![]() Rating: - Maybe the 2012 will fare better?!?Even though ten years older than myself, it is clear that director Jeremiah Chechik didn't have a clue as to what made the TV version a draw (Diana Rigg). If you don't cast a Diana Rigg then forget doing a remake. When Val Kilmer took on the role of "The Saint" it was casting agent Elisabeth Leustig and director Phillip Noyce (Clear and Present Danger, Patriot Games) that had the right stuff to revive a British staple of 60's television. It should have been Noyce directing "The Avengers-1998" ... Read More Rating: - Better Than These ReviewsI bought this movie in the $3 bin at a local discount store. I then read the reviews and thought I had been had. However, I actually liked this movie. Sean Connery as the bad guy and I found it very well done with excellent picture quality. Rating: - "And This Is Merely The Beginning." Never Saw The TV Series, But The Movie Is..."Not Someone Who Plays By The Rules, Doctor."Ralph Fiennes, Uma Thurman and Academy Award winner Sir Sean Connery star in this big-screen adaptation of the popular 1960's television series which starred Honor Blackman, Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg.

It may be the worst movie ever made, by the rating, but it is CERTAINLY one of the MOST ENJOYABLE ever seen. It took a little research to discover that this was made after the successful TV series -- and then it dawned on me that they got the one star on purpose. This is a fantastic "send-up to the extreme" of all the earlier "spy movies" and when watched with that in mind it was very enjoyable. A must now for my collection. Rating: - At Least Give It A ChanceI know I'm in the minority, but I really did love this movie. I suspect one reason there was a negative reaction to this film was because many people missed the original series. The original series was before my time, so I had nothing to miss so to speak. Moving on, the movie tries to create a 60s feeling, and to a great deal they succeed. We see John Steed gradually walk through a series of 'obstacles' to test his spy abilities. Uma Thurman and John Steed meet, and right away, we see that Uma Thurman ... Read More The Avengers Buy superhero comic book collectibles at the Superhero Mall! |
