Thunder Force Reviews

Apr 1, 2025

Entire movie felt like an inside joke that I wasn't a part of. Do people actually laugh at this stuff? Such a cool premise and such horrible delivery. Felt like the comedic timing or chemistry was off the entire time. Great cast though, and a few fun moments.

All characters are flat with no development and the plot almost makes little to no since and the comedy is awesome to be honest and the costumes are pretty cool but its not worth a watch and I would get tired of watching it easily and most of the movie is awkward and hard to watch but visually it's pretty good when it comes to the background and costumes and makeup

It's the worst movie I've seen in years, and I watched Zoolander 2 last week.

Very entertaining movie. Recently watched it a second time. Don't listen to the haters.

Boring, felt asleep and didn't have thr urge to rewind the parts I missed. Whenever I see Melissa and Octavia, I know it's going to be an amazing. But this one was a stink.

The main characters are my favs, so hard to not like this movie. I thought it was funny, and my wife agreed. I don't understand all the neg reviews.

It's one of the worst trash I've ever seen, this movie is a desperate attempt to make people laugh but it doesn't succeed, it's just embarrassing. And it has the most repellent and annoying and obnoxious and talkative protagonist that can exist. Imagine a person in front of you trying to make you laugh by making weird faces and fart sounds, that's what that movie is.

Loved it. Loved the story line and the humour. Great acting. Can't wait for thunder force 2 sequel.

Easy laughs, don't take it too seriously.

Released directly to Netflix, Thunder Force is a comedy starring Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer about two childhood friends who grow apart but later find themselves stuck together fighting supervillains after picking up superpowers themselves.  With superhero films and 온라인카지노추천 shows constantly battling it out both at the box-office and on streaming networks these days, more spoofs were imminent so Thunder Force certainly came at the right time. Another collaboration between Melissa McCarthy and director/husband Ben Falcone, the film definitely had potential considering the reliable cast and the fun premise. It opens with a genuinely charming new friendship developing between then high school girls Emily and Lydia, the former a smart, studious kid who is being bullied by other students and the latter, a straight-talking goofball who defends her against said bullies. We see their friendship blossom and then fall apart, which is bittersweet and frankly really well done: you feel for these characters and look forward to them reconciling in the future. Unfortunately, then the rest of the film happens.  We pick up the characters' story when they are much older as Lydia (Melissa McCarthy) attempts to convince Emily (Octavia Spencer) to attend a high school reunion. Emily now being a world-renowned scientist who has developed a way to give superpowers to people in order for them to fight back against the supervillains (aka Miscreants) who are terrorizing the world. Lydia's first meeting with Emily is, of course, a complete disaster and, long story short, she ends up accidentally adopting the powers that Emily had planned for herself. Already, the idea of a 50 year-old scientist planning to turn themselves into a superhero instead of using someone who is properly trained to face the real dangers ahead like a soldier, for example, is very hard to buy and, in fact, this flawed idea ruins the Emily character to the point where she feels completely out of place and Octavia Spencer comes off as miscast. This is a shame as a few minor changes to the script could've turned this mess into a clever Tony Stark parody. This is not the film's only misstep, obviously. Having Emily's power be invisibility might make sense for the character but the film visibly (no pun intended) felt bad not giving a great actress like Spencer screen time so whenever Emily becomes invisible the film makes her... visible but transparent which kinda defeats the point of that power in the first place. The writing is also all over the place here as Melissa McCarthy's improv often conflicts with the script itself (one second she found her T-shirt in the trash, the next she got it at a concert), Jason Bateman's crab-like villain and love interest is thoroughly underwritten, the jokes mostly go on for way too long and are hit-and-miss to say the least, Spencer and McCarthy don't really work off each other that well comedically and the plot is just ludicrous, and not always in a fun way. Admittedly, there are some amusing jokes here and there courtesy of the effortlessly funny McCarthy (the raw chicken bit is great) but Thunder Force sadly feels like a missed opportunity that manages to waste both its excellent cast and a superhero spoof premise with lots of potential. Watch Identity Thief or Spy instead.

It already looks bad, as if Fantastic 4 from 2015 clashed with Ghostbusters 2016 and Captain Marvel! THIS SUCKS

Aug 27, 2023

Formulaic superhero movie that's supposed to be funny. had some good bits and loved seeing mccarthy and bateman together again

Aug 7, 2023

Los villanos son olvidables los efectos son buenos las protagonistas son molestas y efectos son buenos es un 2.4 de 10

Jun 14, 2023

el primer acto no estuvo tan mal los efectos tampoco pero la es tonta y molesta las protagonistas son molestas y humor es malo y los villanos no son interesante y unas peores películas de superheroes es un 2.3 de 10

Honestly it's exactly what you'd expect from McCarthy, the team is so good at funny comedies like this. I actually had a few good laughs watching. A little too much hate for this, were people expecting marvel levels? It's supposed to be a silly superhero movie. There was character growth, a loose end to potentially give a sequel. Plus the chicken scene between McCarthy and Bateman had me cheering. My honest opinion, if you like the sillier McCarthy movies you'll like this.

Superheroes are rare, funny superheroes are evidently even rarer. Not good

May 22, 2023

A superhero movie by women, for women. And it shows. The movie, especially McCarthy, has its moments but also A LOT of cringe. Could be worse, but also could have been a lot better.

Feb 18, 2023

Painfull to watch, the worst part its that Melissa McCarthy characther is the worst, the jokes arent funny, and that is a 10 minute moment when she make references and jokes that are not funny and she try to explain the bad joke, which just make it worst. This is terrible man
