Growing up and even now the Thundermens were my favourite show. I loved the story's, the characters, and the messages. With that being said I had really high expectations coming into this reboot and I was a little disappointed.
Let's start with the cgi. I feel like going back to 2013 the cgi was good for the time and technology we had then and was expecting it to be MUCH better and more realistic for 2024 but I feel that they just threw it together and edited it in a day. Not to rag on the tech team who deserves so much credit from many movies but I do feel as how they displayed the cgi of the powers and some of the other things was not up to par.
Now onto the story line. I enjoyed the story but with some things they added like the plant that gives you super powers and giving super powers to supporting characters I did not like. Yes it made it inclusive it was a very unnecessary touch added to the story line. I liked how Billy and Nora got to go to high school especially the same high school as Phoebe and Max. I just wish that they didn't use there powers in the school. I loved how Chloe grew into her character and wasn't the "baby" anymore. Hank and Barbs characters didn't change much but I liked the sense of normalcy to that.
To wrap things up the movie was very mid. I really hope that they can bring the show back but fix the cgi and take away the extra powers.
