Summary: the word of the day is PAINFUL!!
Review: I concur with the previous review, this was just horrid. Perhaps my expectations of a thrilling remake of a favorite childhood show were too high. The writers, producers, and directors should all be flogged. The storyline held no suspence of disbelief because it was hard to care about the characters let alone any predicaments they may have gotten themselves into. The premise was completely unbelievable. One would have to assume the major stars of this dog owed someone a huge favor or were threatened in order to cast them. Please, leave this movie in a warehouse somewhere. Do not encourage Hollywood to make Avengers II.

Summary: Better than critics said, worse than fans expected
Review: Though this movie clearly failed to live up to the expectation of many of the old series' fans, it was certainly not as bad as reviewed. Ralph Fiennes, for example, played a terrific Steed. Thurman wasn't all that great, but I didn't go to the movie to see her. The action sequences were exciting, and the gadgetry was adequate. My only complaint is that the movie was too short--ultimately failing to deliver an effective knock-out punch at the end. However, for all dvdofiles, this movie is worth owning.

Summary: Well, *I* Liked It. :)
Review: That's right - I must be the one person in North America who liked this movie. I was a big fan of the original Avengers, and while the movie wasn't as good as I'd hoped, it wasn't as bad as I'd feared. There were great bits here and here, between the teddy bear scene and the part with Steed using his hat as an impromtu shield. And if you look hard, you'll even spot Patrick Macnee, the original John Steed. If you go in expecting it to be as good as the original, however... don't. Uma and ralph do as good as job as you can, but there is only one John Steed, and only one Emma Peel. :)

Summary: ABSOLUTELY as it should have been!!
Review: In the bold tradition of The Avengers, this movie tends to wind it's way around and about several story lines and a dozen characters. If you've ever seen an episode and liked it, you will LOVE this modern re-telling! Not for movie critics or whiny why-doesn't-every-little-thing-make-sense'ers. . . Not stop action and wit!

Summary: A misunderstood film, but a delight.
Review: Contrary to popular belief, there are people who actually liked 'The Avengers'. I for one is one of those people. I loved the t.v. show because of the types of situations and stories that the shows were about. Patrick Macgee and Diana Rigg were the ultimate John Steed and Emma Peel, I believe that Fiennes and Thurman do a credible job in their roles. Connery had essentially became a Bond villian meglomaniac tendancies. I do think the editing wasn't the best that it could have been, but fans cannot control that element of the production. I was hoping for a DVD with many deleted scenes, but I was dissapointed. I still believe that it is a good disc, worthy of my collection. The sound and video are quite good and the supplements are excellent. People who totally dislike the film should get over it and realize, that it is just a movie.

Summary: Don't See This Film
Review: I was too young to see "The Avengers" when it was showing in the late 60's, and I don't think it would have changed the way I would have felt about this movie. All the way home in my car I was running my fingers through my Rosary Beads praying that this great blight on the careers of Ralph Fiennes, Uma Thurman, and Sean Connery would not harm the public perception of their talent, not to mention their ability to intelligently choose a marketable film. This film, undoubtedly the worst released in 1998, is plotless, thoughtless, witless, artless, not to mention just plain dumb. Not even the very talented cast assembled can salvage even one moment of artistic accomplishment in what on paper might have looked like a good idea but but on screen was a big-budget embarrassment. Poor Ralph.

Summary: Mrs. Peel, your needed, to destroy all copies of this film!!
Review: The most looked-forwarded to movie of the year for me. Now, the one I hope I can forget the quickest. I blame it all on the director. Who in Hollywood pays these imbeciles to make a movie like this. How in the world could anyone ruin a movie starring Fiennes, Connery, Thurman? - Totally beyond my comprehension. If anyone out there knows a place I can get an elective frontal lobotomy, please let me know. Do a service to one in deep suffering.
