My blogposts these few days has been all about movies..but whatever...
Anyways, Get Smart was a weird movie. It was something between an action movie with a comedy. As in there was more action but less humour than expected. So I felt I got lost in the movie as I couldn't decide if I was to be wowed by the jokes or the action/fighting moves.
Plus, the plot actually makes sense. And Max (in the movie) was not rlly such a 'bumbling nincompoop'. He could freakin do splits and his analytic prowess were exceptional. I thought that his success would be all based on luck and luck alone. I guess this was where the comedy part fell short of. They sacrificed humour for an action-based plot. And Max was much too serious... I expected him to be a little more goofy and crazy...
Though they could have upped the humour factor by introducing a funny bad-guy... sadly they did not. And the plot was about uranium/nuclear bombs... the kind of plot which 007 has excelled in. It should have been something like laughing bombs or evil robot Disney toys or anything more uniquely humorous. Though I do appreciate certain modern day references in their jokes.
Personally, I got attracted to the action part more than the jokes... how disappointing for a self-proclaimed comedy... or perhaps I had already laughed my ass off while watching the trailers.
