Review of Thunderbirds (2004) by Ross T — 29 Jun 2007

It was fun, and the adult characters were handled fairly well - although they were sidelined, this was due to them being busy rather than incompetent.

Admittedly, there were a few bits of expository dialogue that were very clunky ("My god, it's X, the trusty manservant of Jeff Wayne, the billionaire former astronaut whose wife died in a skiing accident three years ago!"). They reminded me of Sluggy, with its "recap in one breath" moments. Still, I'll forgive them a lot, just to see the machines in live-action, which I thought were very cool.
