'Thunder Force' Review: Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer in a Superhero Satire That Never Threatens to Rock the Genre
Melissa McCarthy gets more chuckles than laughs in a comedy that sticks too close to her comfort zone.

The “Airplane!” school of chock-full-of-jokes conceptual parody, with its fourth-wall-smashing stupido-smart goofiness, had a pretty impressive run. It ruled for several decades, spawning everything from the “Airplane!” creators’ own “Naked Gun” franchise — to me, the media-age Marx Brothers-worthy masterpiece of the form — to the Wayans brothers’ “Scary Movie” franchise to several dozen comedies, from “Hot Shots!” to “National Lampoon’s Loaded Weapon 1” to “Not Another Teen Movie,” that skewered genre after genre after genre with the puckish satiric glee that most of them deserved. But the “Airplane!” school didn’t stick around long enough to mount a full-scale comic attack on the superhero movie. Which is too bad, since it could have been stupendous. What comic-book films, with their authoritarian heroism and CGI bombast, just about cry out for is a parody that’s massively scaled in its high-flying mockery.

Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer don superhero suits to fight evil mutants in a comedy from writer-director Ben Falcone.
If
Thunder Force will be remembered for anything, it might be this bizarro footnote: The movie marks the second time, after
The Shape of Water, that a character played by Octavia Spencer learns her best friend has had life-changing sex with a fish-man. Which makes it sound a lot more interesting than it is.
It helps, of course, that the trans-species couple in question, each with unasked-for superhuman strength, are played by Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman. There might be no one better than McCarthy to poke a welcome hole in superhero self-seriousness. But
