Review: Thunder Force – Surprisingly Funny But Predictable Marc Platt Productions By Sam Pegg on 50 Passable There's not much going for Ben Falcone's latest partnership with Melissa McCarthy does have going for it helps it moderately so. 5 I don’t expect much from the Ben Falcone and Melissa McCarthy partnership anymore and perhaps that’s one of the reasons Thunder Force was a pleasant surprise. By no means is this a good movie, but I can’t deny it’s not fun either. While following a predictable romp of the superhero subgenre, the Octavia Spencer and McCarthy partnership occasionally provides cracking jokes and funny action sequences, but everything else is subpar. Nonetheless, it produced laughs, even if they weren’t as hearty or loud as other McCarthy projects, and proved to be a respectable way to use up a Saturday evening.
