[Q]: this is the worst movie i 've viewed so far in 98 .
the avengers = silly = man dressed in a bowler hat + woman wearing tight leathers
> evil scientists dressed in teddy bear suits + greater evil , sir august de wynter wearing kilt .
the question is what could have gone wrong with a potentially great idea with big name cast ?
the same question was probably asked of last year 's stinker batman and robin .
i feel the production got a little too smug ,
the script a little to smart and direction was somehow lost in the chaos of random events that collided together to form a movie .
my greatest criticism rests on the fact that there was no chemistry between emma peel and john steed ( thurman and fiennes ) ?
something that was a vital element of the 60 's tv serial of the same name .
the dialogue goes on and on about tea and other finer british perks , but does not allow much room for character development and interaction , except to perhaps grate on the viewer 's nerves .
one wonders why the dynamic pair bother kissing in the end except for pure english formality .
connery as sir august , does not fair better than thurman or fiennes .
his dialogue is as erratic as stormy weather , mostly embarrassing and poor quality .
if there is a movie you would prefer never to see , i believe the avengers would be a good choice .
for one thing , you will not have to witness a product that is far inferior to the three high profile names that is associated with the title .
i can not understand how something
so poorly produced could have been released , but i put it down to one of those freak happenings in nature , like lightning you ca n't see it coming until it hits you .

[Q]: this movie about two dysfunctional families never really gets off the ground , despite some good performances from a basically competent cast .
eddie ( sean penn ) and maureen ( robin wright penn ) are a not - so - happily married couple down on their luck .
living in rented rooms in the seedier part of an unnamed city , they spend what little income they have at the local bar , owned by shorty ( stanton ) , eddie 's best friend , and his wife georgie ( mazar ) .
maureen and eddie share an odd relationship marked by eddie 's frequent disappearances .
on his return , he promises her the world and professes his undying love .
their manic reunions all too soon lead to new lows , as eddie disappears again .
like a junky craving the next high , maureen suffers through the lows to reach the next high .
their relationship is further complicated by maureen 's pregnancy .
she wants the baby and the father , but deep down seems to sense the inevitability of losing the latter .
during one of eddie 's absences , maureen is attacked by kiefer , her neighbor , who gets her drunk ( with her cooperation ) and then insists on intimacy .
she leaves badly bruised and in fear of what eddie might do -- not to her , but to kiefer .
she lies about what happens to ensure that no harm will come to eddie as the result of his inevitable rage .
he lashes out as she expects , and ends up in an institution for what he believes to be 3 months -- but in reality is 10 years .
during this decade , maureen divorces eddie and remarries a more solid and reliable individual , joey ( travolta , in a small role ) .
her life falls apart again when eddie is released from the institution and comes to find her .
joey insists on bringing eddie into his home and making his wife choose between her husband ( and father of two children ) and stability ( joey makes a good living , drives a cadillac , and they live in a large house in the suburbs ) and the love of her previous life .
she chooses her past , and sacrifices not only her new life but her old ( by giving up her and eddie 's daughter to joey ) .
but the eddie that she knew is gone , replaced by a mere shell of the man he was .
maureen is herself a mere shell , more an automaton than a woman -- as if she had gone through whatever therapy and treatment eddie was given along with him .
perhaps these two really do need each other and can find happiness ( or maybe the lack of sadness ) together , but the movie 's denouement was not convincing .

[Q]: in 1998 , director brett ratner and his stars , jackie chan and chris tucker , breathed new life into the buddy - action film genre with the cross - cultural " rush hour " - to the tune of about $ 250 million .
you do n't mess with success , so the team is back again , and better , in " rush hour 2 .
" the combo of the terrific physical talents of chan and the non - stop motor mouth of tucker made for an ethnically unusual duet in " rush hour " that played well to audiences around the world .
the formula worked so well
, in fact , that the sequel was inevitable .
i 'm never thrilled with the idea of a follow - up to a successful original since they rarely meet the previously set expectations .
surprisingly , " rush hour 2 " wastes no time getting down to business and turns out to be better than the flick that spawned it .
the script , by jeff nathanson ( utilizing the characters developed by ross lamanna in the first film ) , wastes no time getting to the point right from the start .
terrorists have bombed the us embassy in hong kong , killing two american translators , and chief inspector lee ( jackie chan ) is handed the job of solving the crime .
concurrently , his friend james carter ( chris tucker ) arrives on the island for some much needed r&r and expects his friend to spend some time and show him the sights .
instead , lee drags carter into the case and the duo get involved in stopping a conspiracy to counterfeit hundreds of million of us dollars .
the makers of " rush hour 2 " are working at a distinct advantage over the original .
we , the viewer , are familiar with the two lead characters and the already - existing chemistry that chan and tucker developed so well the first time around .
that chemistry was a high point ( and probably the saving point ) before and
, now , the pair wears their friendship like a comfortable suit .
little time is wasted in getting to know the key players so the screenplay capitalizes on those things we liked best in " rush hour .
" first and foremost to me , in " rh2 , " is the immense pleasure in watching jackie chan 's artistry in fight choreography .
the 47-year old martial arts master has a renowned reputation for doing all of his own stunt work and , here ,
he does not disappoint .
chan 's use of props when battling bad guys continues as he pulverizes his opponents with whatever item comes to hand , such as a trash bucket .
his moves look every bit as good as they ever did as he fights four or five nemesis at once on bamboo scaffolding , on the tail end of a yacht , in a hong kong massage parlor and , for the finale , in a las vegas casino .
like harold lloyd or buster keaton , chan takes pride in putting his physical self on the line in pursuit of his artistry and is a joy to watch .
chris tucker reprises his role as the motor mouthed la cop , carter , who teams , again , with lee to put down the bad guys .
when he is unceremoniously pulled from his vacation to help his colleague and friend with the big case , he still looks to have some fun .
when lee goes into a karaoke bar , the lair of chief bad guy ricky tan ( john lone ) and his hoods , carter takes the spotlight on stage with a credible michael jackson riff .
the comedian made the move from the improv stage to the big screen and , with jackie chan , has a franchise to hang his coat on to pay the bills .
the combo of chan 's flying feet and fists with tucker 's fast mouth make a duet more endearing than riggs and murtaugh in the " lethal weapon " films .
the supporting cast is here to move things along efficiently .
john lone , as ricky tan , is a suave villain who is the real power behind the throne of american bigwig steven reign ( alan king in a walk through performance ) .
lone does n't chew scenery or make pronouncements to " get lee and carter , " but gives the chief bad guy elegance .
zhang zi - yi (
" crouching tiger , hidden dragon " ) continues to display her martial arts skills
as ricky 's taciturn henchlady , hu li , who carries on an ongoing battle with carter .
( carter has a problem , through most of the film , with hitting a woman , but this falls aside with their eventual one - on - one melee at the conclusion . )
roselyn sanchez is knockdown gorgeous ( and resembles sandra bullock ) as undercover agent isabella molina - she does n't add much to the equation but is terrific to watch .
director ratner and the original " rush hour " production team have assembled a crew of skilled craftsmen to work behind the camera .
cinematographer matthew f .
leonetti has had a long career of shooting action flicks and gives " rh2 " the fluid camera movement the genre film needs .
production design by terrence marsh spans continents and gives the right look , whether it is in a hong kong karaoke bar or a high stakes las vegas casino .
the rest of the techs are of the same high quality .
i 'm surprised to even say that " rush hour 2 " is the most entertaining of the summer blockbuster movies .
it takes the best of the first film and kicks jurassic dino butt in its fun , frolic and fast pace and is the best mainstream thing out , so far , this summer .
i give it a b .
