The Avengers (1998)
An insult to the original
30 November 1998
I went to see this film with an open mind. After all, it did have a few good actors to its name. By the time I left, I understood why this film had not been shown to the press before general release. The lines were corny, the plot was as well thought out and structured as a sneeze and the humour was pitiful. Quite simply, this was the worst film I had the misfortune to see all year. OK, so it must have some good points. The actors they picked were good but none of them made any effort. (quite sensibly) Uma Thurman's costumes were nice but quite honestly, didn't suit her role as an action heroine. In fact, the only two parts I was impressed with was the inspired bit with the teddy bears and Eddie Izzard's Mini Cooper. I think that's it. Don't see this film basically, no matter how impressive any of the trailers or stills look.
