Summary: SPECIAL EDITION - PLEASE!
Review: I was hoping that the DVD version of this movie would contain the 40 minutes of film cut from the movie to appease the WB execs - However, even with the 40 minutes gone this movie is awesome. It is stylish, witty and a bit surreal. I don't understand why everyone hates this so much - but I am attributing it to the fact that most Americans are ignorant and stupid and lack imagination and crativity. If everything isn't laid out for them in an obvious way it's hard for them to "get it." This movie isn't a masterpiece, but it is worth seeing and very original.

Summary: It does not even stand on the shoulders of the original
Review: Standing on its own, the film is probably no worse and no better than the average action film: it's more an occasion for special effects, unexpected situations, special effects, stylish banter, special effects, spectacularly dispatching the villain, and more special effects than anything else. Seen from that point of view, noone would complain much about Big Ben exploding in such a spectacular manner when Sir August de Wynter lets loose his out-and-out weather attack on London: it's just what this kind of film is about. They only poison in jest, to borrow an expression And seen from that angle, noone would really expect anything out of the ordinary: it's just a bit of fun, and need not be very believable. However, the comic relief that most good action films produce over a bit of unbelieavable action is largely missing: the characters are too serious for that. There's a fairly reasonable fencing scene at Trubshawe's, but when Mrs. Peel turns her back on Steed and walks away from him, while still defending herself against his attacks from behind, it goes over the line of being belieavable, and turns into nothing more than a well choreographed action sequence in a film, and so becomes a bit obtrusive: my suspension of disbelief broke down very badly here. I came to this film with a considerable dose of the original Avengers in my memory: in particular the years when Diana Rigg played Mrs. Peel againt Patrick Macnee as John Steed. That's probably unfair: the film cannot stand that kind of comparison. The original relationship between Mrs. Peel and John Steed is gone. They're no longer cooperating; instead Mrs. Peel is under grave suspicions of sabotaging the Prospero weathershield, and Steed is to keep a check on her. And so the occasionally bright patter, which in the original was more an expression of the protagonists' relationship, here turns into something more like fencing with sharp weapons. Mother -- that rather poor attempt to explain "the Ministry" for which the original Avengers worked -- is here, and with Father, looking like Dr. Strangelove's twin brother, as an extra burden: one lame, the other blind. Again, my disbelief-suspenders had a very hard time with Father. Colonel I. Jones is more like the spirit of the original, but that may have something to do with the fact that Patrick Macnee is "appearing" in that cameo part. It's a bit as if a film historian had found a set of reviews, and some odd script fragments from the original TV series, and then set about to recreate the original from those bits and pieces, while not entirely being able to free himself from an old dream of writing the next big James Bond film. The best way to appreciate this film is to forget the original Avengers entirely, if possible. Those who haven't seen the TV episodes have a huge advantage here.

Summary: This is a great movie
Review: This is one of the greatest films I have ever seen. It is a must for anyone who loves British comedy and spy films. The effects are spectacular and the actors are great. You might not like it though if you don't "get" British humour.

Summary: Worst movie of the decade!
Review: As the late Thurston Howell III said on a Gilligans Island episode... "I would have walked out on this on an airplane". Even that would have been too kind for this movie. What was Sean Connery thinking when he accepted this role. A producer probably had some dirt on him. It least I hope so. I went to see it only because I trusted his judgement on quality. I will not make the same mistake again. Only buy it if you want to give it to enemy for a birthday present.

Summary: The Best Uma Thurman movie of all time! Get it!
Review: This film has such a British wit. I like this film rgardless of what others say about this movie. Uma thurman is an astounding actress. She was witty and charming. She knew her lines and what to say in this movie and you have to admit this movie is better than Batman And Robin. She had such beautiful alburn hair in this film. I think the Avengers is worth seeeing so please buy it or rent it!

Summary: APPALLINGLY BAD
Review: This movie is bad in a way any movie a right to be.
It's hard to convey to somebody how terrible this movie is. I'll just say this -- it's questionable whether this is a movie. There's a plot in the sense that the scenes are connected with some kind of logic. Zilcho story. The acting is about as good as those times when you read out dialogue in high school English classes.
This is really an abomination which words find it hard to possibly convey to the reviewer. Some movies are so bad that they're funny in an awful sort of way. The Avengers is worse. Easily the worst big-budget "film" EVER.
