Verdict: Filmed in a zany, colourful style reminiscent of the 'Spy Kids' movies, 'Thunderbirds' is enjoyable fun ... until earnest lines of dialog bring everything to a shrieking stop! A pretty entertaining, extremely good-looking cinematic blip, this is another example of the idiocy that often results when Hollywood attempts to convert an animated TV show into a non-animated movie. OK, let's put this another way, shall we ... 'Thunderbids' is visually impressive, but largely a lifeless, limp noodle that strips the details that made the 1960s TV series work and features a bland coming-of-age story and a by-the-numbers revenge plot. Get the picture?!
