Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts*

So not good.

The majority of the reactions have been positive. These are from both fans and critics.

Are we allowed to say this movies bad on this thread? Or are only the Disney Apologists allowed to post?

Sure. But one looks ridiculous saying a movie is good or bad without ever having seen it. Is that what your goal is here?

Its like asking where Harry Potter World is at a Disney Park. You can say it, but you're going to get funny looks and look ridiculous for saying it.

So one opinion determines the quality of the movie…. Too bad we have not ever had a great movie in the history of film

Are their other reviews that were very positive? I haven't exactly looked for any reviews yet.

Yes….the person posted some of the positive reviews…. And then to balanced things out he posted the one mixed review

The actually review embargo doesn’t lift until next week, so all you will see right now is reactions on the various social media platforms. This is one reaction I saw last night:

Sure, but I know that there have been posts that we deleted for going off topic, mine included. We’re not all Disney apologists (I’ve been critical of some decisions, especially the additional MCU content that has been produced for Disney +) but I really want this movie to be well-received.

I remember what I saw. People were proven wrong already about Variety, Hollywood Reporter and Deadline (owned by the same company). They are obviously going to keep giving good reviews to bad rubbish like The Thunderbolts.

LOL My goodness some of you need a break from the internet

Sorry for veering off topic a moment but honest question for those that choose to do it, why keep engaging with the disingenuous posters? I understand the first few times, but once it is obvious?

Don't get me wrong, I get responding with a correction if someone tries to present a load of BS as fact for the benefit of future readers, but the rest?

for me it’s a reflex. When someone posts something that is obviously nonsense I often can’t help but respond. I am however fully aware that this only makes the issue worse and I am trying to work on this quirk of mine.

I know that I am guilty of this so I apologize to everyone reading this. I’ve tried to keep the thread on topic but it kept going off the rails, so I engaged with the poster. That doesn’t help anything so I am now using the blocking feature so I am not inclined to reply.

Same reason, to combat the BS for the benefit of future readers.

Off topic: if you feel like you are being attacked by other members, please report whoever is attacking you.

On topic: In one week, I will be seated in the theater watching this!

Sure, go see it first and then tell us your opinion.

 

[Prince-1]

Nope, they don't have any facts or corrections. The most they can do is just lie and gang up on someone. Time is on their side because they spend all day online defending Disney.

Ya might want to consider taking a small sanity break from here.

You're right. There are indeed lies. Like the one you just told.

 

[vikescaper]

While I believe they have built a great creative team and cast for this movie, there’s a more personal reason why I’m excited for Thunderbolts*. Going back to 2013, my sister and I have spent long weekends at WDW and we would see whatever the May Marvel release was. Some of the movies were good, some weren’t the best but we always had a good time! Last year, there wasn’t a May Marvel movie, so it seemed a bit off. Then, as 2024 progressed, we had two hurricanes, we dealt with an illness in the family, and then I had a co-worker tragically pass away. With all that has happened, I am quite exhausted and looking forward to a bit of normalcy next week.

I don't think they are disingenuous and I actually enjoy his or her posts. It's good to have different opinions. Even if you don't agree with it. On the opposite of the spectrum from him/her. There's some people that seem to love everything. Maybe you should be more open minded with message board topics.

There might be a lot of them then. Because a lot of the posters sound the same on here.
