they should not do a sequel. instead they should do what the Hulk people did. make it over and try to make a good movie this time. that's the new trend right? get smart just fell flat as a comedy and was boring because of the way the action was shot with lines trying to be said over explosions and chases. it's pretty much what happens at the end of Transformers. there's too much action to take in. and get smart is not supposed to focus mainly on action.

God no, please no, no more...

God yes, please yes, yes MORE!

I actually didn't mind the film, but that might be because I am a big fan of the TV series...

I did, however think there wasn't enough comedy compared to the action, but you have to take in to consideration how the younger generation need to be kept awake...

Hopefully this sequel is either Dr Yes, The Craw (Not Craw, CRAW!) which might be considered to racist for today, or a more comedic Seigfreid and Schtarker.

Also, the plot of using a bomb in the piano was also used in an episode of the first season of Get Smart, it was called "Hubert's Unfinished Symphony".

Works for me.

i would say No.

I don't care if the film didn't do the TV show justice. As someone who watched the film knowing only the lead actors involved and the theme tune from a Simpsons parody, I thought it was a very entertaining film. People are expecting too much of a tribute. If all it did was respect the original it would've been the new Superman Returns and still be hated upon.

Steve Carell is a stand-up kind of guy. He hasn't become an imbecile since his fame and remains to committed to people who helped him get there.

No No No.
I love Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway, and Get Smart was sort of fun, but I thought it was poorly written...

It was all right. I'd give a second one a chance.

Hathaway said she was down:

“I would love to do a second one. But I haven’t heard if we’re going to. I hope we get to. I really loved playing Agent 99, it would be fun to do all the training again, and hanging out with all those boys was so much fun.

“There are all sorts [of possibilities]. I’d like her to get into unexpected trouble. I’d love to see 99 lose control. I’d love to see something happen to 99 where her heart gets broken, and you see her have a complete emotional collapse. That could be really funny.”

I am up to see the new Get Smart Movie. They can improve the movie by adding more comedy and not killing someone with music. It was a good movie and when I was at the theater, average watchers really laughed a lot.

They did a Get Smart movie?

yo
let me tell you something
have you guys watched movies that have no story in them, just plain wierd and foolish comedy. There is no way you can make a series out of them but i consider that get smart was one of the most funniest movies that i have ever see. and i believe they should make a series out of it

Marcelo, IS Dwayne johnson in the sequel?

probibly not, he got killed i think on thetrail car thing

i remember the first time i saw the original series, there was always a laugh in there somewhere. granted the movie is alittle more action focused but i think that is a good thing. its nice to see a good plot line with a timeless classic. i for one hope to see a second movie and hopefully a third. people say that you cant change from the original but what do you call the dark knight, i say a better show of the joker than nicholson, and a better plot.(i myself didnt think it would be possible to over play nicholson but the late heath leadger pulled it of and destroyed the original) please oh please give more get smart. i agree with one of the comments made about the possible second film make the next villan the CRAW.

what is wrong with you guys. That is by far the funniest movie for sometime. I haven't watched the original series, and I suspect most of the reviewers (here or in media) are old time fans trying to catch their childhood. Yes it is true that killing the president with a nuclear bomb was stupid, but having a double agent as the leader of KAOS was even stupider. But other than that it was throughly written. Consider the case of putting the bomb next to the president. Normally, you wouldn't need to do that as it would have miles of effective range, but the writers themselves refer that fact in the movie. Max's character was not a fool I was expecting to see (like Inspector Clouse for example). In fact, all Max's dialogs were intelligent representing his intellectual qualities and observation skills. I had cries in my eyes laughing out loud. I could say that the plane's restroom scene is a classic. The only problem that I see is the movie's climate was oscillating between funny and action. In my opinion, continuously increasing fun is what most people are expecting.

Howdy y'all:
I am an old geezer of 46 years and I remember running home from school to catch the new episode of shows like Get Smart. Barbara Feldon was hot! Anne Hathaway was briliant casting for that part, as she is too.
This was the funniest movie I have seen in years. I also thought it followed the original TV show closer than most of the attempts to "make a movie out of a series". It was er... smart and well written. some people whine that there was too much action. If you look at the original Bond movies and shows like Mission Impossible or the Avengers, there wasn't this much action either. It wasn't the thing back then. Serious action is hard to film and they didn't have the technology to do it right back then. If they did, I am sure they would have. Like Rory said you have to keep these kids awake today. Smart writing doesn't do it any more. If you want to see a "Smart" movie that has no action at all: rent "Being there" with Peter Sellers. This is by far one of the funniest sleepers I have ever seen.
If you thought Napoleon Dinamite was funny and Get Smart wasn't, you need to GET SMART!!!!!!

i'm totally up for a get smart sequel, totally totally up for it. get smart was the best new movie i've seen in ages: steve carell's interpretation of maxwell smart was genius, it was funny as all hell, but above all, in my opinion, the movie bespoke a type of humanity that has been left far too neglected in this post-9/11, 'neoliberal' world. a humanity that takes as a central tenet the fact that we're not automatons, that we're not meant to be playing our 'A' game 24/7, that, deep inside each and every one of us, there resides an inner dumbarse, and right there beside that inner dumbarse, there is also integrity and nobility. the strength of get smart, for me, is how eloquently it revealed that there is no contradiction inherent within such dichotomy: it's merely a part of living as a decent human being...

i would also like to add in counterpoint to those who say that the get smart movie was too action-heavy: an element of the get smart movie that jumped out at me was how vehemently opposed it was to the shenanigans of the last couple of years - torture, militarism, 'cia crap'. if the movie had gone for a straight comedic approach, then that whole angle, which i believe to be integral to the movie's greatness, would have been tenuous, if not impossible. we live in a world where people like rumsfeld, bush and cheney strut around telling us how they believe they must be active in the defense of 'freedom'. by being action-heavy, the get smart movie demonstrated in (dramatised) practise alternatives to the gung-ho approaches of the last couple of years. it demonstrated how to protect a society's liberties without resorting to dalliances with 'the dark side', without putting at risk the integrity of our humanity.

finally, it would be great to see a get smart follow-up, because the get smart movie had a feeling of 'prequel' about it. the original series had the relation of maxwell smart and 99, as well as smart's modus operandi, already preset, after a fashion, whereas the movie took as it's step-off point the assumption of smart into this new world, which perhaps could be argued to imbue smart's character with a much greater depth, a depth which i hope may, in the fullness of time, be more fully fleshed out and appreciated.

get smart, the movie, was not, in my opinion, a movie made as a tribute to a classic series from yesteryear - it was this, of course, but much more. it was a movie our world needed to see, and i hope that this necessity shall be appreciated in its urgency in the fullness of time...

Personally, i laughed alot at this movie, for all the right reasons. It was quite well done. I sometimes wonder at the critics, are you all long time fans and are upset that they hadnt tried to clone the original series... maxwells silly voice and all? It was a movie, and carrell did his own version of max... i thought it was quite good. Not brilliant, but very good
