A New Hope for Marvel Fans<\/h2>\n

As the supporters of Thunderbolts*<\/strong><\/em>, Marvel fans were concerned about the studio’s recent problems, particularly with Guardian of the Galaxy<\/em>. However, the first surprising reviews have arrived, and it’s now official: the new Marvel entry is freshly certified on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> with a score of 87%.<\/p>\n

A Much-Needed Victory<\/h2>\n

The score is quite uplifting because Marvel fans urgently need a victory. At the beginning of this year, Captain America: Brave New World<\/strong><\/em> managed to stand out at the box office and became one of the highest-grossing titles of the year with over $400 million. However, it was still received lukewarmly, with a score of 48% from critics, although the audience liked it much better, setting it at 78%. Nevertheless, it was not the comeback that fans hoped for in the MCU. Now it looks like Thunderbolts*<\/em> has succeeded where others failed.<\/p>\n

Back to Basics<\/h2>\n

In his review, Collider’s Ross Bonaime<\/strong> found that “the MCU has just saved itself” and that “Thunderbolts*<\/em> goes back to the basics of what worked beforehand.” He wrote:<\/p>\n

\n

Thunderbolts*<\/em> is a delicate balance of sound that director Jake Schreier deals with quite well. This digs deeper than most Marvel films, but it has also been a film with some of the funniest action scenes and comedic moments in this universe for years. Thunderbolts*<\/em>, like the best films of the MCU, makes the character king, story matters, and all other superhero elements must be built from it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ending Phase Five on a High Note<\/h2>\n

Thunderbolts*<\/em> offers a number of anti-heroes that have participated in several Marvel entries over the years. The group of misfits bands together to take down their former boss, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus<\/strong>). The cast shows Florence Pugh<\/strong> (Black Widow<\/em>), Hannah John-Kamen<\/strong> (Ant-Man and the Wasp<\/em>), Sebastian Stan<\/strong> (Avengers: Endgame<\/em>), Wyatt Russell<\/strong> (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier<\/em>), Olga Kurylenko<\/strong> (Black Widow<\/em>), and David Harbour<\/strong> (Black Widow<\/em>), as well as Lewis Pullman<\/strong> (Salem’s Lot<\/em>) and Geraldine Viswanathan<\/strong> (Miracle Workers<\/em>).<\/p>\n

A New Era for Marvel<\/h2>\n

If the audience reception of Thunderbolts*<\/em> complies with or even exceeds the positive impressions of critics, we will inevitably hope for The Fantastic Four: First Steps<\/strong><\/em>, which is one of the most anticipated Marvel films ever. However, there is a difference in tone between the two films. Apart from the obvious fact that Thunderbolts*<\/em> is much darker and cynical than the optimistic F4<\/em>, the former represents the end of a very long phase five in the entire Marvel universe, and the latter starts phase six – a new era that will include X-Men<\/em> and the first Avenger<\/em> film in seven years. Perhaps the audience is okay with the change in pace.<\/p>\n

Get Ready for the Premiere<\/h2>\n

Thunderbolts*<\/em> premieres this Friday. With its fresh certification on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s sure to be a hit among Marvel fans.<\/p>\n
