But it seems that viewers have been divided on their opinion of the film. Taking to social media, many were enjoying the comedy between its two leading stars, while others found the film "predictable". One person wrote: "Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer as superheroes should be great, but it is not. #ThunderForce."

Another echoed this, writing: "ThunderForce is predictable and wastes the talents of both Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer, but at least Jason Bateman's enjoying himself. I did lol at 'surf and turf'. I appreciate what the movie was trying to do, but that doesn't mean it did it well, which is a shame."
However, others were complimentary on the movie and felt Octavia and Melissa made the perfect on-screen double act. "#ThunderForce was a really fun time. I'm a huge Octavia Spencer booster and she's a great match for Melissa McCarthy's energy," said one supporter.
