i grow up ( b . 1965 ) watching and love the thunderbird . all my mate at school watch . we play thunderbird before school and during lunch and after school . we all want to be virgil or scott . no one want to be alan . count down from 5 become an art form . i take my child to see the movie hoping they would get a glimpse of what i love a a child . how bitterly disappointing . the only high point be the snappy theme tune . not that it could compare with the original score of the thunderbird . thankfully early saturday morning one television channel still play rerun of the series gerry anderson and his wife create . jonatha frakes should hand in his director chair and his version be completely hopeless . a waste of film . utter rubbish . a cgi remake may be acceptable but replace marionette with homo sapiens subsp . sapiens be a huge error of judgment .
