Review of The Avengers (1998) by Adam T — 18 Feb 2017
The late '60s TV show The Avengers was quirky, slightly surrealist but never boring. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for this timely film. There is absolutely no chemistry between the two leads, no witty repartee (only patronising English cultural cliches like "Do you fancy a cup of tea?") and Sean Connery should be memorable as the villain but is given little screen time to make an impression.
It is basically the worst kind of British movie- that being a British movie with a Hollywood mentality. Terrible, just bloody terrible old chap.
