The IMDB.O. List #1
Casting Uma Thurman as Black Widow makes sense, I guess, but who decided on Ralph Fiennes as Captain America? Where is his shield? And Jim Broadbent as Nick Fury? Don’t even get me started on Sean Connery as Loki. He doesn’t even look like Loki! Where’s his scepter? Had the people who made this movie even read a Marvel comic?
I’m going to watch and write about every movie on IMDb’s Bottom 100 List. This is the first installment.
i loved this as a kid & would go around telling ppl its a surrealist masterpiece like a nerd so kinda dreaded a rewatch but even tho its a mess it almost works like toys '92 as a series of weirdo short films, actual experimental cinema bursting with ideas that only 9 or 10% work not just as escher mindfucks & alice-mirrors, monarch doppels & afx cares bcz you do bearsuits but actual spy stuff as well (great intro). mostly frontloads any intentionally weird & creative scenes so the rest is accidentally confusing in a way that stops being interesting around the finale but i love how all this baffling wacko shit gets thrown at you without any audience stand-in like agent-whatever in hellboy going…
Me and two friends caught this one on TV at 1.30am am, and it was very fun. Pretty much everything about it is dogshit, but it was the most fun I've had watching a movie for a long time. We got really fucked up so I don't really remember much about it, but from what I do remember everything was just presented really awkwardly and everything looked shitty as which added so much to my overall enjoyment. Anyway this is probably my worst review I've ever posted but it's understandable given my current state.
Watched for the podcast.
Me at the beginning of watching: I mean, sure this is corny, but it seems like your average British spy flick thing.
Me the EXACT moment Sean Connery comes onto my screen: Oooohhh. I'M IN DANGER.
I used to rent this all the time and would never miss a showing on HBO. What was I thinking???
I was balls deep in boredom watching this thing and from the looks of the cast, it looks like they were too. Sean Connery looks lost. Ralph Finnes tries to class up this production. Uma Thurman, why was she cast in this? Everyone looks like they’d rather be doing something else. Gaudy looking special effects are only moderately helped by some decent miniature work.
If your having trouble sleeping, don’t take Zzzquil or Melatonin, just pop this on and you’ll fall asleep in no time.
There’s this scene in MST3K’s viewing of Mitchell where Joe Don and some random kid are having an inane, childish argument and Tom Servo LOSES IT listening to their grating back-and-forth. Thats pretty much how I felt enduring Fiennes and Thurman’s coy banter this largely forgotten 1998 misfire is positively permeated with. The whole damn script is riddled with asinine one-liners and cutesy double entendres.
I saw this once in theaters a quarter of a century ago and remember thinking it was a goddamn mess. That’s still pretty much the long and the short of it. It’s kind of entertaining in a baffling-train-wreck sort of way (like Sith Lords for Anakin and Obi-Wan, studio-ending Hollywood clusterfucks are my specialty). 1998’s…
Forget Godzilla, this is the worst remake of 1998.
Clunky and obnoxious dialogue that tries too hard to be witty and features even more stupid and annoying quips than the films in the other Avengers series? Check. An inconsistent tone which doesn't know whether the film should be somewhat serious or completely pulpy? Check. An utterly and predictable boring story, which somehow still has only about two actual set-ups and payoffs? Check. Romance scenes so passionless and creepy that they make The Room's sex scenes look masterful in comparison? Check. A villain with the most stupid plan possible? Check. More 180 degree rule breaks than Madame Web? Check. Some of the worst editing in Hollywood history? Check. An opening credits…
If you think that Eddie Izzard and Shaun Ryder as a pair of thuggish henchmen knowingly named Donovan and Bailey, driving a Mini Cooper at high speed along Britain's country lanes and controlling Black Mirror: Hated in the Nation style robotic wasps is all some kind of nightmarish fever dream, then you've never seen the 1998 big screen remake of the classic 60s TV series The Avengers.
And if you've never seen the 1998 big screen remake of the classic 60s TV series The Avengers...well, count yourself very fortunate indeed.
It's been some years since I last subjected myself to this unholy, Razzie-heaped mess, but I was intrigued to revisit it after stumbling across a nice instagram profile devoted to…
