Title: Use your time more constructively -- view something else!
Review: I loved the TV show. The surreal situations, the action, but mostly the clever banter between Peel and Steed. And it is mostly for lack of the latter, that this film doesn't work. Where there should be lightning quick exchanges there are holes in the repartee you can drive a Mack Truck through.Uma Thurman was a poor choice to play Emma Peel. Her English accent sounds awkward and contrived. Often she accents the wrong word within a phrase giving the impression that 1) she doesn't understand the meaning of the lines she's delivering 2) she's reading her lines from cue cards.Let's face it, big budget production values aside, without the Peel/Steed repartee and chemistry there was no point in making this movie.Spend your money wisely. Buy the videos of the TV show instead.
