I don't ever think the original Avengers were noted for their incredible acting talent. It's a fun romp in British superheroism. Uma Thurman and Ralph Feinnes are the quintessential modern Steed and Peel. The plot is appropriately cheesy, the villian is... Full review

Was a fun movie, not meant to be realistic it's more of a charming, cheesy adventure film. It's British so it does have a british style to it.... Full review

This is probably one of the worst films based on a television series. Other dis-honourees include Car 54 Where Are You? and Dragnet. The Avengers could have been a fun spoof of the James Bond series but hazzardly awry with choppy... Full review

It took our old friend Randy to look a little more closely at Jeremiah Chechik's IMDB page and see that "Diabolique" was not the only terrible movie he directed.
He later made "The Avengers," which stars Oscar-nominees Ralph Fiennes, Uma Thurman, and Sean Connery, with Jim Broadbent as the future Oscar winner (for "Iris," 2002).

The early test screenings of it were disastrous, in the sense that the film was so bad it actually caused earthquakes.
Alas, The Avengers lacks the basic biological components necessary to produce interesting material.

Aside from none-too-crisp looping and a cast list whose brevity makes this merry old England look positively depopulated, "The Avengers" is smartly produced studio fare, not surprising coming from the hands of seasoned producer Jerry Weintraub, who a decade ago already had a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame and a NATO producer of the year plaque hanging on his wall. ...

The Avengers" is real, real no-good, though its obsession with style and color makes it a reasonable piece of useless eye-candy.
