The Avengers (1998)
1/10

For everyone who has ever seen at least one of episodes of the original "Avengers:, one thing is clear: It's very stupid, silly and laughable series... ...when taken seriously. At one moment, I got a 'moment of clarity' and I got one thing: In fact, this one is an intelligent and brilliant PARODY of spy-movies and TV series of the '60s (like 007s and The Saint). All the cliches and standards of those movies are here brought to an absurd: (some spoilers possible here) little cats manipulated electronically to attack and kill humans like big tigers? machines making cars and people matchbox-sized in one millisecond? people ripped to pieces by a 'winged avenger' with great metal claws - and not bleeding? Pathetic - when taken SERIOUSLY. If not - it's real FUN!

Why I'm writing this?

Because mr. Chechik didn't get any of that. This film is made so seriously it's incredible pathetic: (some more spoilers possible) Big Ben hit by a lightning explodes like it's made up of gasoline? Teddy bears sequence - God, it's simply stupid.

This film is boring, incoherent (this one may be caused by large cuts in finished movie) and, generally, barely watchable.

If you've never seen any episode of Avengers, you may even enjoy this. If not... do yourself a favor and don't even come CLOSE to this ***t.

This sucks! 1/10.
