In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities.

While I could never have thought of any replacements from the original, these seem to be a good cast.

Carell(EVAN almighty)
Ann Hathaway(Princess diarys)
The Rock
Bill Murray (many movies)

I didn't know that Anne Hathaway was Agent 99. I saw the movie poster at the theatre. Didn't recognize her.

I only knew because of the list of credits.
I was like, what? Thats not...wait, yes it is.:yum: :D

Saw the trailer on Disney channel.

Looks good. Like the beginning of the team or something.
Can't wait to see it. Might just have to see it first weekend.(I have not seen many movies in the first week, and only one Star war movies the opening day.

I don't like standing in lines and beign cramped in a theater.

:clap: :clap:

When I first heard about this movie I wasn't all too thrilled about it, but if Anne Hathaway is in it, then I might have to go see it. She appears to be one of the few young Hollywood starlets that actually cares if she has a movie career in 20 years :(

I loved this show growing up for some odd reason. Perhaps it was due to a slight crush on Barbara Feldon... but thats a different story for a different day.

I watched the trailers.... and I don't mean to be a hater of any sorts - but it looks like its gonna be a big letdown. It didn't look like it had the same style as the old show ... and it looked too modernized. Almost as if they are trying to put it into a box it doesn't fit in. (Thats the only reason I have mixed feelings on Transformers... I'm not sure how appropriate the love story was. And believe me, the Transformers raised me as a kid!)

Don't get me wrong - I'm still gonna see it. I'm just not easily amused.

She seems to be a good stand in for the original 99(feldon).

It might be a let down, but it won't be because of lack of talent.
This seems to be the dream team of stars. The only failing could be in writing, maybe in the interaction of characters. But alone they seem to fit the roles.

I love the scene with Max facing a villian, and he throws the phone at him and the cord stops it, and pulls it back.

You need to start watching the office... he's hilarious.

the BBC > USA version

Well. I hope I'm wrong about this - because I loved the show. You're probably right about the direction of the writing. Maybe I'll do more research on that in the near future.

The rock did start out with the evil minion not talent roles, but he has done some
good films.
The football movie, with the little girl(my kis loved it, but I can't think of its name.)

If they are truly doing a "Smart movie" not just "another Brady movie" type of movie, I think they will have a hit. If they just show one stupid scene after another with no point, then they will fail.
