Title: THUNDERBIRDS Lacks Wings
Review: Anthony Edwards should have stuck with ER. Although this film is directed toward families, THUNDERBIRDS never seems to get off the ground. Bill Paxton finds himself trapped in space once again, and it's up to his son and two other kids to not just rescue him and his other sons, but to prevent a madman (Ben Kingsley) from robbing banks. The graphics are extremely well done, but the acting is ghastly and the storyline just isn't exciting enough. Although all of the kids and most of the parents declared their satisfaction after the movie ended, I failed to hear the usual banter among the kids on what their favorite scenes were. I got the feeling that they were happy that they got to go to the movie, but they won't be asking for the DVD for Christmas. If you are a parent and are hoping to find a movie that will stimulate both you and your kids, stick with the SPIDER-MAN and SHREK sequels. Leave THUNDERBIRDS at the docking bay.
