The Film Verdict Alonso Duralde

Apr 29, 2025

That Thunderbolts* (and yes, the movie explains that asterisk) emerges as one of the MCU’s most successful team-up movies is its own victory, considering that the team in question is made up of a collection of sidekicks, oddballs, and losers, mostly culled from lesser-known Marvel movies and even TV shows.

Screen Rant Molly Freeman

Apr 29, 2025

Thunderbolts* deftly tackles mental health and serves as a fantastic MCU movie, with great performances from Florence Pugh and Lewis Pullman. Read full review

The Daily Beast Nick Schager

Apr 29, 2025

With Florence Pugh as the intensely magnetic center of this ramshackle maelstrom, and despite a couple of familiar Marvel shortcomings, it’s a protean superhero saga that stands on its own—regardless of its title’s qualifying asterisk. Read full review

Apr 29, 2025

This might be the funniest cast Disney has ever assembled in the MCU. Every character plays off the others wonderfully, giving the whole movie the kind of chemistry that the franchise hasn’t had since the original Avengers. Read full review

Apr 29, 2025

Thunderbolts* is a nice reminder of what this company is capable of at its best. It looks good, it sounds good, and it really does turn its protagonist’s pain into an effective allegory about rejecting despair and apathy in favor of action and brotherhood. Read full review

IndieWire David Ehrlich

Apr 29, 2025

I’ve seen Julia Louis-Dreyfus bring more pathos to Old Navy commercials than she’s given the chance to wield as de Fontaine. Read full review

Alan Ng

Apr 29, 2025

While Florence Pugh and David Harbour try to inject some soul into the chaos, the film proves that no amount of punchlines can save a story that forgot its superpower. Sometimes you don’t need a group hug—you need a good old-fashioned throwdown. Read full review
