Get Smart [Blu-ray]

Enjoyed it

Laughed so hard at Steve Carrel, i was crying. Anne Hathaway is absolutely delicious. Good movie.

I did guess "the unknown bad guy" but I'm good at that.

Would you believe that it's a pretty funny movie for a casual evening's entertainment? If you like Mel Brooks style slapstick, that's exactly what it is.These folks took a page from the Mission:Impossible crew on how to translate an old TV show to a decent movie:1. Have a decent budget for a good script and good effects.2. Hire some A-list actors.3. Respect the things that made the original special.4. If the theme song is a recognizable, well-composed classic, keep it.I'm not really a fan of Steve Carell, but he's pitch-perfect as Maxwell Smart. His deadpan delivery is spot on.I am fans of Anne Hathaway and Alan Arkin, and they both turn in good efforts. I've like Anne since The Princess Diaries, and Alan since he captured the enigmatic Yossarian in Catch 22 (forty years ago!).Ex-athlete actors can be a risk for pushing the cheesiness factor too far, but Dwayne Johnson does reasonably well here. His entrance is quite funny, and even though his character is supposed to be a prima donna type, he never hogs the spotlight.Terrence Stamp is an underappreciated talent - the Christopher Lee of his generation, as far as I'm concerned. He's the ideal choice for the super-villian Siegfried, and has the line in the movie that made me laugh hardest:Siegfried's assistant: Too bad about all the dead movie stars.Siegfried: Yes. What will we do without their razor-sharp political advice.The original series was created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, and they were brought in as consultants on this effort. I think this helped get the right feel for the characters, not to mention the running jokes from the original series ("Would you believe...", "Sorry about that, Chief.", "Missed it by that much.", Etc.), which are not overdone and generally integrated nicely into the dialog without being too forced.There are some flaws. A few scenes do go on too long. The "get past the criss-crossing lasers" scene and the chase scenes at the end are the best examples.Seriously, this isn't a top-ten all time comedy. But it was funny. I'm sure some don't like the slapstick, and it is quite easy for slapstick to slip over into cheesy and boring. But I don't think that happens here.

This 2008 movie when released people thought or you might think another dumb remake of a T.V. show into a movie most of time those movies fail and it's not good, But this one Get Smart 2008 is great and best in many ways script wise,funny really a lot not boring ever, direction great,editing,music,acting and locations perfect, my favorite scenes easy are when they are in Moscow,Russia-Red Square and in and outside the city in Russian country side those scenes are the best,and the ball room dancing scenes both Anne- agent 99 and Steve-Max pick different dancing parters try to out do one another to get to the bad guys,great part also. Max and Agent 99 try in stop the bad group three main men from making/planting a bomb in Russia to kill the U.S. president with a nuclear bomb in L.A.,Ca. starts in Washington D.C. in over to Moscow,Russia also Russian country sides and back to D.C. then to L.A.,Ca. Lots of great jokes and funny scenes great action stunts also fast paced movie a great movie version worthy of buying and seeing,great like the old series in the late 1960's but capture's something different that the old series does not in a way,movie or remake better than you think works better than other T.V. series being made into movies, most are not good and only alright this is best of the best.

Tutto bene

I've watched this film many times and found it funny every time. It's also Anne Hathaway at her best and before she had her hair cut short. The story itself isn't bad and even if you're not a Steve Carell fan, and I'm not, it delivers. Arguably Dwayne Johnson's first real film, because he wasn't playing himself or anything to do with wrestling and very good he is as well.

Gran compra y entrega rápida. Divertido remake de la serie clásica. Totalmente es castellano, misma edición que en España y con un precio genial... de segunda mano pero en perfectas condiciones, absolutamente recomendable.

Etant quelq'un qui aime l'humour décallé, absurde, les parodies... je suis un fan de tous ces films. La série Naked Gun, les films de Mel Brooks etc....Ils ne sont pas de niveau égal, mais il y a de très bons gags dans tous.
