Anthony's Anxieties

Commentary by Anthony Van Pyre

MR. VAN PYRE, WE'RE NEEDED

First off, be warned. There's spoilers, so if you don't want to

know about the AVENGERS movie, read no farther.

What can I say, it kicked ass. Any critic who gives this a bad

review is a moron plain and simple. To tell the truth, I didn't know if

they could pull it off or not but they did. This movie had the feel of

the T.V.

show even though I felt the stars were scaled-down verisons of Steed and

Peel. It was still jolly good.

I couldn't believe how Uma had some of Mrs. Peel's mannerisms

down, and Sean Connery as a villain - he rocked. The whole movie had that

AVENGERS feel to it - the dialouge, the witty banter, what can I say, it

just kicked ass! This movie paid homage to many British folks from Lewis

Carrol to H.G. Wells to Jules Verne. The movie moved along at a good pace

while the plot was almost not there at times (basically a no- brainer

plot) - the dialogue and sight gags made up for it, though.
