'THUNDERBOLTS*' Screening & Review

CinemaBums attends an early screening of ‘THUNDERBOLTS*'

'THUNDERBOLTS*' delivers in every possible way. The story is one of the most unique and grounded entries into the MCU so far with Florence Pugh as the standout of an incredible cast.

Be sure to stay for both post-credit scenes!

The film is a thrilling, character-driven triumph that electrifies the final installment of Marvel’s Phase Five with gritty intensity and heart. Jake Schreier masterfully balances hard-hitting action with raw emotional depth, weaving a tale of flawed antiheroes forced to confront their demons in a web of betrayal and redemption. Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova steals the show with fierce charisma and vulnerability, while Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes grounds the chaos with a fan favorite presence. The ensemble—David Harbour’s lovably bombastic Red Guardian, Hannah John-Kamen’s enigmatic Ghost, Olga Kurylenko’s lethal Taskmaster, Wyatt Russell’s conflicted John Walker, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s deliciously cunning Valentina Allegra de Fontaine—delivers dynamic chemistry, each character shining in moments of humor, heartbreak, and heroism. The plot’s twists keep you guessing, and the cinematography pulses with a dark, stylish edge. Thunderbolts is a bold, refreshing MCU entry that proves there’s power in imperfection, leaving you eager for more.

In theaters May 2nd.
