Critics Reviews Average Grade:   C+
Source Brief Review Grade*
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Bob Townsend
"...another movie that feeds the notion that Hollywood knows how to take the oddest and oldest of material and make it look spectacular -- even if the final product is as empty as a dummy's head." more... C+
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"...the reason Thunderbirds works as well as it does is because it doesn't much care that it's as square as a potholder." more... B  
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
"...a movie made for an audience that does not exist..." more... C  
Chicago Tribune
Allison Benedikt
"...better than a lot of PG stuff that attempts to reach both parents and their 8-year-old kids." more... B-
E! Online "...you'll get the feeling that you've stumbled into another Spy Kids film..." more... D  
Hollywood Reporter
Ray Bennett
"...may be the prettiest movie all year..." more... B  
New York Post
Megan Lehmann
"...cool-looking but creatively bankrupt..." more... C  
New York Times
Stephen Holden
"How you take Thunderbirds depends on your familiarity with the 60's British television puppet series on which it's based." more... C+
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
"...another example of the idiocy that often results when Hollywood attempts to convert an animated TV show into a non-animated movie." more... C  
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
"...a fun afternoon for preteen moviegoers that has just enough charm, humor and game- for-anything actors to keep parents halfway interested as well. " more... B+
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
William Arnold
"...harmless summer entertainment. But it's also instantly forgettable..." more... C+
