A smorgasbord of bad ideas, sumptuously over-realized.

This is an elaborate production, but all the jazzy sets and explosions in the world can't disguise the story's complete lack of urgency.

What's missing is chemistry: the right blend of seriousness and whimsy, and charmingly compelling interplay between leads Ralph Fiennes and Uma Thurman.

The Avengers is too enervated to qualify as even a full-scale disaster.

This new film version, sad to say, is a hollow shell of the original series.

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.

The movie is a dismal and misguided special-effects romp featuring two of the deadest performances recorded this year so far.
