This movie made me laugh at a time when I needed to laugh.

I think a lot of viewers, and not just paid critics who have to watch everything, started watching Thunder Force knowing they would hate it, watched a few minutes of it, and then slapped the lowest available rating on it. I don’t think it is a 10 star movie, or even close, but I rated it that way for the same reason some people gave it a 1: because I can - Nyah-Nyah.

This is not a serious superhero movie; it is not a plot-driven, thoughtful satire. It is a zany romp, a rollicking slice of slapstick. It is replete with physical humor, which is Melissa McCarthy’s forte, our 21st century Lucille Ball channeling Harold Lloyd.

For the predominantly young men who totally trashed this, superheroing is serious business. Well, Marvel, DC universes, welcome to the Comedy Universe. We are sorry this film offends you, as we were regretful that My Spy offended the Bond fan - or maybe we aren’t sorry.

I just watched the preview again and laughed where I laughed the first time.

Life can be grim. Hmm, I assume this is still on Netflix?
