Summary: Pretty Lame
Comment: A read a review that called Get Smart "Staggeringly Bad". Now, although I won't go that far, it was pretty bad, and not very funny at all. I watched it thinking that I might enjoy it if i tried to seperate it from the TV series, but it was still bad. The movie gave only passing reference to the players and comic genius of the original series. It seemed as though they were just trying to get those catch phrases and support characters out of the way so they could continue with whatever it was they were trying to do here.
I would suggest browsing around Amazon and buying the original series on DVD if you want some real humor. The original series is even relevant today with its use of humor. That's the true sign of real comedy.

Summary: Well Made...But Couldn't Make Up Its Mind
Comment: Steve Carrell was an excellent choice to play Maxwell Smart, the production is first rate, and the rest of the cast is very good...but I kept wanting more spoof and less spying. There were too many moments when the story played its intrigue story straight at the expense of the comedy (that and Mike Meyers' limited sex and fart jokes killed the Austin Powers films).
Still, some good moments, every well made (it looks good enough to actually be a glossy spy film!), I just wish it had more humor in it. Either way, it's entertaining.

Summary: Funnier than expected
Comment: I was pleasantly surprised while watching this movie. The inclusion of The Rock helped decrease the overall dorkie-ness. Lots of fun and right up there with the Austin Powers movies.
The Blu-Ray copy looked AMAZING. I did not see a copy of the regular DVD version so I have no real comparison but that aside, it looked crystal clear.

Summary: How could you not like the movie?

Summary: Great movie!
Comment: I was dying to see this movie since the commercial of it came out but, unfortunately, missed it in the theaters, so I waited for it to go into dvd. Let me tell you- I wasn't disappointed. It was well worth the wait. This movie has a perfect blend of hilarious humor, great action, special effects and an intriguing plot with tons of unforeseen and unexpected twists and turns. If you're looking for a great action thriller/comedy, this is it. It's like one of those 007 movies but with more hilarious humor and less womanizing. No movie is ever dull with key actors like Anne Hathaway, Steve Carell and the Rock in it. When I get around to it, I'm planning to add a permanent copy to my dvd collection!
