Review by GEORGE R WARBURTON
I remembered the original series (though I did get it confused with the spy series Get Smart and found myself wondering why they didn't call the woman 99, and the Russian organization Control). Even when it was over I wondered. I considered that maybe there was a sequel. They'll name them then. Two days later I clued in. So I thought. Okay. Fine. Still an excellent movie. Very well done, and it was much more memorable than the original Man from Uncle, which (for me) could not hold a flame to Get Smart.
That being said, let me say this so you don't have to: Get Smart was a comedy. This one isn't.
