Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
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.

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

rotten:
Some bad movies are bold outrages; many others become hits. This one hasn't the juice to be either.

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

rotten:
The movie lets [Fiennes and Thurman] down with a patchwork climax that feels rushed and perfunctory.
