Marvel’s “Thunderbolts” Signal is a better version of “Suicide Squad”
Thunderbolts, the latest edition of the big screen of Marvel Studios (which is also his last movie of Phase five), goes Suicide A route, unifying a group of degenerate anti-heroes in the name of the greater good. Surprisingly, this is a more enjoyable movie than his colleague DC.
The leading fee is Florence Pue Like Jelena Belova, the new black widow. Sebastian Stan again represses his role as Bucky Barnes; David Harbor returns as a parent figure of Jelena, Alexei Shostakov, also known as the Red Guardian; Wyaat Russell is John Walker (his gloomy version of Captain America first appeared in “Falcon and Winter Soldier” and then in Captain America: A brave new world). Olga Kurilenko represses her role as a Task leader, and last but not least is Hannah John-Kamen as a great ghost.
I have to come clean for something. I’ve been more Mech than Yes With Marvel movies recently. You can put it up to a bunch of things, such as overfiring the superhero genre, Marvel’s formulated narrative structure, or tired use of CGI effects. Needless to say, I went into thunderstorms with low expectations. Surprisingly, she successfully exceeds them all.

If it wasn’t for Pue and Harbor’s engaging performances, I’m not sure Thunderbolts would work as well as it does. At its core, this is the story of Jelena and almost everything else is secondary. The conflict and connection of the daughter’s father between her and Alexey deliver the emotional foundation here. The story between these actors who worked together in the movie “Insufficient Black Widow” helps to inform the story between their characters. Not to mention, it helps that both are Powerhouse talents on the screen.
This does not mean that the other members of the cast do not hold their own – they do what it takes to make sense and to direct things in Phase Six. By the time they come together for your first big battle, you can feel a feeling of chemistry and cohesion between them. It is clear that Marvel creates some big things about the phase six, and their unwavering, dysfunctional dynamics makes a group of characters worth rooting.

Julia Luis-Dreyfus carries some great energy to Veep like Valentina Allegra de Fontein, who is generally Amanda Waller in this anti-heroic squad. Then there is Lewis Pullman who plays beans, a mysterious man whose newly discovered god-like powers make him a guard, whom you can describe as a less hamal-humlander. Although this dude is definitely dangerous, it is a shame more than his villain was not presented in the movie.
This is where Thunderbolts hesitates a little. None of the story beats, which fill in that the Bob’s background has been won. It was a significant time in the development of chemistry for this new crew of superheroes, and when it was finally time to fight the threat of guard, the bets looked missing. Mental health is a line that connects Bob to Jelena, which ultimately informs this battle with the boss. It is moving enough, but the rules in the world reveal a villain whose power is great but not deadly.
Then is the new Avengers: Doomsday Cast revealed that lists each Thunderbolts actor, so they will obviously live. This proverbial safety net was a bright crutch during the second and third acts of the film.
Unlike Captain America: Brave New World, the scenes of battle presented at Thunderbolts were entirely rivets. You can feel the work that the team is done to revive those feuds, which provides quality of the visceral street level of action. Instead of relying on CGI to bring the movie to its culmination, the use of unique camera work and practical designs of kits delivered a third act reminiscent of creating with all its pop -up panacers.
Florence Pue is Jelena Belova, also known as Black Widow 2.0, at Marvel’s Thunderbolts.
Sidenote: Pue’s combat wisdom feels more tactful and plausible than what Scarlett Johansson withdraws earlier. What I say is that I would never want to come across the actress Midsomam in a dark alley.
The abundance of humor, presented throughout the movie, came as a delightful surprise. The comedy is not new to Marvel, but it has the feeling that MCU has been a little deprived of laughter recently. Thunderbolts is by no means an innovative film, nor is it an event that will violate the established story in this expansive story of the universe.
But it is not meant to be.
Thunderbolts offers a sip of fresh air. It is a scorch cleanser that reminds the audience that Marvel films can be fun – and, I dare say, even funny. This is not the press of a wrap, but it works at multiple levels and successfully puts the scene for the fantastic four: the first steps that are designed to hit theaters this summer. What more could you ask?
