So how then do you duplicate a magic aura from 30 years ago? You don't.
This film is an absolute mess.
The Avengers is too enervated to qualify as even a full-scale disaster.
What's missing is chemistry: the right blend of seriousness and whimsy, and charmingly compelling interplay between leads Ralph Fiennes and Uma Thurman.
This is an elaborate production, but all the jazzy sets and explosions in the world can't disguise the story's complete lack of urgency.
A smorgasbord of bad ideas, sumptuously over-realized.
