O Retorno dos Thundermans

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.

It's a fun family movie that has the flavor of the show with bad CGI that is below average when it could have been better. It has a nostalgic feel for fans of the show, but it looks rather simple. As for the acting, Max and Phoebe save the day. Colosso scenes are very entertaining and should definitely have been seen more on screen. Ms. Wong is quite funny and contributes to the laughs. Don't expect character development or a good plot. This is a production that will only please the followers of the series. A better script, effects etc. Could have made the movie a bit more interesting. Suitable for those who want to have a good time with their family and have some laughs.

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.

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.
