The Avengers, the hip secret-agent series from 60's TV, is reinvented for the movies with a stylish blend of wit, fabulous retro fashions and effects-packed action.
Ralph Fiennes is the very dapper John Steed and Uma Thurman is the smartly catsuited Emma Peel, two secret agents who fight crime with style. Sean Connery portrays Sir John De Wynter, an evil genius out to control the world with his high-tech weather machine. The madman poses quite a threat to mankind with his raging icestorms, scorching temperatures and mechanical buzz-bombing bees. But come cold heat or dreaded plight our two heroes never lose their cool. Tea anyone?

Not the world beating British TV classic. The TV show that defined an age was, innovative, fresh & classy. The drive of the TV show was it's quintessential Englishness. The film on the other hand felt like a foreign interpretation of how to be English. With so so many talented British directors and writers in Hollywood one would have expected them to be used. The Avengers theme didn't even open the film. It's like making James Bond French. At this price give it a go but don't expect too much.

This film gets a lot of negative reviews, but honestly it doesn't deserve them. It's a beautifully crafted film which is faithful to it's TV source material and presents The Avengers in a big screen adventure that blends the style of the TV show with intelligent storytelling.
