The Hollywood Reporter
Smartly written by William Osborne and Michael McCullers, Thunderbirds expertly targets kids. Yet parents won't be entirely bored.

Dallas Observer Bill Gallo
This special-effects-crammed action blockbuster is not rocket science. It's more like rocket fun.

Chicago Tribune
It's a pretty entertaining, extremely good-looking cinematic blip--not important, not outstanding, but better than a lot of PG stuff that attempts to reach both parents and their 8-year-old kids.

Entertainment Weekly
Without fail its upbeat cheesy wholesomeness is always good for a smile.

Variety David Rooney
The story rarely gets fired up to "maximum thrust," to use the rocket-speed parlance of its heroes.

Kids are most likely to be entertained by this live-action offering, although baby-boomer fans of the series will appreciate how closely it hews to the show's foundation.

Philadelphia Inquirer
It's clean and cheerful entertainment, blithely piggybacking on a beloved classic. No wonder Anderson washed his hands of this project - the filmmakers tampered with and trampled on his magic formula.

L.A. Weekly Ella Taylor
Thunderbirds is devoted to the principle that character and story are but rude interruptions to the real order of business, an endless display of profound vehicle fetish.

ReelViews James Berardinelli
Watching a misfire like Thunderbirds illustrates how impressive the "Spy Kids" movies are.

Village Voice
As the dapper Lady Penelope, Sophia Myles tries to infuse the enterprise with some "Charlie's Angels" verve, but she's only one life vest, and the movie is a downed plane.
