I just remembered that this movie exists, and I had to laugh uncontrollably. Then the laughter turned to tears and relentless sobbing. I'm writing this on my phone whilst lying under my bed. I ... I don't think I'm coming back out.

You'd have a much better time staring at a picture of Uma Thurman in her leather catsuit for two hours than actually watching the movie.

What-ho gents! Would you do me the pleasure of allowing me to spin you a yarn about The Avengers my fellow movie watchers? Here I am in HyperBritan where everything is HyperBritish, and by HyperBritish I mean AmericanBritish, the hyperrealistic vision of Britian that Americans hold about us, which this film is in! There's a little old lady who has a gun and is all quaint and british and polite and shit! ULTIMATE TOODLE PIP EXTREME. This film is absolute shit. Absolute, pure, shit.

Confusing, dry, and seemingly utterly without a plot. Seemingly, the movie suffers from severe cutting-room floor disease -- if there is a plot, it's been hacked to death in editing! Thurman, Fiennes, and Connery should fire their agents for attaching their names to such a steaming pile of movie, and the editing staff should be the first up against the wall when the revolution comes.

The Avengers has to be the worst film adaption of a tv series ever. I never watched the tv series as it was well before my time. But I do know that this horrible film adaption is completely disrespectful and unrecognisable of its much loved source material. I can only hope and assume that the likes of Fiennes, Thurman and Connery got offered more money than they could refuse. Otherwise I have absolutely no idea why they would associate themselves with this disastrously nonsensical mess.

With Ralph Fiennes, Uma Thurman and Sean Connery, a movie has to be good, right? Wrong. No matter how many good actors you pack into The Avengers, it's still absolutely unwatchable, beyond drooling over the eye candy. But posters of Ralph and Uma don't give you headaches trying to follow plots.

After resisting this one for years due to awful reviews, I gave it a chance. Not comparing to the series, I enjoyed it. 90 minutes of a cross between a James Bond and Austin Powers movie.

A dull abortive mess; feels chopped down and confused in its plotting as well as its intent. Connery suffers the worst here with his amusing, full-blown campy villain disappearing for big chunks of time – a pity as he is the highlight of the film; Thurman and Fiennes attempt some witty byplay but they both seem supremely uncomfortable in each other’s company so their scenes bog things down interminably. With a gaggle of terrific actors in support, it’s almost astonishing how lifeless this feels.

At first one can see the attempt to mimic the old tv show with all the properness and aged esthetic. It's almost dream-like how these people are just making flippant puns and double-entendres about everything, with the light so strange. But the moment the actual plot happens, it turns to over the top silliness, dumb non-threatening dangers, and bad James Bond pastiche. Also I thought the guy's name was Steve lol

No expert on the show, I've seen enough to think adapting it into a modern film seems like a bad idea from the start. Although period fashions make for some distinctive visuals, the tone of the show was never an outright loving spoof like Austin Powers, but a more amused "This is all so ridiculous" vibe which modern genre audiences generally hate. The repartee would need 2 be quite witty to rise above this but it doesn't & the 2 leads never seem to be having fun like the originals did.

I suspect the movie is a victim of ruthless test screenings, with the studio becoming ever more nervous and demanding more cuts to anything that might distract audiences. How else can anyone explain the complete non-presence of someone on screen as the usually highly-charismatic Sean Connery as the villain Sir August de Wynter. Again I have to assume he originally had a much larger role and it was edited down to nothing. So much for the baddies.

I'm confused by The Avengers. It's a silly, over-the-top spy movie about a man and a woman trying to stop another man from controlling the weather and therefore the world. It's full of terrible plotting, poor acting, a flippant and light tone, and is impossible to take seriously. But how much of this was intentional? Did the filmmakers aim to make this movie, or did it grow out of a lack of talent, time, or other reasons? It wasn't good but it was certainly watchable.

The casting director was amazing. I have no idea how she convinced a crew of well respected and talented actors to appear in this film. The director is amazing in the opposite way, since he somehow managed to wring out the worst performances in everyone's career. The editing is... unique, leading one to wonder how characters got from place to place or why their car is suddenly heavily damaged.

Ralph Fiennes was the only reason I continued to look at the screen and sort of pay attention throughout this. While reminding the other people in the room throughout the whole movie "I'm not enjoying this." and hearing the defense "Well, it's style." And then as it got WORSE, all defenses ceased. But I still have the memory of "But it's style" while ROBOT BEES ATTACKED A CAR.
