personal one. It gets resolved a bit too neatly, but I did enjoy the ending quite a bit. I think, at the end of the day, this movie isn't necessarily doing anything super special. Like I said, it's slightly above average. However, it really showcases how much the MCU has failed to do the basics, getting way too caught up in franchise building instead of trying to focus on more human stories with lower stakes. In a lot of ways, I think this is a good template for them to get back on track. Hopefully, they learn from what worked in this movie and build on actual character development, stop using one-liners as a crutch, and try to make their movies actually look good.
- Niztradamus9 de junio de 2026One of the better recent Marvel movies. While Thunderbolts still doesn't capture the chemistry of the Avengers pre Endgame they do a good job in telling a story with tons of Marvel action. I do not like the "New Avengers" angle they are going for though but I can see them back paddling already at the post credit scene. Solid fun movie but just another Marvel movie that lives in the shadow of the pre Endgame movies.
