Marvel Movie Discussion: The Thunderbolts* Update: Sentry? NEW BIG GAME TRAILER!
- Thread starter playahaitian
- Start date
But the script and everything was with marvel studios; just like spidey just like strange just like guardians just like daredevil; so for all those predicting downfall need to stop!
4/10. Tried to be emotional, and it failed. The humor was only hitting for white people.
Pugh's action scenes were slower than Halle Berry in John Wick. She should have done more practice with a gun. She was counting her steps like a kid who just picked a instrument for the first time.
How many times do.we need to see a women jump in the air, and spin on a person's neck to take them down. Can we get some new martial arts choreography.
The limo drive across the country was ridiculous and made no sense.
A red button, on a RC car remote, WTF is this 1970's sci-fi
A hug conquers all, man who writes these bullshit ass scripts.
This goes in the watch it once Marvel pile with eternals. I will never understand how this movie is estimated to make $400+ million

Eternals was an amazing movie.4/10. Tried to be emotional, and it failed. The humor was only hitting for white people.

Please stop your bullshit.
Well...I saw it.
And it was...OK. I actually think Brave New World was a better movie.
Thunderbolts was a rehash of Guardians of the Galaxy, with a splash of Suicide Squad mixed in.
That's not to say it was a bad movie...just formulaic. What they really need to do is stop giving away so much in the trailers. So much anticipation was lost when you already knew that Taskmaster was dead, the Thunderbolts had no chance against Sentry & that it would be some 90s dramedy solution to stop the threat of the Void, all from the trailers.
Which, BTW, was the weak point of all of this.
Shit is nonsensical.
And don't get me started on the end credit scene...talk about shoehorning shit in.
The Marvels was better than this.
I do like the fact that the Void was just a negative Sentry, that was dope. I hope, if they ever make a Starman or JSA movie/TV show (not that Stargirl shit, the real OGs), they use that same effect for Obsidian & the Shade. I also liked the fact that Sentry wasn't a direct Superman rip-off. He did the same shit Kal-El does but it was his own style, his own way, just unique enough. I'm also glad that they made John Walker more like the honorable asshole he is in the comics. I hope they do Guy Gardner the same way when Superman comes out.
6 out of 10. I'll watch it again to see if I missed any Easter eggs but after that, on the shelf it goes.

Getting betrayed by Valentina made the Sentry void out...so, why kill all of those people below but not kill her? Void knew that the Thunderbolts were a threat, so why kill a bunch of people & not the Thunderbolts...who were directly on the ground going through their shits? The solution to end all of this was to voluntarily get voided, then give Bob a hug? And then you get tricked into becoming the New Avengers by the same woman that actively tried to have you killed? Remember, this is a squad of assassins (one "retired") that were just betrayed.

I thought the same thing about your spoiler.
Everyone clapped at the end of the movie. Had no idea why. It's a one and done for me. Some parts just dragged to much for me. Was done with comics by the time Sentry came along. Sounds like the new hulk, so powerful they gonna find a way to not use him In key situations

SUNDAY AM: Thunderbolts* at a $76M opening, isn’t the most stellar of Disney Marvel Studios’ openings, but, heck, this is significantly better than the start of summer a year ago when Universal’s original action romcom, The Fall Guy, fell on his face with a $27.7M start.

I loved it but I like these Suicide Squad and Guardians of Galaxy type films. One of the better movies I seen from Marvel.
You not. It’s a joke lol. Wait have you seen the movie or not? I don’t want to spoil it if you haven’t but they pretty much tell you what it is.
For me this was like their make up test. They failed the first go around and revamped the characters and made them llikeable.
Naw. I ain't watch that shit.
Not interested either.
Oh ok then yeah they explain what it is. It’s a dark comedy honestly. In one of the after credit scenes they explain how they beefing with Captain America over the The Avengers name and how they not even seen as real avengers hence the asterisk next to Thunderbolt. Well made film.
I think the hug was more so a metaphor for dealing with those with depression. Felt the whole movie was an ode to checking on those even if you going through your own stuff.4/10. Tried to be emotional, and it failed. The humor was only hitting for white people.

Saw it twice. REALLY enjoyed it.
Good Acting. Fun. Good pacing. Nice way to tie everything together.
I been said for a LONG time Yelena need more spotlight. But EVERYONE came to play from leads to supporting. Casting was well done.
I like how they are bringing ALL the pieces together Movies TV past present intergalactic.
The mental health angle was very clever and well done. Fight scenes were exceptionally choreographed. Good music
Smart post credit scenes.
If yall hating on this I can't take yall seriously.

Yeah wilding. Marvels was ass and if you have this a 6/10 what you thought Marvels was a 7 or higher?
^^^
exactly
the whole movie was about mental health
It was even released on Mental Awaeness Month.
That hug had people clapping in the theatres I saw it in.
Hell some people got emotional.
Especially post pandemic this was a smart direction to go into an shift from the traditional genre tropes.
I will DEFEND Marvels to the death that somewhere in there in between all that mess? WAS a GOOD movie.
It was NOT horrible. The power share scenes were clever. Ms Marvel may be the best character we got. Chemistry was great. It just needed some editing. Okay a LOT of editing. But it was NOT horrible.
Man we here on this one. I stayed away from reviews a this thread and until I saw it. I’m shocked to see the reaction to it in here. Well made and well directed film with some great action. Definitely will see it again.
