Thunderbolts
SCORE: 69
Marvel and the M-SHE-U has taken a beating over recent years. I heard
that Thunderbolts was actually a decent Marvel movie. I am thankful that
I had the money to purchase a copy of Thunderbolts on DVD. This movie is
one hundred and twenty-six minutes long. The issues families can have
with Thunderbolts are violence, blood, bad language, false gods, and
more. There are plenty of humorous moments within Thunderbolts.
Please we warned that spoilers will be a part of this review going
forward. Valentina Allegra de Fontaine is being investigated by Congress
for impeachment hearings. She is trying to wrap up all of her loose
ends. Assassin Yelena Belova, US Agent, Ghost, Taskmaster are all caught
in a trap where they will be incinerated. They escape that trap and also
run across Bob. Bob was in a box and thought to be dead. Bob becomes
Sentry in Thunderbolts.
Bucky and Red Guardian meet up with the characters to help them escape.
They then decide they should fight against Valentina. Bob is not right
in the head. In fact Sentry turns into Void at one point in
Thunderbolts. The B level characters are nowhere near as powerful as the
Avengers. It is kind of sad to see them fight Sentry and lose badly. It
would be like Batman and Green Arrow trying to take down Superman
without any kryptonite.
The losers in Thunderbolts become more loveable as the movie progresses.
They move from bad people that no one likes to heroes in Thunderbolts.
This is a total Marvel kind of a thing. Remember how the Avengers
initially were very flawed. The characters in Thunderbolts actually grew
on me. They went from insulting one another to helping one another in
this movie. They became a team in Thunderbolts.
There is a theme and a message in Thunderbolts that you are not alone.
The end credits have two scenes. The last one is extremely fascinating
to me personally because it brings us to the Fantastic Four movie. There
is a funny Wheaties scene earlier in the end credits. I also really
liked the different news articles that show when the credits start in
Thunderbolts. The nature of this team is poked fun at a little bit.
