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. ....
Movies with Mary: Thunder Force is one to be reckoned with Mary Cox The Telegraph FacebookTwitterEmail 2of3 This image released by Netflix shows Melissa McCarthy, left, and Octavia Spencer in a scene from the comedy “Thunder Force.” Show MoreShow Less 3of3 “Thunder Force” has two of my favorite actresses, two-time Academy Award nominee Melissa McCarthy and Academy Award winner Octavia Spencer. I have been a McCarthy fan since she was the lovable Sookie St. James on “Gilmore Girls.” I think Octavia Spencer is one of the best actresses working today. I have been a fan since “The Help.” To see them work together is something I have been looking forward to. ....
Melissa McCarthy: Lack of rules makes superhero genre appealing 2 minutes read By David Villafranca Los Angeles, Apr 8 (efe-epa).- No rules but lots of heart. That’s what Melissa McCarthy, co-star of the new Netflix film “Thunder Force,” was looking for in her foray into the superhero genre. “I love the genre. I love anything that’s like, ‘there’s no rules,’ because you can make up your own rules,” McCarthy told Efe. A two-time Oscar nominee (one in the best-supporting actress category for her role in the 2011 comedy “Bridesmaids” and another in the best-actress category for her performance in the 2018 biopic “Can You Ever Forgive Me?”), McCarthy is regarded as one of the leading American comedic actresses. ....
When Thunder Force s trailer first debuted, it seemed like fans of the impeccably talented Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer held a collective breath – the trailer was, for lack of a kinder phrase, not great. McCarthy has a history of making off-beat, and sometimes unfunny, comedies with her husband Ben Falcone, and many feared Thunder Force would be another to add to the list. Well, we re here to tell you, with a huge sigh of relief, that is not the case. Thunder Force takes place in a world where a pulse of interstellar cosmic rays has activated superpowers but only in people who are predisposed to be sociopaths, and so the world is terrorised by these supervillains, called Miscreants. ....

OffOn Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer star. • 5 min read Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer talk about their new film, ‘Thunder Force’ The actresses play best friends in the film that form an unlikely crime-fighting superhero duo. Hopper Stone/Netflix Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer can read a computer manual and be hilarious. Equally adept at comedy and drama, with Oscar nominations to prove it, this dynamic duo can do anything, right? Incredibly incorrect. “Thunder Force,” the superhero comic fantasy debuting this week on Netflix, defeats them at every turn. It’s actually painful watching these mighty talents strain to find laughs in this comedy dead zone. ....
