Critics Consensus

A TV spinoff that lacks enough energy to spin, The Avengers is an ineptly written, woefully miscast disaster.

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

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

1.5/4

However delicious the film is, the story isn’t involving enough and the action is rather pointless. While there is a great deal of humor, it often comes at the wrong moments and rarely is it on par with other spoofs.

2/5

The pieces of the puzzle are all in place, yet none of them work in this 1998 spin-off of the hugely popular 1960s TV series.
