The Thundermans Return

The Thundermans Return

This film serves as a continuation of the beloved Nickelodeon series, "The Thundermans," and is sure to delight fans of the show. While some flaws, particularly in the CGI department, may be apparent from a critical perspective, it's important to consider that these elements are likely less noticeable to the film's target audience.

The acting remains consistent with that of the series, also mirroring its plot structure, set design, and overall tone of the series. This faithful adaptation effectively evokes nostalgia for fans of the original show. Considering the current landscape of Nickelodeon series, a potential reboot sparked by this film would be a welcome development.

5.5/10.

The Thundermans Return is probably a nostalgia trip for most viewers, but for me it's just a movie as I've never seen any other Thundermans media. That being said I have seen other tv Disney/Nickelodeon movies like Z. O. M. B. I. E. S 1, 2 and 3 as well as Descendants 1 and 2 etc. All of which I really enjoyed.

The Thundermans Return doesn't seem to have the most interesting story, though I guess it is serviceable at least. It instead tries to relay on canned laughter and applause which is just really annoying to be honest. So for me personally the movie doesn't have any of the charm that Descendants or ZOMBIES does. Both of which have more interesting storylines to me at least and are not running a laugh track every 2 seconds.

The casting is by far the best part with the absolutely stunning Kira Kosarin playing Phoebe Thunderman. Jack Griffo plays her twin brother Max. The rest of the cast are not actors I'm familiar with and their characters are unfortunately rather lackluster though this could be due to having their character development in the tv show instead of any of it here in the movie.

The effects are just disappointing with worse Visual and Sound effects then you would find in Descendants 1 or ZOMBIES 1 both of which are much older movies. In fact you could definitely find better VFX done on youtube, to see this on an actual movie is just sad.

Overall I give the movie a 6/10. The storyline is boring and honestly is not worth mentioning. The casting is okay overall though none of the acting is any good, this could just be due to the poor story and lack of material for the actors though. I did enjoy Max and Phoebe's performances however. The VFX and SFX was just all around disappointing. I would have given the movie a 4/10 but Kira Kosarin is absolutely gorgeous and gets +2 stars just for being in the film.

I wouldn't recommend this film generally, unless you are a Thundermans fan and/or are coming from the TV Show. My review is rather critical but I am judging it purely on itself as I have not seen the TV Show or any other Thundermans media.

The performances delivered by the actors were commendable, but the computer-generated imagery (CGI) effects fell short of expectations in certain scenes. The pacing of the storyline was quite rapid, and it seemed like the antagonists were vanquished too effortlessly. The ending was left open-ended, hinting at a possible sequel in the future. Therefore, if you go in with moderate expectations, you might enjoy the movie, although there are a few overwhelming aspects, they do not necessarily detract from the overall experience. Also, I find a disappointing that they did not put this movie in theaters.

A goofy and entertaining film that brings back some of the most important superpowered characters of my childhood. A bittersweet return for the legendary and nostalgic Thundermans. A story we wanted but did not need. Yes, it is cringey and ridiculous and has horrible low-budget CGI but who cares. It is made for kids and they will probably love it . If you want a good movie then do not watch this. But if you want to watch something dumb or watched the show as a kid this will be good enough for you. It was fun watching the Thundermans return while having yet another crazy adventure for one more time.

I don't really get the negative reviews so far. People just want a reason to be mad and complain, and really can't seem to use the right words or spell them correct correctly. It really wasn't that bad, it was pretty good. It took me back. The CGI wasn't that bad either, and I'm not gonna write a bad review just based off of the CGI, it feels like the original show and I think that's what they were aiming for. The new suits looked incredible, and I loved the little cliffhanger at the end, maybe hinting at a new movie or possibly renewing the series ..? Haha.

I enjoyed the little plot twist, I love that they were able to bring back the original cast. It took me back, the lines, the acting the actors everything, means a lot to me brought back that little bit of innocence.

The sets were re-created perfectly, just how I remember. It was also very comical, It got some smiles, and some laughs out of me. It felt like I was watching the original series, maybe like a special two-part event, put together. It really is A feel good movie.

Overall really felt like the original series, the nostalgia was there, I remember I was so set on trying to get on the show when I was like nine, that's when I really got into acting so it took me back to that. All in all, with the way, it made me feel, the meaning it had to me, and still does, the actors, the writing, the sets I give it a 9/10 I do wish It could've been a little little bit longer, I didn't want it to end.. I also wanted to see what happened to Colosso's son... that's my review. I really enjoyed the movie, hopefully we get another series renewal or maybe just one more movie. Great job guys!
