Thunderbolts* (2025)
88%
3.5/4.0
““Thunderbolts*” is remarkable in the MCU in that it is such an intimate story, relatively speaking. As such, it winds up being perhaps the most accessible and relatable of the Marvel adventures, one that hits home with understated power and poignancy.

2/4
“It’s fun watching Defoe and Watson strain to put this over, but “Ochi” is not the story of wonder Saxon intended. Though its condemnation of toxic masculinity and eco-positive theme are commendable, it lacks the confidence and artistry to pull it off.” –

“Needlessly complicated to the point of disinterest, “The Accountant 2” has nothing new to say or a point to make. It’s not a movie you watch so much as endure, an experience I’d rather not repeat any time soon but fear that I will.” –
