Summary: CALLING THIS A FLOP IS A COMPLIMENT (ZERO STARS)
Review: This movie was a complete disaster. I have been a long time fan of Sean Connery, he is one of my all-time favourite actors, but it is beyond my comprehension why he accepted the role in this really bad movie. The original avengers was one of the best series ever produced. Most of my lunch breaks at university were spent watching Patrick MacNee and Diana Rigg and they were extremely enjoyable times. This attempt at reviving interest in The Avengers has failed dismally.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worst movie in the past 20 years
Review: This quite possibly could be the worst movie made in the past 20 years. The story was almost completely unfollowable, the stunts and effects were silly, and for the life of me I still don't get the giant teddy bears. Fiennes and Thurman have absolutley no chemistry together, and when they attempt to have a witty conversation, they come off as petulant children (I'm wittier than you - no I'm wittier, etc.). Do yourelf a favor and avoid buying this at all costs. If you still have an insane urge to see it, try to catch it on late night cable.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: God Awful
Review: I love movies and I'll sit through almost anything. I almost walked out on this one, but I stuck it through to the end. What a mistake! Bad script, bad acting.... Trust me, save your money.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: One word description - BORING!
Review: This is one of the worst films I've seen. I just kept waiting for the movie to get better or end, but it wouldn't. The best part of this movie was the closing credits.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Use your time more constructively -- view something else!
Review: I loved the TV show. The surreal situations, the action, but mostly the clever banter between Peel and Steed. And it is mostly for lack of the latter, that this film doesn't work. Where there should be lightning quick exchanges there are holes in the repartee you can drive a Mack Truck through.

Uma Thurman was a poor choice to play Emma Peel. Her English accent sounds awkward and contrived. Often she accents the wrong word within a phrase giving the impression that 1) she doesn't understand the meaning of the lines she's delivering 2) she's reading her lines from cue cards.

Let's face it, big budget production values aside, without the Peel/Steed repartee and chemistry there was no point in making this movie.

Spend your money wisely. Buy the videos of the TV show instead.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worst film I've ever seen
Review: I knew I had to see it as I am a fan of the TV series. It's almost as if the writers watched a few old episodes, picked up a few ideas and threw them into the script. Absolutely NOTHING worked, the daft things Steed did (like the tea making in the car) worked in the TV show because it was done with style; in the film it came over as pathetic. Uma Thurman is no Diana Rigg; she can't act and was totally inept.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love this film very much. Buy it.
Review: You can't afford to miss this film. It is so good, You'll want to buy it. Uma Thurman is very lovely as Dr. Emma Peel . She is to me the star of this movie. You can't miss her. She has beautiful alburn hair. Uma Thurman is the best actress ever!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Uma Thurman is a wonderful actress!
Review: Uma Thurman did an outstanding Job in this movie. She's so sofisticated and talented. She had beautiful alburn hair. She was the best part of the film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: neat movie
Review: This is one of the movies I would buy on DVD. Really :) I guess it's all a matter of taste, and even through the majority hates this movie, I liked it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: VERY CLEVER, SHOWS WONDERFUL BRITISH WIT
Review: Me being british and living in london i really liked this film, i think it was misunderstood in america. I dont think people got the humor or the cleverness of the story. It was however very very popular in london, if people werent so in to horror and sex films they would enjoy this one!!! i give it 4 stars!!!
