I understand this is a Nickelodeon project, but the whole "Young-Old" is getting... old. All the "Okay, Boomer" and "You don't know what a landline is!" is getting annoying, especially with the failed attempts with modern slang. I'm not going to scrutinize them over all of it, but it did feel forced.
This movie also threw away a lot of things that I was excited to see. This movie is obviously set a couple of years after the end of the series, but I honestly didn't expect for things to be forgotten or thrown away like Max not having a super name, Chloe still being Thunderbaby, and not getting a new name by the end, or the twin power thing. I wanted to see them use their twin power more, but it was just a one and done, and it was really underplayed. Firing them from the T-Force really sucked. I understand it was to just bring them back to Hiddenville, it would've been nice to see them in the T-Force a little longer than 15 minutes. I wanted to see them tackle something a lot bigger and scarier, and while the children of the heroes were a good idea, they felt really weak. Also, nerfing Chloe was a really dumb decision. "I need 1 minute for my power to recharge!". Adding or removing things for plot convenience isn't good from a writing standpoint.
The movie was too short for what's it worth. It's the Thundermans! They deserve more than an hour and ten minutes plus commercial time. That time limit didn't help with plot progression as a lot of it was just "Oh, okay, that happened."
Also, Max would not forget Colosso for a couple of years. Colosso is his best friend, they've had so much progression throughout the series showing this.
Overall, it wasn't terrible for a Nickelodeon project, but it could've been a lot better. I mean, just look the Thundermans in Paradise, the Z-Force arc, or the Henry Danger finale projects. At the end of the movie, they hinted at a sequel. I am looking forward to seeing where it goes.
