Get Smart Movie

[Jeanette X]

Holy shit is it good. You've got to go see it, its better than the original TV show. It manages to be suspenseful and hilarious.

I'm going on Wednesday, I heard they have Bernie Koeppl in it but only a small cameo.

[McClain]

Bernie Koppel stinks like hot gym socks. This movie stinks worse.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Really? It looks really good.

[MarioRPG]

I thought it was really funny. I had not seen the original series though, so I can't comment on how it compares.

I think it was better than the original series. Carrell played Maxwell Smart with a certain level of vulnerability that made him extremely endearing as the character.

[JJ_Maniac]

Yes, I liked how Max wasn't portrayed as a dumbass, as in other movies of this category. He wasn't an idiot, just overwhelmingly oblivious and lacking common sense.

[Tadao]

Err... In the original tv series, he was an idiot.

[JJ_Maniac]

Well, in the movie he's not. Never seen original TV show, unfortunately

[Tadao]

Then shut up.

I wouldn't say that he was so much oblivious as just ungainly. I think movie works because he's an awkward but competent agent who gets put into situations that would make anyone look stupid, and he tries remain extremely poised despite being in an untenable situation. Carrell plays him with that stiffness of someone who trying very hard not to look like an idiot even though he does look like an idiot, knows full well he looks like an idiot, but is just trying to mitigate his inner embarrassment.

I think its his worse movie ever..... Its not good in even a single session...

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Alright seriously, I'm going to see it tonight.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Seems like your standard comedy movie to me. I've seen mixed reviews on it, though. Carell's always fun to watch, so maybe I'll rent it later on.

Someone skipped evan allmighty.

Also, not good in even a single session? the fuck does that mean?

[darkvare]

i loved it is as funny as watching someone suffer a horrible accident

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Alright, I finally went to see it. It was pretty good. I've been watching Get Smart for the past 16 years and thought it was worthy of a Get Smart movie. Carrell was able to pull off Don adams' character really well. His one liners were pretty bad but overall it was a good experience. Although I picked out a double X from the movie trailer I didn't let it hold back the movie.

[Tadao]

Sweet, I just saw a comercial saying that the original season 1 is coming out on dvd from Time Life.

Just ordered it.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Cancel the order. You can get the whole original series for a bargain through TIME LIFE. And it comes in a sweet box.

[Tadao]

Naw, I'll buy one season at a time. Can't fork out the 200 right now.

[Lobo Tommy]

I thought it was pretty funny. Probably not as good as the show though.

[Nick]

I miss Don Adams. :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Has anyone seen the direct to DVD movie about the gadget team from the new Get Smart movie?

[darkvare]

well they say is awful but i haven't seen it yet

[Tadao]

Just got my season 1, 5 dvd in. I am happy. 30 episodes and 1 dvd of interviews. I knew Buck Henry worte it, but I did't know Mel Brooks get's half the credit as well.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I miss the black and white episodes. Let me know when they start doing color ones. The first one I remember is the ship episode where there's a killer who walks with a limp and they can't figure out if it's a guy with a peg leg or lady in a wheelchair.

[Tadao]

I'm gonna have to make some gifs one day

[Tadao]

Looks like the 1st episode (Pilot) was the only black and white one.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Really? I feel like I have some gaps in my childhood then. I'm going to try for the entire set for November. I haven't seen the Larry Hagman episode on tv recently. Kind of miss it.

[Tadao]

I almost forgot about the original Get Smart movie, The Nude Bomb. :lol

and i guess there's a made for tv one, too? and there was a sequel series in the mid-90s that i never heard of, too (with andy dick :x)

The Andy Dick one was terrible, you can buy the entire series for $20. The 90's movie Get Smart again was okay. It didn't bring too many new jokes to the table, but it was nice seeing the gang back together again(minus Edward Platt). I liked how the Old control building was too top secret so the new control never found out where it was.
