I had a whole Thunderbolts* review written here, hit a key combo by accident and lost the entire thing.
So let me just say this:
- great film and a wonderful time
- best MCU flick since Endgame? Probably yes, but let's not dismiss the two excellent Spider-Man films in there too...
- stellar post-Avengers cast - Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan,Wyatt Russell, David Harbour and Julia Louis-Dreyfus
- dances with admirable skill and rhythm along a very thin line between dark, funny, and darkly funny
- ties in to established MCU lore without feeling like homework (a criticism Kevin Feige has made himself, actually)
- a team of anti-heroes brought together in a story tied inextricably to mental health? Bold!
- managed to stick the landing on both the team name* (and the asterisk)!
- best post- (really post) credit scene since Phase 3 (and it was only shot three weeks ago)
If you feel done with superhero flicks, this one might not change your mind, but if you enjoyed them at some point in the past, you should maybe oughta give Thunderbolts* a chance? It is not only distinct, but gives solid hope for future MCU films.
And I know all my fellow comic nerds have already seen it or have made plans, so we good.
