The over-exploited superhero genre is no longer just about the good guys. Anti-heroes — flawed, fierce, and unpredictable — have taken centre stage. Marvel Studios’ superhero venture, interestingly titled Thunderbolts*, has arrived in theatres. Many critics’ reviews are already out for the eagerly anticipated film. In case you are curious to know how Thunderbolts* compares with DC’s rather similarly themed anti-hero movie ‘The Suicide Squad’ (the 2021 one), then you have come to the right place. Both films have received excellent feedback from critics, but which one has a better Rotten Tomatoes score? Let’s find out.
Thunderbolts* & The Suicide Squad: Rotten Tomatoes Scores
The final film of MCU Phase-5, Thunderbolts*, is Certified Fresh and has a very good critics’ score of 88% on reviews aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 151 reviews so far. On the other hand, the 2021 DCEU film The Suicide Squad is Certified Fresh and received a marginally higher Rotten Tomatoes score of 90%. So, The Suicide Squad is currently leading on Rotten Tomatoes as far as critics’ score is concerned. It will be interesting to see whether Thunderbolts* can catch up and cover that 1% difference soon. It’s a close fight.
Thunderbolts* Plot & Cast
Directed by Jake Schreier, the film revolves around a group of misfit anti-heroes who find themselves in a death trap masterminded by Valentina Allegra.
