No, not that “Avengers.” Based on a TV series of the same name, this one pits two British agents (Uma Thurman and Ralph Fiennes) against a madman with plans for world domination. It managed to offend virtually everyone, meaning fans of the original TV show, critics, and general audiences alike. One reviewer would go on to say that it gave “other cinematic clunkers like ‘Ishtar’ and ‘Howard the Duck’ a good name.”
