Thunderbolts*

VERY FULL AND VERY MOTHER FREAKING FILLED. Movies like this remind people of how truly good Marvel is. Thunderbolts succeeds on many fronts and tackles mental health in the best way possible. They did Sentry right and utilized his character good, whether it was Bob, Sentry, or the void. Along with Lewis Pullman's great performance, Florence Pugh stands out heavily, putting Yelana at the forefront of my favorite characters list. This is Yelena's movie, and she shines above the rest of the team for me! The entire cast works together really well to create a funny but real team dynamic. There are a couple of moments in the 2nd and 3rd acts that tug on the heartstrings heavily. And they balance the emotional parts of the movie with the humor well. Not only is the film great story-wise, but the action is well shot and has some of the best action scenes to date. Warning, tho, if you're expecting a big, giant 3rd act battle, then ready yourself for disappointment. Because this film breaks that cliche mold, and does something different, which I hope most people appreciate. Most importantly, the movie goes out of its way to finally tie the MCU together and push it along, which is something I thought had been lacking in previous movies. Thunderbolts is a must-see if you’re a Marvel fan, a movie fan, or need a hug.
