Reviews for The Avengers
DeWynter and his conspirators, seated at a long table, are all wearing fuzzy teddy bear suits, each in a different color of the rainbow. Everyone together now: WHAT THE F**K?

Thoroughly and consistently awful.

Having finally been forced to watch the big screen version of the classic '60s British TV series, I have to confess that I thought it was a lot of well-intended fun.

The movie is so disorganized that I'm not even sure what it was supposed to be about.

A disaster.

the film plays like some sort of feverish hallucination with no real logic or continuity. ... your only chance this week to see Uma Thurman attacked by a giant teddy bear.

Scenes evaporate before your very eyes. Bad puns roll off the heroes and anti-hero’s tongues and lay dead before your feet.

Instead of the ultra-sophisticated John Steed and Emma Peel, we get Ralph Fiennes and Uma Thurman, who come across more like contestants in a "cutest couple" contest.

It will suck life force from you.

There's only one thing this movie has going for it--and you guessed it: Thurman in a catsuit.

To say Fiennes and Thurman don't have the chemistry of Macnee and Rigg isn't enough. They don't have the chemistry of Don Adams and Barbara Feldon. They don't have the chemistry of Boris and Natasha.

The trouble is, the film's decadence isn't a put-on, it is, simply, depressingly, degeneratively, decadent.

Top CriticOh, I am so angry I paid full price! Don't make the same mistake I did! I can save you the trouble and pain and bitterness. Listen to me. Don't go see it!
