漫威电影宇宙（MCU）在经历了多个阶段的发展后，不断尝试突破与创新，而《雷霆特攻队》的出现无疑为其注入了一股新鲜血液。这部作为漫威第五阶段收官之作的影片，在 4 月 23 日英国首映后口碑爆棚，被众多媒体和观众誉为 “漫威第五阶段最佳作品”，甚至有人认为它是自《复仇者联盟 4》之后最令人惊喜的 MCU 电影。

《雷霆特攻队》不走寻常路，摒弃了传统超级英雄片的浮夸套路，将目光聚焦于一群 “问题英雄”。影片中的主角们并非完美无瑕的英雄，而是有着不堪过往和心理阴影的 “问题人物”，他们曾当过反派、犯过错，如叶莲娜、冬日战士等。电影毫不避讳地将他们的心理创伤、道德困境展现得淋漓尽致，这种 “反英雄” 的设定让角色更加真实，也更容易使观众产生共鸣。

电影的核心主题围绕着 “救赎” 展开，但并非简单的 “改邪归正”，而是让角色在一次次冲突中重新认识自我。例如，叶莲娜的自我怀疑、冬日战士的赎罪挣扎以及哨兵的精神分裂，都被刻画得极为细腻。这种对角色内心世界的深度挖掘，使观众能够代入这群 “问题英雄” 的内心世界，感受到他们的挣扎与成长，而不仅仅是观看一场打打杀杀的视觉盛宴。

演员们的精彩演绎无疑是《雷霆特攻队》的一大亮点。弗洛伦斯・皮尤饰演的叶莲娜几乎成为了全片的灵魂人物，她将角色的脆弱与强悍完美结合，其表演被影评人称赞为可能是漫威未来十年的新领袖。刘易斯・普尔曼饰演的哨兵同样令人惊艳，他将角色精神分裂的特质诠释得入木三分，让这个角色既危险又充满悲剧色彩，给观众带来了强烈的压迫感，同时又让人忍不住心生怜悯。塞巴斯蒂安・斯坦的冬日战士则贡献了全片最硬核的动作戏，尤其是近身格斗场景，让观众仿佛梦回《美国队长 2》。大卫・哈伯饰演的红色守卫者依旧是笑点担当，他的幽默表演为影片增添了许多轻松时刻，使电影在黑暗基调下保持了一定的平衡，不至于让观众感到过于压抑。

在动作戏方面，《雷霆特攻队》放弃了过度依赖 CGI 特效的做法，回归到实拍，力求呈现出更加真实、更具冲击力的动作场面。叶莲娜在吉隆坡双子塔的攀爬戏，由弗洛伦斯・皮尤亲自上阵实景拍摄，让观众看得手心冒汗。冬日战士和模仿大师的近战对决更是被誉为 “漫威近年最佳打戏”，每一招每一式都充满力量感，摒弃了花里胡哨的慢镜头，让观众切实感受到了拳拳到肉的刺激。影片在动作设计上的用心，不仅提升了观众的观影体验，也为超级英雄电影的动作戏树立了新的标杆。

片尾的两个彩蛋成为了观众热议的话题。尤其是第二个彩蛋，被不少观众称为 “漫威十年来最让人激动的彩蛋”。虽然彩蛋的具体内容目前仍处于保密状态，但已有消息透露，其可能与《复仇者联盟：毁灭日》以及《神奇四侠》有关，甚至可能暗示着毁灭博士的登场。这无疑为 MCU 的未来发展埋下了重要伏笔，引发了观众对后续作品的强烈期待。

尽管《雷霆特攻队》收获了众多赞誉，但也并非完美无缺。部分观众和影评人认为，影片在剧情推进与人物塑造上，部分情节略显条理不清，在试图展现众多角色复杂的背景和情感时，节奏把控上稍显混乱，导致一些故事线的展开不够充分。此外，对于选择非香港演员主演香港故事的争议，在《雷霆特攻队》中虽不存在，但关于超级英雄电影中角色国籍与故事背景适配性的讨论，也延伸到了这部影片中，有观众认为特定的故事背景下，角色的设定应该更加贴合地域特色。

After going through multiple stages of development, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has been constantly attempting to break through and innovate. The emergence of Thunderbolts undoubtedly injects a fresh dose of vitality into it. As the concluding work of Phase Five of the MCU, this film received an overwhelming positive response after its premiere in the UK on April 23. It has been hailed as the "best work of Phase Five of the MCU" by numerous media and audiences, and some even consider it the most surprising MCU film since Avengers: Endgame.

Thunderbolts takes an unconventional approach, discarding the flamboyant clichés of traditional superhero films and focusing on a group of "problematic heroes". The protagonists in the film are not flawless heroes but "problematic characters" with a troubled past and psychological shadows. They have been villains and made mistakes, such as Yelena and the Winter Soldier. The film spares no effort in vividly presenting their psychological traumas and moral dilemmas. This "anti-hero" setting makes the characters more realistic and makes it easier for the audience to empathize with them.

The core theme of the film revolves around "redemption", but it is not simply about "turning over a new leaf". Instead, it allows the characters to rediscover themselves through repeated conflicts. For example, Yelena's self-doubt, the Winter Soldier's struggle for atonement, and the Sentry's schizophrenia are all portrayed in great detail. This in-depth exploration of the characters' inner worlds enables the audience to step into the shoes of these "problematic heroes" and feel their struggles and growth, rather than just watching a mindless action-packed visual spectacle.

The excellent performances of the actors are undoubtedly a highlight of Thunderbolts. Florence Pugh, who plays Yelena, almost becomes the soul of the whole film. She perfectly combines the vulnerability and strength of the character, and her performance has been praised by film critics as potentially the new leader of the MCU in the next decade. Lewis Pullman's portrayal of the Sentry is equally astonishing. He interprets the character's schizophrenic traits incisively and vividly, making the character both dangerous and tragic, bringing a strong sense of oppression to the audience while also evoking their pity. Sebastian Stan's Winter Soldier contributes the most hardcore action scenes in the film, especially the close combat scenes, which make the audience feel as if they have been transported back to Captain America: The Winter Soldier. David Harbour's Red Guardian remains the source of laughter. His humorous performance adds many lighthearted moments to the film, maintaining a certain balance in the film's dark tone and preventing the audience from feeling overly depressed.

In terms of action scenes, Thunderbolts abandons the excessive reliance on CGI special effects and returns to live-action shooting, striving to present more realistic and impactful action sequences. The scene of Yelena climbing the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur was shot on location with Florence Pugh herself taking on the role, making the audience's palms sweat with excitement. The close combat between the Winter Soldier and the Taskmaster is even hailed as the "best fight scene in the MCU in recent years". Every move is full of power, and the film abandons the flashy slow-motion shots, allowing the audience to truly feel the thrill of each punch connecting. The film's attention to detail in action design not only enhances the audience's viewing experience but also sets a new benchmark for action scenes in superhero movies.

The two Easter eggs at the end of the film have become a hot topic among the audience. In particular, the second Easter egg has been called by many viewers the "most exciting Easter egg in the MCU in the past decade". Although the specific content of the Easter eggs is still under wraps, there are already rumors suggesting that it may be related to Avengers: Secret Wars and Fantastic Four, and it may even hint at the appearance of Doctor Doom. This undoubtedly lays an important foundation for the future development of the MCU and has triggered strong anticipation among the audience for subsequent works.

Despite receiving a great deal of praise, Thunderbolts is not without its flaws. Some audiences and film critics believe that in terms of plot advancement and character building, some parts of the film seem a bit disorganized. When trying to showcase the complex backgrounds and emotions of numerous characters, the rhythm control is slightly chaotic, resulting in some storylines not being fully developed. In addition, although the controversy about choosing non-Hong Kong actors to star in a Hong Kong story does not exist in Thunderbolts, the discussion about the suitability of the character's nationality and the story background in superhero movies has also extended to this film. Some audiences believe that under a specific story background, the character settings should be more in line with the regional characteristics.

Overall, Thunderbolts is a successful superhero film. With its unique anti-hero narrative, outstanding performances by the actors, wonderful action scenes, and suspenseful Easter eggs, it has drawn a perfect conclusion to Phase Five of the MCU. It not only brings an audio-visual feast to the audience but also prompts in-depth thinking about themes such as heroism, redemption, and human nature. Despite its some shortcomings, its innovation and breakthroughs within the Marvel Cinematic Universe are worthy of recognition, and it makes us look forward to future works of Marvel with great anticipation.
