Review of The Avengers

The Avengers (1998)
2/10
Even worse than I'd expected!
10 September 1998
I'd read the reviews and was prepared for the worst.. .. and still they surprised me.

Witticisms that weren't witty.

Tea mentioned at least once every five minutes (ho-ho-ho.. that's an original "joke" to make about the British).

Terrible acting (wooden? they could have cast a pair of cricket bats!).

Random select-a-scene editing.

The usual tired old "entire world's fate rests in hands of one or two agents who have to knock out the evil guy in a fist-fight" routine.

Britain apparently populated by about twenty people, namely only those who interact with Steed and Peel (have a game of "spot the person/vehicle" during the London scenes if you still go to see this film).

Absolutely no plot at all... whatsoever. I'm not kidding.. I still don't know why they kept abducting Emma Peel!!!

The TV series was silly and knew it - this was just silly: 2/10
