Thunder Force

If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free reviews, please follow my blog @ https://www.msbreviews.com Ben Falcone and Melissa McCarthy, husband and wife, have been making movies together since the former began his filmmaking career. Literally, every film directed, written, and/or produced by Falcone has the famous actress in the lead role, all exploring subgenres of comedy. From romance (Superintelligence) to crime (The Happytime Murders), without forgetting a road trip (Tammy), now comes the time for Thunder Force, a dive into the highly profitable superhero circle. However, I don't believe the couple's real goal is to deliver a globally liked movie. Actually, I firmly defend that their purpose is to provide the most nonsensical piece of storytelling possible, hoping that viewers find it e

This movie was scheduled to release in early 2020 but due to the pandemic it was pushed back a year and I think due to its late release, there was just a lack of attention to mastering its release. Although this was considered a comedy, they producers attempted to create a somewhat heartfelt storyline that was just a complete miss. The most confusing issue I had with this movie was its target audience. Most “jokes” were for mature adults but the slapstick vibe the movie portrayed was just messy. Unfortunately, it appeared both main actresses just gave about 50% of their effort. This movie lacked personality, an entertainment factor, and a good storyline.

This movie made me laugh at a time when I needed to laugh. Wgat’s wrong with that? I think a lot of viewers, and not just paid critics who have to watch everything, started watching Thunder Force knowing they would hate it. Then they watched a few minutes of it and quickly slapped a low rating on it. I don’t think it is a 10 star movie, or even close, but I rated it that way for the same reason some people gave it a 1: because I can - Nyah-Nyah. But seriously, I wanted to offered at least one of the throwaway one-star ratings. This is not a serious superhero movie; it is not a plot-driven, thoughtful satire. It is a zany romp, a rollicking slice of slapstick. It is replete with physical humor, which is Melissa McCarthy’s forte, our 21st century Lucille Ball channeling Harold Lloyd.

Let me say upfront that I am a 'Melissa McCarthy' fan, and that is probably because I enjoy her brand of humor. I expect there are some who would not agree with me but I am entitled to my opinion. Having said that, I was not disappointed with the storyboard for Thunder Force. The humor may have been geared to an older audience, but the combination of Octavia and Melissa was a good match. I found the 'woke' inserts about the two dads and the little girl, combined with the grandmother suggesting they would make a great couple to be offensive and unnecessary to tell this story. But that is Hollywood for you, take every opportunity to brainwash the audience. If you could get past those instances, Thunder Force was both entertaining and funny. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
