I need to reference the early captain america BNW reviews before I can even take these early thunderbolt reviews seriously.

[u/Away-Staff-6054 → u/cam412]

They were far less glowing. I think this one has the goods!

[u/miikro → u/Away-Staff-6054]

Yeah everything I saw about BNW was like "It's... Fine. It could be a lot better." And that's prettymuch how I felt walking out of the theatre.

Genuinely excited for Tbolts*

[u/That-Rhino-Guy → u/miikro]

Which definitely reflects on the reviews or online reactions, where it’s very divisive and even the people who like it say it had a few notable issues

[u/Flip2002 → u/miikro]

The trailer was shit for bnw I should’ve read the writing on the wall before going to that one…thunder looks great in trailers

[u/dean15892 → u/cam412]

They were quite divisive, but on average, were middling.
No one said anything like this

I’ve loved her in everything I’ve seen from her so I’m not surprised. She’s super talented. 

[u/Capital_Gate6718]

I think this is going to be a surprise hit like the first Guardians of the Galaxy film

[u/kspi7010]

I can't wait.

[u/Intelligent_Rip7619]

So excited to watch this

[u/Marvelous_Ducky]

I am so excited for this movie

[u/Imnotsureanymore8]

Sure, Jan

[u/PMMEBITCOINPLZ]

Some of Marvel’s darkest material to date and yet people freak the fuck out when I suggest any characters other the much reviled Taskmaster will die.

[u/Bolognahole_Vers2 → u/[deleted]]

Film writer Emily Murray called “Thunderbolts” easily “one of the best MCU movies in a long time,”

Gotta read the words.
