Tomatometer-approved Cris Parker wrote, “#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.”

“#Thunderbolts is one of the best mcu films by a landslide. Brilliant story and character moments. This is made with love. It setups up for BIG things to come in the most exciting way I seen since 2012. Bring your tissues but not because it’s a sad movie,” says film enthusiast, Deo.

Dana Abercombie writes, “#Thunderbolts is not ur average superhero movie. Instead, it focuses on the emotional weight of the psychological consequences & burdens of being a hero & life itself. Lewis Pullman walks a thin line between joy & darkness, fighting to overcome the complexities of mental illness.”

Mia Pflüger shares, “#Thunderbolts* introduces a new era for Marvel, the most humane film filled with allowing their anti hero being flawed, broken and regretful. Sebastian Stan has an absolute scene stealing moment, yet Florence Pugh shows she is the true lead of the new generation and team.”

Sean Chandler wrote, “I really dug #Thunderbolts! It’s overtly about depression, loneliness & purpose. The whole point is they’re reject characters. 2/3rds mostly ground action and 1/3rd a horror influenced nightmare. Feels like the MCU is coming together and building towards something again.”
