    So, let me just get this straight. A gentleman spy action adventure with Ralph Fiennes as the hero, Uma Therman as the female lead, Jim Broadbent as the senior spy, Sean freaking Connery as the villain, and THIS is what you came up with?!

      A few years ago, an obscure studio had Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and a $200 million production budget to work with. They came up with "The Force Awakens" which included one non-speaking scene with Hamill and gave most of the screen time to a group of unknown actors.

      Quite a few years ago Lucas had the original cast from star wars, including the introduction of Boba Fett, and actors and actresses like Bea Arthur, and Art Carney and got the star wars holiday special.

      @tdark987 6 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      What was the show like? I've not heard of it before.
      I know that James Bond parodies were something of a fad back then (Austin Powers is probably the most well-known of the bunch, yet even f*cking Mr Bean jumped on the bandwagon toward the end), but from the looks of it this film was really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

    • @NotInTheBox
      @NotInTheBox 6 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      ztslovebird funnily enough, The Avengers was a thing before James Bond, and a few of Steeds assistants from the show went on to star in the Bond films. The Avengers is classed as spy-fi, not a serious thriller spy show. It even gets to the point where it becomes self referential, with the actors making up their own witty jokes. This movie is an awful representation of a great show devised by a great man, Sydney Newman, who of course created the hit show “Doctor Who”.

    The series took a surreal turn with Diana Rigg because she had bewbs and leather and color was new to television (before the show went to complete crap with Linda Thorson), and the Swing culture, and and the movie had nostalgia, and surrealism, and..and...

    -Has boring dialogue
    -Has teddy bears beating
    people up
    -The only good thing in this movie is Sean Connery(not saying much).
    -Weather machine.
    The good one:
    - Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Samuel L. Jackson, etc.
    - awesome action scenes
    - a serious death scene that makes you feel bad.
    - Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye vs. Loki.
    - a series of movies since 2008, and continues through 2016.
    .....You can see the clear winner.

      Alex Forth the reason it works in Kingsmen is the same reason it worked in the original show.
      The situations are so bat shit over the top it’s obviously not meant to be taken seriously. The original show was a comedy after all.
      With the movie they try and play everything straight.

      @luckystriker842 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Both take spy cliches to their most absurd in an attempt to comedically deconstruct the genre. However, The Avengers (1998) is a very broad spoof that just does the above and says it's "ironic" while Kingsmen takes a precise scalpel to the tropes and subverts each and every one of them e.g the villain has dinner with the hero but instead of serving something gross meant to intimidate him, he serves him McDonald's.

    Disowned Adaptation: Patrick Macnee hated the film, while Brian Clemens, one of the main creative forces behind the series, was dismissive of the idea, saying that "Americans making The Avengers is like making The Godfather in Watford".

    A guy in a bear suit and mechanical bees. Oh my gosh, this is Wicker Man. With Sean Connery instead of Nicolas Cage. Good Grief!
