Movie Review # 730: Thunderbolts (2025)

And now, let’s dive into the latest Marvel Studios film, Thunderbolts.

Plot: After an experiment goes awry that involved a CIA director killing a bunch of people, a group of criminals, including a man who survived that experiment, come together, and decide to name themselves the Thunderbolts. Now, can they take down their new enemy?

Well, you know what? This is definitely a decent new addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, in quite a few ways, you’ll probably find yourself wishing that it was The Avengers that were around. Even putting aside that comparison, these new characters, they probably aren’t ones that you will find yourself speaking about a lot like The Avengers, Spider-Man, you name it. Not to mention that, let’s just say that, though the story is nice, it could probably be a little stronger. As for the characters, again, fairly memorable, but could maybe somehow leave a little more of an impact on the audience. One other thing to mention is that Thunderbolts could likely be a little too serious for an MCU movie.

Still, there was some really great action in this film. There was this one character that could do some cool flying moves, and that is one aspect that could definitely keep the audience engaged. And yeah, like I said before, the choreography of some of the action was awesome. Finally, despite this Marvel film having a little too much of a serious tone, there was also some good comedy, especially in the beginning, and middle of the film.

And that’s my review for Thunderbolts. It may not exactly be the best addition to the MCU. Still, for what we got, it’s actually not bad. Still, here’s hoping that things will be even better for the Thunderbolts in the future.

Final Rating 7/10
