Mrs. Peel, we're needed. Ralph Fiennes, Uma Thurman and Academy Award winner Sean Connery star in this big-screen update of the 1960s cult television favorite featuring the exploits of pair of super hip super spies--The Avengers. John Steed (Fiennes) has been called to investigate some very strange goings-on in Her Majesty's kingdom: The weather seems out of control, foul, deadly--even for England. Someone is controlling the weather to bring the world to its knees. Everything points to Sir August De Wynter (Connery), former Ministry man, very rich, very odd, entirely too smart. Now, preparing to fight fire with fire, Steed pairs with the unflappable Mrs. Emma Peel (Thurman), a master of jujitsu, a doctor of meteorological science and a body made for haute couture. Two amazing secret agents. One diabolical madman. Conditions are dark. The forecast is deadly. Tea, anyone?

Critics Consensus: A TV spinoff that lacks enough energy to spin, The Avengers is an ineptly written, woefully miscast disaster.

Reviews

Cinema Sight

Wesley Lovell

However delicious the film is, the story isn’t involving enough and the action is rather pointless. While there is a great deal of humor, it often comes at the wrong moments and rarely is it on par with other spoofs.

The pieces of the puzzle are all in place, yet none of them work in this 1998 spin-off of the hugely popular 1960s TV series.

Very terrible.
