The best marvel film in years

I won't say the MCU is back, but it's looking like it. This is a 2020s marvel movie-of course there's strong woman character. But that's the extent of the wokeness. Expertly written script that is surprisingly emotional and a killer villain provide this movie with everything it needed to shine. Highly recommend.

All Action, No Agenda

The movie we've been waiting for. Straightforward, action-packed film that proves Hollywood can still make entertainment without the cringe-worthy political messaging. This movie is a breath of fresh air because it avoids the wokeness and SJW nonsense that has plagued so many recent blockbusters.

The story focuses on a team of established anti-heroes, and it doesn't waste time on lectures or agendas. The characters, including the female members like Yelena and Ghost, are powerful for reasons that make sense within the story. Their strength comes directly from their superhuman abilities and brutal backstories, which is how it should be. There's no forced "girl power" moment; their capabilities are earned and justified by the narrative.

"Thunderbolts*" is a great movie that is absolutely worth watching. It delivers intense action, a compelling team of misfits, and a story that doesn't try to be anything more than awesome entertainment. It gives me hope that the studios have finally learned their lesson after losing money on all the woke crap. This is the kind of movie we need more of.
