Title: Whither goest thou, Mrs. Peel?
Review: I saw this movie with almost no expectations--I'd seen almost all of the '67 series on video before seeing this--but I was still incredibly disappointed. Steed and Peel don't come across as witty and smart; their dialogue seems stilted and geared to one-up each other ("I'm wittier than you." "No, I'm wittier than you." "No, I'M wittier than YOU." etc.) There was almost no chemistry between the stars, which is what held the TV show together. There also seemed to be a lot cut out as the plot really didn't explain what Prospero was about and how DeWynter's weather generating equipment would work against it. The weather equipment also seemed to work only because DeWynter said it did. Hopefully, the film industry is getting a clue and slowing down on producing films based on TV shows...
