John Humphrey & Roxy Striar share their out-of-theater review after attending the IMAX screening of Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts! We dive into the emotional character journeys, fresh team dynamics, Florence Pugh's standout performance as Yelena Belova (Black Widow, Midsommar), Wyatt Russell as U.S. Agent (Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Overlord), Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier (Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Pam & Tommy), David Harbour as Red Guardian (Stranger Things, Black Widow), Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost (Ant-Man and the Wasp), Lewis Pullman as Sentry (Top Gun: Maverick, Bad Times at the El Royale), and Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Veep, Seinfeld). We talk about the refreshing ensemble chemistry, the Winter Soldier tone, character arcs, standout hand-to-hand action, the surprising emotional depth, Son Lux’s incredible score (Everything Everywhere All at Once), and how Thunderbolts successfully balances humor, sadness, and thrilling combat. We also cover how the movie breaks away from Suicide Squad comparisons and carves out its own space in the MCU, discussing the thoughtful story beats and how it fits into the larger Marvel narrative. We had Deadpool & Wolverine, Agatha All Along, Daredevil Born Again, & Captain America Brave New World --upcomng is Eyes of Wakanda, Spider-Man 4, Ironheart, Blade, Fantastic Four, Avengers: Doomsday, Avengers Secret Wars, Wonder Man, Vision, & MORE! #Thunderbolts #Marvel #MCU #MarvelStudios #ThunderboltsReaction #FlorencePugh #SebastianStan #DavidHarbour #JuliaLouisDreyfus #LewisPullman #Marvel #MarvelReaction #MCUMovies #YelenaBelova #WinterSoldier #USAgent #Ghost #RedGuardian #ThunderboltsReview #MovieReview #MarvelThunderbolts #Phase5 #Phase6 #MarvelPhase5 #MarvelPhase6 #FantasticFour #DeadpoolAndWolverine #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld Big Hero 6 Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/YGJSizo9MJ4 Sinners Out Of Theater Reaction: https://youtu.be/Z11QJV2JMvc Daredevil Born Again Episode 9 Reaction: https://youtu.be/waSqMX3IN9g Captain America Brave New World Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/mueDPaEP4kM Thunderbolts REACTIONS, Sinners SCREWS Media, The Last Of Us RISKS It All: https://youtu.be/UDRLHOYgB7o Follow Roxy Striar: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWhirlGirls Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/roxystriar/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/roxystriar 0:00 Thunderbolts Out Of Theater Reaction 0:41 Thunderbolts Review 2:55 Florence Pugh 3:25 Ensemble 3:43 Sebastian Stan 3:58 War Thunder 5:10 Lewis Pullman 6:28 julia louis-dreyfus 7:05 Story and Themes 8:28 Team Dynamics and Comparisons 9:21 Music and Score 9:59 Creative Vision and Direction 10:36 Emotional Impact and Rewatchability 11:27 Action and Humor 11:59 Visual Imagination and Conclusion Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Aparrel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Head Editor: https://www.instagram.com/praperhq/?hl=en Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG Ask Us A QUESTION On CAMEO: https://www.cameo.com/thereelrejects PLAYLISTS: Trailer Reactions & Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9ZsLdoAQFpx38s2hhyFgDe Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Movie Talk (News, Spoiler Reviews, & Film Rumors!!!): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw8fPQ-21NVSb2IOwIiHbVt8 Youtube Video Reactions & Discussions: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_qwcPsN_vOxXC6IVzrOQYG

Beyond Greg and John I think John and Roxy have one of the best chemistry no matter what they do together

I worked on a short film called The Tudor Lewis Pullman was in. I think it was one of the first roles he did. And I knew from the few days I was there, hes not just a "nepo" kid. Hes got talent. Loads of it. And he will be a star one day.

I saw this on opening day in the UK today and it’s incredible! It hit me on a deeper level than a Marvel movie usually does. Tears were shed. The cinematography is stunning, the writing is stunning, I LOVE the ensemble as a team. The comedy hit just right, and balanced the darker stuff brilliantly. This may end up being one of my all time favourite MCU movies. And kudos to the writers for understanding if you are lucky enough to have Florence Pugh in your movie, make her the anchor of the film. She’s the best actor in almost everything she does! Oh, and Lewis Pullman! Wow wow wow! What a performance!

This was a great film, the chemistry between the cast was great with Pugh and Lewis being the standouts. You really care about these characters and root for this team. I’m excited for this new team of AvengerZ

I came into this kind of not super excited for it. I like Yelena, I like Bucky, I like John Walker, but I wasnt totally sold on the overall idea. The trailer didnt wow me. But, I had more than a couple people ask "are you going to see Thunderbolts when it comes out" & I was on the fence about it. Whatever got a hold of me tonight, I decided to go see it. It delivered. I DO NOT THINK it is a movie everyone should go see alone. There are some emotional topics that some might struggle with, so maybe go with a friend, or go in with as much of a grasp of what you might get yourself into. But they do an excellent job navigating these topics. They do a great job overall. Yelena & Bobs relationship is now 1 of my favorite things in any MCU project. Glad I decided to go see it. I too will probably go see a 2nd viewing of it, and I wasnt even sure I was going to see it once not that long ago.
