Thunderbolts

i was reading some the the reactions shown on the marvel social media… i'd like to see what those same people said about Brave New World or Quantumania..

How do you pronounce her name? That welsh woman on the One Show called her Florence Poo. I thought it was said like pew, in a church.

Not enjoyed or been to a Marvel movie in the cinema since "No Way Home" but this does look promising so may actually go see "Thunderbolts Asterisk" this week after all.

Not bad. Don't think I'll be bothering with it though.

I’ll be going on Saturday.

The tagline has me confused. Does the “super” mean something else other than superpowers?

They all have superpowers. Even the Widows can be classed as supers because of their conditioning and skills,

I love the poster that has them at each other’s throats with Yelana looking fed up.

I enjoyed it, pleasant surprise, good performances with some weighty themes in the 3rd Act. Hopefully the beginning of an upswing that will see us through Fantastic 4 and Avengers 5 & 6.

His brief chat with Bucky about serums was gold.

Not a fan, found it quite slow and dull.

I enjoyed just after Walker stopped the debris crushing the civilian and the rest of them teamed up to push it away fully.

Most of the team are baffled/uncomfortable by the applause they then get........and Alexei is just saluting and waving to his adoring fans.

Enjoyable. Pew Pew is excellent, a wonderful actor and her accent was spot on. Harbour is great comic relief. JLD was entertaining as well. Nice action scenes and I liked how the friendships within the team developed throughout. It is nice to get a break from all the lazy multiverse stuff too.

One thing about the new wave of Marvel films though, the writers tend to assume you have watched the entire output of movies and shows and don't make much of an effort for viewers who just dip in and out. For example Yelena mentioned the death of her sister but I had no idea who her sister was or that she was an important character until I read it in a review afterwards. They could easily have shown a brief clip or a photo to clear it up.

Something else annoying that caught my attention is the extras, they act like NPCs with poor AI. There was a big fight on the street with gunfire and the extras either ignored it or casually glanced over and then went about their day. People scream and run for cover when they hear gunfire irl.

Overall though it is a good film well worth a watch.

Honestly works fine, Walker is basically Captain America without the idealism. It's really good fun, you'll like it.
