Thunderbolts Twitter reviews

The latest superhero offering from the Marvel Cinematic Universe has received mixed reviews online. A user gave the movie 4.5/5 star rating and stated, “Well-written that even the “weaker” ones were still very compelling characters. Pugh and Pullman delivered stellar performances. Top-tier action sequences, heart-wrenching commentary. Best “non-Avengers” film since CA:WS.”

Another user commented, “The film is nice, has great emotional depth, but in the end is not memorable. Sentry, Valentina and Yelena hard carry and the ending sequence is somewhat unique in what it tries to accomplish… thunderbolts goes only for the emotional removing some of the kick you’d expect from a superhero finale.”

A third user replied, “Florence Pugh carried this movie. Lewis Pullman delivered a stellar performance. Wyatt Russell is a great actor. David Harbour is hilarious. It's a great movie in MCU standards.”

A fourth user stated, “#Thunderbolts is entertaining in blips, but overall mediocre, at best. Its superficial depiction of depression is incredibly frustrating (and its band-aid, insulting). It barely scales a series of low bars. Still, underdeveloped & formulaic. Matinee with LOWERED expectations.”
