Thunderbolts*

It was a good movie, had a lot of strong moments. It was a good portrayal of depression, the villain was horrifying and intimidating, and the characters were entertaining to watch. It gave me phase 2 mcu vibes which I appreciate. However The main conflict felt like it took too long to build to, and then was finished off too quickly. These anti-heroes ended the movie as glorified mental health coaches. Red Guardian was too much of a comedic relief that we couldn’t even let a heavy moment breathe. Overall, based on all the hype this movie got, I found myself underwhelmed by the end.
