Anecdoted or skipped?

I regret notifying you Thunderbolt* ((You are now on VOD platforms like Amazon Prime VideoIt does not reduce the weight of the crushing 35 Marvel Cinematic University Films that came before that. The good news is, it is one of the best entries in the last half of the gallots of Goliath, and this comes from a person who has long been moved for MCU Ennui, as Botus and the absolute booby nourishing it like Etharnalsand Ant-Man and WASP: Quantumania and Thor: Love and Thunder. Average gambling Thunderboltsasterisk (please note the star) He is the director Jake Braretir and the script book Eric Pearson and Joanna Kalu intention: They want to make MCU “about” Something instead of just having a part of the sprawling multi -party narration. Of course, it is “about” mental health and shock, something that has become clichés in modern films of all kinds, but still, not something in the context of MCU. While they were often positive comments from critics, the masses swing to a global order of $ 380 million “only”, which is frustrating in the same context of MCU. But don’t cry Thunderboltsasteris. Somehow, I think Marvel and Disney will be fine.

essence: depression. This is the mood in which Florence Bug sits over the Merdica 118 tower, and tells “There is something wrong with me – the void” in Roshon Accent. Then she throws herself on the edge. But the soul! This is not a suicide, it’s just another task for Yeena Bolova, known as Black Widow, Avenger who has now died by Scarlett Johansson. It has crashed in a room and outperformed some players and gets rid of some explosions that will calm them out of cold and hypothesis-all in the work of one day in the work of Valentina Alegra de Fontaine (Julia Lewis-Ridrifus), the director of the CIA that faces excessive projects in which it is excessive, other than a letter/unprecedented such as Ugy like Yelena to implement it. One of Valentina’s political competitors is nothing but Boki Barnes, also known as the winter soldier (Sebastian Stan), a newly -elected Congress member who pushes to overthrow her. And if you want more evidence that the MCU is a complete imagination and its impact on our reality, then Valentina and Boki’s affiliations have not been mentioned or even glimpsed, and bad actors are considered in strong levels of the important American government for the open and high -ranking mission.

Well, to be fair, Thunderbolt* Does it reflect the current facts in that all the heroes are sad. First, yelena-her dear sister died, she tolerated a great brainwashing to become Asskicker Kickass, who has been a year since she spoke with her amazing father. So you fall on it. You may remember that he is Alexei Shostakov (David Harbour), also known as Red Vardyan, who suffers from ancient and pardoned, I like to refer to him as a Soviet leader America. It is excessive rough ambiguity with Supersoldier capabilities that thirst for work, but it has to drive a limousine to meet its needs. At least he does not stand in a queue for vodka and bread hours?

Yeena keeps chugging, though. Valentina gives her another disturbance, as she goes out to a mastery assassination warehouse. This elegant is John Walker (White Russell), also known as the American agent, or more distinctly, Timo Captain America; You will remember that he was taught by disturbing Cap Legit after a man was killed in Falcon and winter soldier TV series. But before anyone was killed, some of the names of the poor people appear: Ava Starr (Hanna John-Kamen), also known as Ghost, and more than entertaining the evil man from Ant-Man and WASP I forgot and taskmaster (olga kurylenko), which does not get funny details and title because it is not part of this conspiracy for a very long time. It turns out, all of them working secretly for Valentina. Valentina sent them to the same place to kill each other. Then Valentina would be killed by leaving the stand. See, it destroys everything that is isolated, so that you can avoid insulation. Ideal crime.

Of course, Valentina reduces the mercenaries of employees, who managed to escape her attempts to erase them. They stumble on the Rando car with a memory loss called Bob (Louis Pullman), which is the subject of the experiments supervised by Valentina; In one way or another, he has the ability to appear in memories of other painful memories of other characters. The group puts their differences aside, the various biccadilo and the unit so that they can cooperate and remove Valentina. Bucky also wants a piece of it, so it collects itself again. The Soviet captain joins the fun, because the film needs some tense comic relief. So, what should a group of bishops call? I know! New beauty- (The giant star applies to my head, kills me immediately)

What movies will you remind you?: Well, MCU did not have a file Suicide Band To date – what is what you mention Suicide Band – This is largely. Just be grateful, he tends more towards James Gan, not David Air.

Performance is worth watching: Bug is clearly not the first powerful actor appointed (Iqra: Giant paid piles) to be in the MCU unit. But is it the first person who is really permitted Do some representation? I think so! somewhat! Not that it will win the Academy Award. But Bug’s character has a lot of inner life like an external life – even Chris Evans, Captain America or Iron Man, Robert Downey Junior, was not very much.

Unfortunate dialogue: “So none of us fly? We just shoot and shoot?” Ylena refers to one of the shortcomings in its new group

Sex and skin: no one.

We took: In imitating a real comic book, I’m not really dead! The star killed me, but I pushed me underground and my body fell in an underground spring from a long -term foreign chemical soup that comes out of the meteorite that was shattered to the ground before surrounding me with the powers of super power and cash analysis to throw the star aside and remind you that Disney/Marfel is my response Thunderbolt* like The new avengers After the first weekend of the theatrical release, prompting the MCU DWEEBITS to predict the future of the concession in a very humid and chaotic manner. The film is reasonably satisfied with its scar from the conclusion, instead of inspiring the exhausting sighs of a series that lacks greatlyThe end of the game Mcu.

So what is this non -inner taste remaining in our mouths? The reader, this may be just a little hope wandering on us. It is not that Schrier is a new Marvel, but a lot of modern films have been incorporated in an unresolved manner (Wakanda foreverand Miracleand Captain America: a new brave world), I stood like an DDBALL (Dr. String and many madnessA story without a gesture ended to the future (Parents from the folder galaxy. 3) Or he disturbed a group of funny jokes amid Lotta’s nonsense (Deadpool and Wolverine). Standing alone, Thunderbolt* Whatever, but in the corner context in the brain of the MCU, it is a clear cut above.

Set aside the usual homework that you need to work through to understand the next MCU chapter – it is given, you do not have to like, we know how this now works, get used to that, overcome it, etc. – and you will find Thunderbolt* It strikes friendly and objective grooves with kindness that the MCU matches mentioned above can be found: the clarity of the narration of the stories, the pour of quality and the shows, the constant sharp text and the optical style full of well. It is more likely to overcome Wisess Snarky Comedy (although you want to laugh at the port more than you do) into an honest stab in pictures of people who are struggling with shock (a few of our main heroes are involved in a low mental health competition), but it maintains its narrative functions, and does not resemble many hundred hundreds of eating.

I think what I get here is, Thunderbolt* Consistency in a way that is not countless of the fourth/five films. The Schrier use of real sites instead of photographing Soundstages on the green screen exceeds the brackets of personality and stimulates the procedure. The battles and chases are an incomparable touch, but nevertheless are intelligently directed, and the character and the subject of images in a way that you often do not see in superhero films. It is still more intelligent, that our heroes find themselves in a conflict that does not solve the typical violent Rigamarole; The film participates in metaphors and some of the things that return somewhat, as the characters were placed in a state of psychological criticism that can only be resolved with intuition and (moments) to express emotion. If you try very intense, you can get some political symbol from it, but for God, stop trying strongly. You will thank me later, and it is better to appreciate Thunderbolt* Being welcome, delayed a long time ago, deviating from the MCU base.

Our invitation: Thunderbolt* Not more fun or MCU exciting at all. But the best and the most looking in the past few years? I think so. splash.
