Thunderbolts Is Marvel Back to Doing What Marvel Does Best

Over the past twenty years, Marvel films have become “Marvel” movies thanks to the amazing company’s ability to weave stories and multiple characters in purposeful, enjoyable and emotional ways. Your films were rewarded for watching by enriching the characters you have already known, presenting them to the new characters that you did not do, and constantly annoy the future. However, in the past few years, the company has moved away from it with many films and shows that have never reached the right balance. He never mastered that famous alchemy. This changes with Thunderbolt.

Thunderbolt Do Marvel again do what Marvel does better. It blends the characters from previous performances and films, and tells the story of an actual material, full of excellent performances that treat dark materials amazingly. She has her voice and tone, but she is still able to make the Marvel Film Universe feel coherent. The film may not reach the highest levels in the past, but it is light years away from low levels.

It was directed by Jake Berrar (Cow meat, robot and Frank), Thunderbolt Use letters from Black widow, Ant-Man and WASP, The Falcon and Winter SoldierAnd others, to tell a story about the weak. A story about redemption. A story about choosing to be your best even when the world is against you. All of this begins with Yeena (Florence Bug), who saw her last time HookOPS operation was performed for Valentina Alegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis Drifus). Yeena does not feel satisfied with that. Dutch tasks. She feels bored, sad and lonely and feels unrealistic and without goal. You yearn for something more, and this is exactly what is about to get it, not just the way you expect it.

Like Yeena, John Walker (Wyatt Russlell), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) and Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko) they also work in Valentina. They are also all heroes in the second races: yelena to her sister, Walker to Captain America, Ghost to Ant-Man, and Taskmaster for everyone, etc., but when Valentina needs to cover up one of her projects that followed on both sides, aims to kill them all at the same time. This, and their common experiences like false vulnerable, link them. Reed Gardian (David Harbour) and Buki Barnes (Sebastian Stan) join the struggle against Valentina as well, and the thunderbolt is formed. Type of. They don’t want to be a team. They should not be a team. But at least they have each other.

It is exactly the point. Huge sections of Thunderbolt They focus on explaining the reason for the characters ’need for the team. Yeena, Walker, ghosts, and the rest are all struggling with what they were, what they want, and what they could be. Thus, in varying degrees, each character gets moments of self -exploration, self -suspicion, and ultimate self -discovery. This is driven by the participation of a very speech scenario, written by Eric Pearson and Joanna Kalu, which often apparently as if it were a more independent movie than a big movie of summer films. There are long dialogue scenes all the time, most of which are funny and charming, while others are slightly driven by the exhibition. But this focus on personality and relationships gives Thunderbolt The tone feels strange.

With the exception of one or two, almost everything in Thunderbolt It is affected by this restraint. The scenes of the movement are not all complicated. The story is relatively clear and integrated, which occurs only a few days. Most of the entertainment is driven by a joking joint joint among everyone. Which, in MCU, takes some accustomed to. But the actors are so good that they create an undeniable chemistry in almost every relationship. Ultimately, this most valuable tone becomes the largest strength of the film. It distinguishes it and keeps us in guessing all the time.

Watching these characters interacts in fun, funny and wonderful ways Thunderbolt. The characters have real conversations about their past, feelings, losses, abuse, pain, everything. As a result, sometimes, the film can become a little dark and uncomfortable. But this is a good thing because the film allows to go to the places that you will not really expect, especially in an unforgettable, powerful, final act.

PGH is Showstopper all the time, giving us yeena we have not seen before. The old is there, complete with MMA removal, sharp experts, and dry humor, but this yelena is also incredibly raw and weakness. In the end, Deep Dive allows her to flourish in the latest Marvel Studios. Harbur has the time of his life as a red sitting, as he offers all kinds of high -energy humor and parental passion. Russell and John Camen looks an incredible and excited game to add more meat to each of their characters as well, while Julia Louis Drifus, well, Julia Louis Drifus and all the distinction he brings.

One strange addition to the team, though, Stan Boki. Bucky is the beloved Marvel character, who was never part of the A team, and struggles to find this role here. He gets some amazing moments, but his story is the least interesting than the group because we have already seen it through many films and a full TV program. Boki already found his call. He found his goal and joining this crew only adds, but never enhances his ambiguity.

Bucky’s lack of depth contrasts with a wide depth in a new character called Bob, which Luis Polman plays (who, yes, also played a character called Bob In Top pistol: Mavrick. How to fit with ThunderboltHis personal struggles add another decisive piece to the mystery of the film, giving the story some great risks, MCU in a more accumulated story.

However, even with that character in the foreground, Thunderbolt Never betray her. This is particularly widespread in the film’s third piece of work, which is a type of left field but also gained the story before that. The scene is full of movement and emotional, but not at all what you expect. Which, in some way, describes the movie itself.

When Marvel collects characters from multiple projects together on the big screen, they have a good reputation and expectations to present a huge scene. Thunderbolt Isn’t this? It is a movie that has a movement, excitement and one of the best final credit scenes in recent years, however it does not lose its younger soul. The characters, like the movie, are the weak. But those, a few small paragraphs aside, end the winner.

Thunderbolt It opens in theaters on Friday.
