4 out of 5 stars what is so bad about this movie?c'mon people   August 22, 2007
falcon (canada)
i fail to see what was so wrong about this movie.i know the studio did br /little or no advance viewings or promotion,though i fail to see br /why.trust me,there's a lot worse movies out there than this,many of br /which should never have been made,let alone released.this movie had br /action,some romance,some humour and excitement yes,this is not Sean br /Connery's finest hour as he is way over the top.and yes,there are a br /couple of pretty absurd scenes.but honestly,it's not that bad a movie.i br /was very entertained.Uma Thurman was in it,for crying out loud.and in a br /skintight black leather outfit.what more do you need?OK,that last part br /would appeal mostly to guys,but still.i'm bucking a trend here and br /giving The Avengers a 4/5


2 out of 5 stars Uma Thurman......Purr.   January 26, 2007
R. Kirk (Planet Earth)
I found the dialogue in this film - quite dreary. On the other hand, I was infatuated with Uma Thurman in her cat-suit. Too bad the DVD Menu did not allow the viewer to watch this film - with the soundtrack only. Maybe in it's next dvd incarnation. Until then, watch this film with no volume - and turn up your stereo. It's a visual delight, only.

So bad. Watch the 60's TV episodes as they have come out on VHS and DVD but don't touch this with a 10ft pole.


5 out of 5 stars Steed Mrs.Peel, Good to Have you Back !   July 2, 2004

Totally misunderstood movie. A unique and visually stunning film with fantastic costume and set design. Ralph Fiennes was superb as British secret John Steed and gave the character some much needed sex appeal which in my opinion was sadly lacking in the original series. Eileen Atkins produced a classic 60s Avengers style character with her portrayal of 'Alice'. Sadly the Avengers does appear to have been very badly hacked in the editing room at the 11th hour and would certainly benifit from a release of the full length version. 'The Avengers' stayed true to the spirit of the original TV series and visually even improved upon it - Uma Thurman looked almost edible as Mrs. Peel. A fun and highly entertaining movie if you don't take it too seriously. I for one don't know what all the critical fuss is about.br(...)


4 out of 5 stars Almost Kill Bill Uma   May 22, 2004

WARNING: Even though the packaging says it includes 6 trailers, There is only one. Appearantly the other five trailers are included on a CD which is no longer part of the latest DVD release.pI loved this movie. The photography is crisp and beautiful. And there are some Uma Kill Bill action. If you are an Uma Kill Bill fan, you'll enjoy this movie much more than what the critics are saying.
