What to Know

Critics Consensus

It's got a few chuckles, but Thunder Force is largely a superhero comedy that's neither exciting nor funny -- and an egregious waste of its co-stars' talents.

Audience Says

With a boring story and a low laugh-to-joke ratio, Thunder Force is likely to leave you wishing you'd watched any of the talented cast members' numerous better films.

Raphael Abraham Financial Times McCarthy here is tasked with fighting off a band of cosmically enhanced criminals wreaking havoc on Chicago, but the bigger challenge is how to wring any comedy from Falcone's supernaturally unfunny script. Rated: 1/5 Apr 14, 2021 Full Review Christy Lemire FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) Why does Melissa McCarthy keep making movies with her husband?... I love my husband and would enjoy working with him, but I'm not going to make terrible movies just to make that happen. Apr 13, 2021 Full Review Tasha Robinson Polygon Thunder Force might help illustrate why there are so few pure superhero comedy movies... It's almost as if being a superhero is hard, but being funny is much harder. Apr 12, 2021 Full Review Rebecca Johnson Film Focus Online Thunder Force is first and foremost a comedy, with some action thrown in there in attempt to raise the stakes. Unfortunately, the movie doesn't quite deliver in either genre. Rated: 1/5 Aug 6, 2023 Full Review Manuel São Bento MSB Reviews Thunder Force is yet another piece of pointless, absurd storytelling from Ben Falcone, featuring unbearably dry, forced humor, besides a forgettable story. Rated: D Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Nicolas Soto But Why Tho? A Geek Community Thunder Force failed to deliver in comedy and development of its main characters but delivered great world-building elements. Rated: 6/10 Jan 21, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Nicholas W Very entertaining movie. Recently watched it a second time. Don't listen to the haters. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review Slezz U 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/30/24 Full Review David A 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Stephen D How does this have a rating above 10%? How? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/15/24 Full Review Aiden M Great movie with alot of funny scenes! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review Mordo D 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews
