Thunderbirds

Pros: Story okay for kids, humour brilliant for adults.
Cons: Okay so the plot's weak.. .but who cares?!?!?

I went to see Thunderbirds without very high expectations – it looked like a cheesy kids adventure with no real surprises in store. Still, I was interested to see what they did with the concept of Gerry Anderson’s vintage puppet show. ...

Pros: fun, pieces together a lot of predictable elements well, rescue sequences
Cons: Bill Paxton wooden, nothing original, some inconsistencies

Part James Bond, part The Avengers, part Spy Kids, and part Jonny Quest with a dash of Batman thrown in for fun, Thunderbirds has very few original ideas. It's an amalgamation of the best elements of traditional ...

Pros: Solid film for the whole family.
Cons: Not for die hard fans of the original but let it drop eh?

I’ve watched kids who rent videos and who go to theaters to watch movies. Most are entertained with the simplest of stories, finding more enchantment in the special effects that are offered as opposed to the deep storylines or high level of acting ...

Pros: Great new-look to the vehicles. Believable 2010 representation.
Cons: Lacklustre plot, but what do you expect. It's Thunderbirds for Heaven's sake.

I'm a big fan of the original TV series, but I'm also open-minded enough to go and see the new movie. And you should be too. So it's not the original series. So what. If it replicated Gerry Anderson's classic, then why not just re-run one of the old ...

Pros: Fun for Thunderbirds fans, Good Effects, Great things from the old TV show
Cons: Aimed towards kids, plot could be better, goofy sound effects once and a while

Note: this review WILL give away most key things in the movie, so if you did not yet see the film please be advised that I will blurt out something that will spoil it for you. I will basically tell you the whole plot to help you understand the movie and ...

Pros: Nostalgia factor for sci-fi fans, fun action sequence, Lady Penelope!
Cons: Pedestrian direction, so-so FX

Growing up in Canada, we had a unique mix of British and American television programming. One of my favorite childhood shows was ‘The Thunderbirds”, a British action/sci-fi adventure series that was unusual as all the characters were marionette ...

Pros: Thunderbirds!!!
Cons: pedantic science fans will tear the story to shreds

Where to start? First up and most importantly, I liked it. Not in a "must see it every day until it closes" type of way but an appreciation that will lead me to owning it when it becomes available. I may even see it again if the occasion arises. I ...

Pros: Fun, easy to follow for the children
Cons: Ford

I went to see the movie this past Tuesday with my family and we all enjoyed it. I have a four year old and an eight year old. My four year old has been talking about this movie for over a month, I have no idea how he heard about it since we have ...
