Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

estrellebelle No review sentence more damning then: this could have been great. Combining CGI characters with physical models was a bold and interesting move, and the result looks unique and charming. If the writing had been even half-decent, this would have been a modern classic. It took me a while to find out who perpetrated the crime that is this shows writing because the writers are listed at the very, very end of the credits, after the caterer. For the record, it was Patrick Rieger. If the script had been higher on the priority list, someone would have noticed how cringe-worthy the dialogue gets, and how illogical the plots are. Nothing wrong with the message that you can overcome everything through the power of friendship (even if it is not true), except when a show spells it out first and then proceeds to cram it down the audiences sore troath. The show has adapted the action, graphics and pace to modern standards , but the plot hand holding, jokes recurring till the end of time, and the overt wise lesson of the week, are worse then they were in the nineties. The show can not even claim to be educational because of the gaping plot holes, questionable morality, and misrepresentation of concepts like AI, Physics, Computers and Politics. Sad to see such beautiful imagery and love and dedication to visuals made unwatchable by a shoddy script.

terry thomas The new THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO is an excellent return. Yes International Rescue have morphed, no longer have strings and jockey around more than they used to. Yes on rare occasion the pacing and/or edits are a bit off. BUT more often than not the pacing is BANG ON! And the show has been getting better and better with each episode. Better, deeper characterisation, humanity, humour, wit and storytelling.Characters = Excellent. Vehicles = Awesome. Story Telling = Just gets better & better. Parker = All the original Magic and more Grey Ninja! Virgil = Gotta love the Lumberjack shirt! Grandma = Brilliant You Cookie! Production = Excellent and improving all the time.As an 'Avid Anderson' it is an enormous pleasure to see the THUNDERBIRDS are back with such vigour. In sometimes difficult, cynical, and depressing times, it is also great to see the ideas, outlook and invention of the 60's 'original' updated with such love, innovation and attention to detail. Rare, Brilliant, Classic Stuff!!!

Jeremy-608 I'm such a hard marker I'm annoying and I just gave this a 10. I actually cannot see any valid reason to give it less. Actually, maybe Grandma should bring it down a couple of points, but I'll stick to a 10 even with her. I grew up on the original (yes I'm that old) and was totally hooked as a kid. I'm still hooked (on the original) and force the re-runs on every child in the family as an important part of their basic education. The movie was a nice idea but the less said about that the better. *Because* of the movie, I had low expectations of this latest. Watched the first episode ... after 5 mins I was feeling disappointed. Modern language, no strings attached, blah blah. By 15 mins I was thinking "Damn if I don't think I might like this." By the end of the second episode it's all over ... I'm sold. This series is outstanding and I can't wait for each new ep. Sure the language is 'modernised' .. remember that they have to be all things to all people with this series; children of today won't sit through the dialogue that accompanied the original version, delivered by cgi characters. The balance they've achieved is stunning. The 'remake' eps (e.g. Fireflash) are just as exciting, maybe more so, as the originals. And as much as I might try to get kids to love the originals as much as I do, they .... don't. Times have changed. The kids do love this new series; they love the scripting, they love the action, they love the speed at which it moves, they love the fact that they don't really understand a lot of what just happened. They just love it. And so do I.

wgc-15558 I watched the original when I was a kid, I think they have captured the spirit of the original, sure it is updated no strings :) But the stories are really good they still have some of the look of the original, the ships and landscape, was glad I found this brings the kid out in me again. I love countdown scenes, and I see they kept the big eyes of the characters. I hope they keep the quality up and this ends up being a long run. I don't see how anyone that watched the original could not like the remake, I feel like I have stepped back in time kind of. I like the cast the voices seem to fit the characters they are playing it is just fun show to watch.
