"Thunderbirds Are Go!" Amazon Prime Original

What is this abomination? The fun on Thunderbirds IS they are puppets. That's why the live action picture failed. Just No.

Although during the "Oceans 11" series I thought a live action movie with Clooney, Damon, Pitt as the boys and Burt Reynolds as the Father with Julia Roberts as Lady Penelope would have gotten the goofiness of it all and made a fun movie.

Never was a Thunderbirds fan so much but watching the CGI clip, this new version strips the show of ALL its charm..

They made the same mistake with the reboot of Captain Scarlet and much moreso with Thomas the Tank. They just won't let the little kids use their imaginations as they enjoy the shows as they could the older versions.

OP, this project is not about being fun for you. It's about all the related merchandising opportunities that will extend for decades into the future, should this film be a hit. (And no bitchy actors to placate!)

Not a film, it's a series on Amazon.

Takes me back to lazy Saturday mornings of my wasted adolescence, where I whiled away hours carelessly masturbating to Charlie Simpson’s pouty puffy lips whenever this stupid music video came on.

They’ve turned glam Lady Penelope into a Barbie doll. Unforgivable.
