Thunderbolts had the potential to be great, but it ultimately falls short of being truly awesome. The anticipation surrounding a particular character is quickly shattered when they're given only 5 to 10 minutes of screen time before being abruptly killed off. It was a heartbreaking moment that left me stunned.

Valentina's plotline-centered around her desperate attempt to destroy incriminating evidence to avoid impeachment-felt underdeveloped, despite its high stakes. Yelena delivers a standout performance, commanding every scene she's in. Her interactions with U. S. Agent, Ghost, Taskmaster, Red Guardian, Bob, and Bucky set the stage for something huge.

However, tragedy strikes when one of these heroes is suddenly killed, and another shockingly turns into a powerful villain. Bob's mysterious past adds an eerie tension, ultimately leaving the team of anti-heroes vulnerable and lost.

But just when all hope seems gone, a stunning twist flips the story on its head-setting the stage for an explosive beginning to Phase 6 of the MCU. It's thrilling, yes, but the emotional highs are often undercut by a sense of missed opportunity.

I did not expect it to be a slow moving drama/ thriller. The trailer made it seem like it was an action film more than a musical drama. I think that was the twist. The expectations of what type of genre it was. Every character has his or her own style of personality. Twin brothers opening their own night club. Now I did not expect this movie to get so strange, the timeline of the early 30's and mixed in with the 90's. The music and soundtrack was pure perfection. All the characters were phenomenal. The twist and story were just as satisfying as it can be. Overall very enjoyable for a Ryan Coogler film.
