I enjoyed Get Smart but I thought they did a disservice to the fans by making it a weird kind of prequel to the show. I don't know. The portrayal of Maxwell Smart didn't sit right with me, as much as I love Steve Carell. I thought he should have been goofier like on the TV Series...not so serious. The whole "I used to be fat" thing? Lame.
Anne Hathaway was totally gorgeous as Agent 99, though. That was pretty awesome. I really liked the movie, I just didn't enjoy what they did to Maxwell Smart.

I was really excited to see it, but all of the reviews I've read in magazines/papers/etc. have been downers, so I was considering saving this movie for later. I do love Steve Carrell though, and if this movie is actually worth it, I might go before it leaves theaters. XD
the shoe phone (it's like lol shoe phone wut? everyone has cell phones now!).
The swordfish scene was one of the greatest scenes I've ever seen in a film.

[SPOILER]DUH and Max KNEW that hence why he rigged the shoe phone to trace to his cell phone so that he could call the Chief without being located, so it DID work. :p[/spoiler]
However I agree with you that the Cone of Silence just wasn't a very good scene.

Besides, MEL BROOKS, one of the guys who CREATED the original TV series, said it was good! When the guy WHO MADE THE ORIGINAL SHOW says it's good, then critics have absolutely no right to say "It isn't the TV show so it sucks." Mel Brooks should go to those critics and smack them with a shoe phone.
