NETFLIX’S THUNDER FORCE

The big new original movie on Netflix is Thunder Force, a superhero comedy featuring Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer. The pair star as two old friends who accidentally give themselves superpowers, leading them to decide to suit up and protect their home city of Chicago from the supervillains that rule it.

Unsurprisingly the film is sitting high on the Netflix viewer rankings. It has all the things you’d want to see in a superhero movie, right? However, just because many folks are viewing it, that doesn’t mean they love it. Thunder Force is being roasted on social media, as Netflix users are labelling it as “terrible,” “bad,” or, in some cases, one of the “worst movies ever.”
Rotten Tomatoes score shows Thunder Force with a 25 percent favourable rating among critics. As the critics’ consensus sums up: “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.”
