In all honesty, I was expecting The Avengers to be much worse than it was. I do remember the TV series with such fondness, and while this film is not an abomination as I have heard it to be it is very lacking in the series' style and charm. The production values, soundtrack and Ralph Fiennes though are pretty decent. The problems lie in the stodgy pace and direction, the inane and really quite terrible script and the uninteresting story. In regards to the cast, Fiennes is the only one who is decent enough, Uma Thurman is miscast, Sean Connery phones it in and the supporting cast are unforgivably wasted with so little to do. All in all, it could have been worse, but that is not to say it was good. 3/10 Bethany Cox
