The Avengers (1998) - Nostalgia Critic

[@supercool559]

This movie is why Marvel's The Avengers is called Avengers Assemble in the UK.

[@tommycarr8111]

And because the 60s show is still shown on some channels in the UK.

[@danielmcgarel5105]

TheClassiestMajinBuu Oh my goodness that’s so funny!

[@MikeFelix1805]

[@Poever]

[@TiStardust]

TheClassiestMajinBuu It's a better title.

[@Justmyhandle]

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?!

[@andreapitre1978]

When you say it like that.... sounds like wasted potential.

[@absurdious]

and aunt Petunia as the traitor

[@kaijukid1443]

I believe the definition for something like that is "Waster Potential"

[@johnjamele]

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.

[@yoda908]

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.

[@Mr_Original]

"So as they drive off to meet Mother, you may notice something very odd about the people of London in this movie: THERE'S NO PEOPLE OF LONDON IN THIS MOVIE!" I just love Critic's sarcastic exclamations.

As far as I can tell, The Avengers TV show (1961) came out before the Avengers comic (1963).

[@bamos1092]

:O

[@jacobhogan3208]

It did yes.

[@eddieolshefski6467]

True. But the show was in the UK and it had nothing to do with the comic. Somehow, I doubt Marvel took the name idea from them. That would just be silly.

[@Yetaxa]

I think the strangest coincidence about both of them is that the title is largely meaningless

[@AnitaLife27]

Don't feel bad about not seeing the original (excellent) show. The people who made this movie never saw it either.

[@ztslovebird]

Betsy Manning Seriously? Never trust a project by people who know nothing about the source material. Like this, Dragonball Evolution, Toddler Titans Go, and Jem.

[@tdark987]

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]

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”.

[@brianaguilar8283]

ztslovebird Jon M. Chu was a big Jem fan when he directed it

[@brianaguilar8283]

This movie was heavily butchered in the editing room. The Director’s Cut is 115 minutes long

Rest In Peace, Sean Connery, who just passed away at 1:00 AM in the Bahamas on Halloween morning surrounded by his wife and son Jason and stepson Stephane. Rest In Peace, James Bond. Now you're in heaven with Roger Moore, Bernard Lee, Lois Maxwell, Robert Brown, Desmond Llewellyn and etcetera..... 😭😭😭😭😭

[@tannerprice2018]

Comparing both Avengers movies: This movie: -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.

[@luckystriker842]

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.

What do you have against Critic?

[@keepyoureyespeeled]

+MOSERTRON seriously?

[@kruleworld]

Yes in the tv show, all that pointless banter has lots of sexual innuendo and some genuine attraction between the two protagonists. This movie has none of that. Nice how they remake stuff and totally not understand the source material. Like the remake of Total Recall doesn't have any of that "Is it real or is it a dream" from the original, a debate, which is STILL raging on internet forums today (where as everyone has already forgotten the remake).

As soon as I heard who had been cast as the leads in this movie, I knew that it would be a disaster. Has Ralph Fiennes ever managed to be charming in any movie role ever?

[@THB192]

+Mark Chapman I realized it would suck when I realized that none of the original cast was in it.

[@Frredster]

"Take me away, Jesus" lmaooo

[@SJ_RANKS]

So let me get this straight Sean Connery passed up the role of Morpheus for this 9:37 WTF?!

[@bimapringgo]

The Avengers movie made in the style of Kingsman. I would love to see that.

[@axelnilsson5124]

That’d be great

[@durandol]

Okay... You got me with that intro. And I laughed.

[@fuckTrump-v7j]

Sean Connery turned down the role of Morpheus in The matrix for this

[@daigneauray7087]

fuck Trump I believe it was actually the role of the Architect.

[@joeyteter9383]

"Oh no look out they're playing the stock footage from Mars Attacks" lmao 😂😭😂😭😂

[@joyunicycle]

I swear I just want to give those bears a squeeze each; they’re so cuddly! There’s no way you can make them look evil, even Nicholas Cage wouldn’t look intimidating.

[@kass4294]

His cries of agony towards the beginning, made me cry from laughing. Thank you critic for screaming like a 14 year old boy being stabbed in the right thumb, I would know because I stabbed myself with a butterfly knife... I screamed a lot but then I went to sleep. :)

[@stormbringer2189]

did you bandage it up?

[@kass4294]

+demetric taylor Yeah, it was quite painful, but I just took a nap and now it no longer hurts. :D

[@imasiontist653]

+Nat714 what the heck

[@kass4294]

+Barack O-Fairy Man, all I know is getting trampled, breaking bones, cutting fingers while cutting food, falling down a lot and sleeping.

[@imasiontist653]

Nat714 ahhhhh

[@Charles5683]

This review for me is the absolute best ever review of NC, mainly because i understand british humor and when you see NC it just makes it hilarious

[@justking6998]

Realistic response XD 00:20

[@johnnysparkle]

Executive Meddling: According to Peter Bart's book Gross, Warner Bros. green-lit the film based on the strength of the cast and Jeremiah Chechik's work on Diabolique and were horrified by the final cut, being unsure of its appeal. The first screening took place in front of a "largely Spanish-speaking, working class" audience in Phoenix, Arizona, who hated the movie. The second took place in San Diego and didn't go any better. The studio wanted to reduce the running time and re-market it as a traditional action film (which it wasn't). Chechik was forced to re-edit the movie and remove some of his favourite scenes. The film's running time was cut from 115 minutes to 89, resulting in a incoherent mess laden with logistical and continuity errors. Michael Kamen was forced to re-work parts of his score, which caused him to cancel a number of concerts at Carnegie Hall and arrange additional recording sessions. After working on the film for eight and half months, Kamen quit the film to work on Lethal Weapon 4 and took his score with him. He told Soundtrack magazine that working on the film was "like aiming at a moving target".

I remembered watching part of this movie at a drive-in theatre when it first came out. The only thing I could recall was the teddy bear scene then falling asleep since it was very boring up to that point. By the time I woke up, the movie was over and I was left wondering if anything that was truly exciting had happened. That and RIP Sean Connery.

[@Gerilyn2003]

I always wondered... why are they getting paid one million dollars, rather than pounds?

[@sesfilmsllc]

1:49 Jim Broadbent. 🖕🏻 Please don’t take this seriously.

[@ericrakestraw664]

The Critic's comment at 4:07 seems so prophetic today -- "What is this, 28 Days Later? I've never seen the place so abandoned!"

[@Stephen-to7jx]

Does anyone notice Emma Peel and Black Widow are very similar?

[@PerovNigma]

I actually think the old woman is funny. 1) The contrast of a polite request followed by loud gunfire. 2) The visual of an elderly person using a tommy gun is *most unorthodox*. 3) The expectation/hope that her shtick will be different, only to find it's not. Much like in your Why Do We Love Stupid? video, the humour is derived from our own suffering.

[@ecgameplayer]

It would be funny but after seeing the polite shtick 10 times all of them failing miserably either being unfunny or annoying after the fifth time really puts a damper on later scenes.
