Thunderbolts poised to flop

Anything to get that pig Florence Pugh off of screens.

This movie will do fine. Just wait and see.

Indistinguishable, undistinguished superhero "franchise" movies had some hot asses, but they couldn't last forever.

At least the musical genre enjoyed 40 years of popularity.

From the advent of sound in the late 1920s to the advent of New Hollywood in the late 1960s.

I hate seeing the stars of a new movie in a stupid commercial.....lately it's been Snow White, Captain America, and now Thunderbolts.

Florence Pugh was quite funny and charismatic as this character in Black Widow and in the Hawkeye series.

It's been getting good word of mouth from those who have seen it.

Especially the actress who plays Ghost.

Does DL hate new young actors just to hate them?

Tell us about public taste, OP.

[Quote] Florence Pugh was quite funny and charismatic as this character in Black Widow and in the Hawkeye series.

She’s very talented. And she seems like a genuinely sweet person.

A lot of the hate for her seems to derive from the fact that she’s not an off-the-shelf Hollywood cupcake.

This should have been on streaming platform.

R11 Oh it will.

I didn't like this the first time I saw it and it was called "Suicide Squad."

It's not like Thunderbolts is a popular or well known IP.

This movie actually has to be good. If it is good word of mouth will lead to better business. It is it is bad it will flop.

That’s so profound, r14

Apparently, it's a lot like, "Guardians of the Galaxy," which means it should do well, however unlike Guardians of the Galaxy the group is not well known.

What do you mean, r16? Do you mean this comic book group, or the actors?

R17 the comic.

Just got back from seeing it and really loved it. They were smart and focused less on action/explosions and more on the characters and how they interact with one another. Some real touching moments.

Much better than that Red Hulk crap I saw a few weeks back.

Sets up F4, too.

Honestly can’t believe people are STILL watching superhero movies. Jesus Christ give it a rest already.

[quote] however unlike Guardians of the Galaxy the group is not well known.

The Guardians of the Galaxy were not well known when the movie was made. They were a very much lesser Marvel superhero group.

I’m sick of Marvel movies.

The little blond is a very good actor

People are tired of Marvel, point blank, and they have been for years. They need to give the whole franchise a rest.

Superhero movies need to return to the successful formula of a male superhero saving a female character and the world.

Florence Pugh. Yes she is. I’m a fan.

[quote]The Guardians of the Galaxy were not well known when the movie was made. They were a very much lesser Marvel superhero group.

Let me clarify: Thunderbolts is a lot like the Guardians film franchise where it's about relationships and interactions while action happens on occasion.

However, they're not an established film franchise. They're basically Guardians 1 (2014) where as Guardians 3 (2023) did well because people already knew what it was.

One moment, I'll alert the media.

I love Bucky and I extra love Sebastian Stan. He has It and so does Florence.

The hubs and I are going to see it Saturday night in a real movie thee-ay-ter.

Yippee!

They were going to pull Sinners from IMAX early for this shit and have decided not to since Sinners is still doing big numbers.

Regarding [r-29] [myself]:edit : “ ….are going to see it…..” should have been “are going to see Thunderbolts”……

Sometimes I get a little overexcited when I post.

Everyone gets to shine in this....well, Taskmaster, not so much....

The critics liked it, as did the audience. 88% of all critics, 90+% of top critics. I generally ignore the audience scores because Marvel has often go review-bombed. I still take 95% audience with a grain of salt. But it looks good, the buzz is positive, and it's going to do well

Just got back from it. Pretty good overall. Flo Pugh carries the film almost completely. The action scenes are good, but the movie is mostly about the character interactions. Lewis Pullman is pretty much a carbon copy of his dad. The second post-credits scene was worth the wait.

I saw it a couple of days ago. I liked it. Florence was really good.

Flo was amazing. Always great to see Bucky. The sets were pretty.

Who the fuck cast that nepo baby Pullman? Was he supposed to be lovably goofy? Or goofily lovable? Were we supposed to be moved by his internal conflict (we weren’t ) or the fact that he and the Russell nepo baby both had enormous chins grafted on to their cute little baby faces; the idea being cute face + enormous long chin = mighty handsome young man?

BECAUSE IT DIDNT WORK. Young Pullman is very hard on the eyes, as is Wyatt Russell, and both in the same way. Dads’ facial features squished into the middle of their big faces with big ole chins stuck on the bottom.

What was the idea of Bob? In the dictionary under the word “cringe”, there’s a picture of….you guessed it…..B-o-b.

Why Bob? And why that actor? Someone tell me please or come over and slap me because I’m getting hysterical.

Bob seems to be a big hit with the public.

Well, I’ve been very very depressed lately so maybe that’s why I couldn’t appreciate his bewty.

I ‘ve seen him in interviews and he’s a good looking guy. His eyes are pretty- not like the beady slits I saw in the movie. That makes his face look more balanced and - yes - handsome.

I still think the way he played him was too dorky to be dorkily lovable.

I’ve heard it was OK-has anybody here actually seen it?

I wanna see it, but I can’t stand David Harbour. He gives me the creeps. Big time cheater.

I've worked with both Lewis and Wyatt and Lewis is a good guy- his parents raised him well. He doesn't take anything for granted and is an old soul- I was taken aback to find out how old he was- he was in his late 20's at the time. I'm happy to see a nepobaby like him work a lot.
