🎬 What Critics Are Saying:
Early reviews have praised the film for steering away from excessive fan service and focusing more on its characters’ emotional depth. Critics note that Thunderbolts* avoids galaxy-level threats, instead making the heroes confront their personal demons — a refreshing shift in Marvel’s typical narrative formula.
“Marvel isn’t experimenting audaciously with Thunderbolts*, but they’re definitely breaking out of the mould,” reads an excerpt from one early review.
