'Thunderbolts' distinguishes itself in the Marvel Cinematic Universe by presenting a unique narrative centered around a group of flawed antiheroes, led by Florence Pugh's standout performance as Yelena Belova. With a focus on character depth over convoluted backstories, the film offers brutal yet engaging fight scenes and humor that resonates. The misfit team faces moral dilemmas and external threats, particularly from the shady CIA director, resulting in a refreshing dynamic. This vibrant portrayal of characters ensures accessibility for viewers unfamiliar with prior MCU entries, highlighting themes of teamwork among apparent failures.
A funny-but-tortured femme-fatale performance from Florence Pugh as Russian assassin Yelena Belova, brutal and tactile fights and a merciful lack of confusing backstory makes for the most enjoyable MCU entry in a while.
Most of the time, she's dead right. For these complicated antiheroes, getting the job done is strenuous, sweaty work. A stark contrast from Tony Stark, they're a Poor Man's Everybody.
