When two ladies of age who have known each other since school meet after a long time, it means that they will become even better friends who have common themes, or the latter.
In this film, the latter happens. The "nerd" and the "construction manager" on the job have nothing to say to each other, but only because there have been evil "mutants" (I can't remember her real name, such a dumb…) running around Chicago since 1983 does the "nerd" make a bad decision. They both become „Superwomen“, this time good and fighting evil.
A new movie on Netflix starring Melissa McCarthy and her friend Octavia Spencer, directed by McCarthy's husband Ben Falcone, doesn't bring us anything good.
This is a superhero comedy that is supposed to benefit from two multi-dimensional women. One decently educated and the other sassy from the wound. Of course, we're inoculating a lot of chemistry between the main duo from the classic two-character movie. Melissa McCarthy is still the same, and her partner in the "sexy" Thunder Force jersey is very weak. Octavia Spencer should definitely go back to playing black 60's grandmothers, which she looks a lot better in than when she's trying to act, let alone act.
In cameo roles, we might recall Jason Bateman, who plays his shrimper quite naturally and tries to deliver some acting despite his character's handicap. Bobby Cannavale, on the other hand, plays the flighty politician "The King" who is so evil he punches. Not forgetting the baddie Pom Klementieff, whose part is all about throwing blue lightning bolts and dropping a clever line here and there.
We don't even need to mention the other characters, except for young blood Taylor Mosby, who has perhaps the most important role in the entire film. She saves two super heroines from destruction.
Because you can't go to the movies here in our country, there's nothing to watch on TV. They're going to be showing the new Wonder Woman on HBO Go starting tomorrow, which is way better than the last super hero movie on Netflix.
I'm sure if it weren't for online services, this movie wouldn't have even made it to us and gone unnoticed on online services, but thanks to the fact that no new movies have come to us in half a year, neither TV nor the carriers are bringing anything new. Where are the famous Bond, Black Widow and many others that we would have watched from Blu-ray back home? They're still nowhere to be found, so we have to suffer through Thunder Force, which we would have buried 100 metres underground after the reviews in cinemas.
