Thurman and Fiennes look great in the roles, but they don't generate a fraction of the kinky sexual chemistry that Macnee and Rigg exuded.

Fiennes and Thurman look fine in the familiar outfits, but aren't very good at banter, adventure or romance.

Some bad movies are bold outrages; many others become hits. This one hasn't the juice to be either.
July 08, 2014
The cult 1960s TV series gets royally shafted by Hollywood in this stunningly designed blockbuster that's stunningly awful in every other department.
July 08, 2014
Neither elegant nor macho nor elegant-and-macho, Fiennes is terribly cast; Thurman at least provides the equivalent of a dressmaker's dummy on which to hang neo-mod fashions.

The new Avengers is dismal in dispiriting, dreary ways, and Ralph Fiennes, playing Macnee's part, is a particular disaster.

This big-screen version of the classic '60s TV spy show The Avengers can be added to the ignominious heap of updates, remakes, and adaptations that really didn't need to be made.

This Avengers film is so horrendously, painfully and thoroughly awful, it gives other cinematic clunkers like Ishtar and Howard the Duck a good name.

The only thing this Avengers shares with its swinging, earlier incarnation is a London setting.
July 08, 2014
This dull spinoff of the 1960s television series has a spectacular cast but little energy and no ideas at all.
July 08, 2014
The movie lets [Fiennes and Thurman] down with a patchwork climax that feels rushed and perfunctory.
July 08, 2014
This big-budget bore looks lovely but is so miscalculated that you can't help but wonder whether anyone involved had ever seen the original.
