Thunderbirds (2004)
This movie did not set the box office alight and was a rare disaster for Working Title. I'm not surprised, since I have not the foggiest idea of its intended audience -- too scary for young children, too mundane for teenagers, and too stupid for adults. (I think I said much the same about another film on this site -- probably "Cat in the Hat".) I even doubt if former fans of the TV series of which I was not one would find much to engage them here. The best I can say is that the colourful front titles were pleasant and that Sir Ben Kingsley can do villain. The only bit that amused me was seeing the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square with a big sign reading "Bank of London". Great.
