If any of you are like me and watched thunderbirds as a kid, you might be interested to know that there is a movie being made.

The catch here is that it's not pupet oriented.. Good, Bad? Watch the trailer and you decide.

    Apart from featuring the legend that is Bill Paxton, I can't really see anything good about the film.

    Gerry would be rolling in his grave, y'know, if he were dead.

    Its nice that they are making a thunderbirds movie but this looks like a hollywood piece of sh*t. I know they are going to screw it up.

    I had a general feeling of

    <span style='color:red'><b><span style='font-size:17pt;line-height:100%'><span style='font-family:impact'>SPY KIDS</span></span></b></span>
    <span style='color:orange'><b><span style='font-size:9pt;line-height:100%'><span style='font-family:optima'>THUNDERBIRDS</span></span></b></span>
    <span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'><i><span style='color:white'><span style='font-family:geneva'>They are the Fast and the Furious
    superheroes of the future!</span></span></i></span>

    The marionettes rocked. This movie, will not. Adult marionettes. Child snots.

    I laffed.

    Sadly true though, even though the only times I ever saw Thunderbirds was when I was watching Tech TV (Before my stupid cable provider took it off their lineup) and it just happened to come on. But this movie looks horribly, horribly, crappy.

    I was really excited watching the trailer, but then I saw that the story revolved around a kid and his kid sidekicks who will use the power of friendship to beat the evil guy who will be all "GET THOSE DARN KIDS!" but he won't succeed and it will stupid.

    To put it short, I was crying by the end of the trailer. The show was pwn, this is crap.

    and another great show from my childhood becomes victim of the big bad "let's turn everything people liked to watch on TV into some crappy hollywood movie people will hate" campaign. Well done... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I saw this and definitely thought "Silverhawks" instead of "Thunderbirds." Quite different. Silverhawks own3d.

    It's just aimed at kids is all. Sure, it's a shame it doesn't have much in the way of adult appeal, but what do you expect?

    The main disgraceful thing about this movie is the fact they "dumped" Gerry Anderson who had came up with souch awicked concept in the first place......

    They should make a Silverhawks movie though, cuz then the movie would be garunteed to be better than the show, cuz that was hsow was terrible. It was like a lame version of Thundercats that tried to teach kids things. LAME.
