Thunderbolts* Ratings & Reviews
- Jack4d agoit was alright, nerfed Bucky though!
- Shannon Miller7d agoThis was a really good movie, that didn’t play like your typical superhero movie. The characters had some fairly interesting depth to them, and plenty of comic relief.
- Michael HarrisonMay 2, 2025Enjoyed this from start to finish and can see me rewatching it ALOT
- JoelMay 2, 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)
- ThreeGsApril 11, 2026At least they seem to be having fun in spite of all being a bit of an underpowered mess.
- falkerMay 5, 2025What about Bob?
- izyrealFebruary 25, 2026I thought it was a really cool movie interesting concept.I don't know about future versions of this though
- dave.r.grFebruary 8, 2026It couldn't hold my attention the story line was lame at best
- AevihJune 18, 2025Marvel is back.
- RipLinesManApril 29, 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 CruzMay 1, 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.
- Katreina EdelweissFebruary 7, 2026Genuinely surprised me. One of the few truly good Post-Endgame Marvel films.
- Karen NakamuraJanuary 27, 2026This was much better than it had any right to be. In fact, much better than some of the other MCU movies. It starts slow and you're wondering what the heck is going on but it slowly builds with a mostly satisfying conclusion.
- LalienXJanuary 24, 2026This one caught me by surprise. A step in the right direction
- Echo ParkinJune 11, 2025Marvel made a comeback with this movie since Loki and Moonknight 🔥
