    The Thundermans is the best movie ever!

    Practically everyone knows the famous Marvel superheroes, like Spider Man, Captain America, and more. It seems people often overlook the superhero movies that are actually good for these lousy, mediocre movies. A new high-quality movie called The Thundermans Return was just released on March 7 of this year, and it might just be the best superhero movie made. The Thundermans Return follows the close-knit Thunderman family who use their powers to stop evil forces. After the family lost their job as an elite superhero team to three undercover supervillains, they have to work together to save the fictional city of Metroberg. 

    Many superhero movies struggle with making their heroes’ abilities look real, but this was definitely not the case in The Thundermans Return. The special effects technicians really hit it out of the ballpark. The visuals in The Thundermans Return really reached peak quality. No cinematic creation could ever compete.  Watching this movie was really an immersive experience, in part due to the action-packed plot, but mostly because of the stunning visuals and beautiful music. When it comes to film scores, people’s minds generally travel to the most famous movie series like Star Wars or Harry Potter. Sadly these film scores sound absolutely terrible and do not even compare to the breathtaking and emotional music that appears in The Thundermans Return. It’s safe to say that The Thundermans Return is one of the highest-quality movies, in both visuals and music, ever filmed. 

    Watching The Thundermans Return for the first time was truly phenomenal. The idea behind the plot is completely unique. No movie has ever done anything like it before. The setting and the characters were so inspiring. It was easy to get lost in the complicated world of Metroberg. The cast put on a wonderful performance, portraying their characters perfectly. The storyline is so intricate, while also simultaneously simple enough to allow the audience to easily follow along. After watching The Thundermans Return, most will find their lives changed forever. It is really one of the most influential movies of its time. The only plausible critique one could have for it is that it ended too soon. The Thundermans Return will undoubtedly be remembered for many years to come.
