Great piece and surprising rating, Ryan! I like how you pointed out the character forward lens of this film as opposed to others in the franchise. Though I probably won't venture out to go see it (need to prioritize Sinners IMAX first and already got my Marvel fill with brave New World in theaters) your writing really brought me into the storyline and very thoughtfully so. Nicely done.
Any other films you are looking forward to this month?
Appreciate you, David! Thank you. But in all honesty?
The rating surprised me too.
I didn’t particularly enjoy Brave New World either and probably as a byproduct, I didn’t have any serious expectations for Thunderbolts as a result - but yeah, it landed and landed well. MCU movies are typically one-and-dones, even the ones I enjoy but I wouldn’t be adverse to revisiting this one. Pretty high praise then, I suppose.
Sinners is on my list as well! My local cinema hasn’t really had regular showings, which is frustrating, but I’m hoping to catch it soon.
Otherwise, The Phoenician Scheme is probably my next-up, for this month, before we break out into a busy June.
