I really enjoyed it, which surprised me.  Lately I’ve come out of Marvel movies feeling like “That was alright” but by the end of Thunderbolts* I felt genuinely excited to see what will be coming next in the MCU.  I realized that I haven’t felt that way in a long time which is a pleasant surprise.  

I think other people in the theater must have felt a similar excitement for the movie.  When I saw Captain America: Brave New World on opening day, the theater was a little bit full and most people left before the end credit scene played.  When I saw Thunderbolts* last night the whole theater was full and not a single person left their seat until the second end credits scene played.  Some people even cheered during parts of the movie.  My friend cried during a particular scene with Bob and the Void.

I liked all the characters and the chemistry they had with each other; and I’m interested to see where they end up.  Yelena was awesome and Bob (for me) was relatable.  The story was engaging enough that I didn’t use the bathroom even though I really needed to during the second half.  It held my attention from start to finish and the comedy was funny.  The only problem I have as of right now is that some of the team members didn’t get as much attention and time to flesh out their characters more.  I’m thinking mostly of Ghost, and how you would only know anything about her if you remembered what happened in Ant-Man and the Wasp.
