Ok so, the movie wasn't great, but not that bad either. BUT, it was nowhere near the old TV show. I probably wouldn't watch the new Get Smart again unless forced to by friends. There's no point in making a new movie except to milk it for all it's worth. I'm sure they know they are making crap films, but as long as they make money, thats all that matters right? This is why I am glad for directors that make movies because they are passionate about film-making, and dont give a fuck what the mainstream has to say about it. There…I got that off my chest.

I actually enjoyed Get Smart. I laughed pretty hard and I really love Steve. No complaints for me.

#1 you do realize alot of people including myself liked Get Smart, right? Why not make a sequel that appeals to a wide audience and was a great comedy? Stop whining.

It was a pretty good movie and $130M is pretty good Alex for this type of film, a good 50 or so million more than expected. I am sure DVD sales will be stellar too. Overseas box office was very good too. This is a welcome sequel.

Oh please… Just admit this movie was good. It wouldn't gross that much it wasn't, now would it? I am in love with this movie and can't with until the sequel is finished.

The 1st was a good movie. It was funny without being too campy. The sequel will be even better with Patrick Warburton playing Jaime.

I bloody loved the first Get Smart! Made me laugh like an idiot. With Patrick Warburton in the sequel it can be nothing but awesome.

This movie is what Johnny English could have been. I think the only people who didn't like it were people who were around for the TV series. If you had no sense of what that was like, this movie was great.

Cute, Nostalgic. My kids thought the typical Maxwell Smart lines were funny. They are teenagers and tough on movies. Not Don Adams but Steve did ti justice in his own style.

It was better than I expected. My only complaint is that I thought Carell basically blew the classic lines - just didn't know how to deliver them (sorry about that chief, missed it by that much, and would you believe…). Hathaway was great as 99. I always love Arkin who was an excellent chief.
Very much looking forward to the sequel - hope to seem more of Murray as agent 13, and expect this will include a big part for Patrick Warburton as Himey.

I saw the first Get Smart movie last week on HBO. I liked the movie so much that I went out and bought the DVD. I like the movie so much I have my DVD player set to keep the moving constantly running over and over again. I think it is one of the funniest movies i have ever seen. I have already made plans to go see Get Smart 2. I hope the second one is as good or even better than the first.

I liked this movie, but, as Glen said above, I think Carell blew the classic lines espiecially when he said Missed it by that much. He never did the gesture where he holds up the 2 fingers an inch apart, and that is a pivotal part of that line. When he just says it noone knows what he means. I hope he gets it right for the next movie.

I liked the first get smart myself. Tons of comedy (although some of it abit overdone) mixed with the bumbling agent somehow pulling it off, which is pretty close to the old series (and yes, I have watched it, thank you tv land). Only complaint I had about the movie was that the chief wasn't as fun as in the series. No Maxwell having to figure out where the chief was hiding in his office (when the chief was disguised as the lime green chair in his office comes to mind). They basically made the humor all about maxwell smart, while in the series it was spread across multiple people regularly. But I can let that go given the fact they were in a high tech looking facility instead of the old office building look of the show, somehow lime green chairs, plant pots, and of course the old wood desk just dont fit into the new look.

I liked this movie. Period.l As someone who was extremely young when it first went into re-runs, I enjoyed all the nods to the original series (Smart's shoe-phone, his old red convertible, his suit — all set as "museum pieces" that Carell's Smart grabs up after his escape), and especially enjoyed Bernie Kopell's cameo (the original Siegfried), complete with campy, bad German accent.

The delivery of the trademark lines along with the lack of characterized gestured Don Adams made famous was a bit of a disappointment, but think of this film as a reboot, a re-genesis of the franchise (which it is). Who's to say that they decided to keep it a bit toned down in the first movie with plans to explain how those gestures, etc. came about? It would be great to hear Samrt say "Midded…" and 99 finish it with the finger and thumb 2 inches apoart and ask "By that much, Max?"

I am looking forward to the sequel, due out in 2011…

The TV show was awesome, and the movie was really good. I thought Carell did a marvelous job, and he & Hathaway were wonderful together. I'm looking forward to this, and hopefully we'll see more of Himey.
