This is a shocking disappointment in my opinion, i didnt go to see this movie however i expected it to do much better considering the amount of hype surrounding it. However i personally contribte alot of this lack of success to dont go messing with the Zohan, because the initial comedic feeling is very similar.

:-? Michael Myers in various roles and Verne Troye as a little person has already been done before, and people would rather see something new (though, ironically, the #1 this week is based off an old show).

[SubstanceD]

I'm sad to hear that although it doesn't come as a big shock to me. As much as I like Mike Myers, this wasn't one of the movies I was looking forward to seeing this year, I don't even know if it is out in Europe yet ( I don't think this movie has gotten any hype or build up at all over here ). I think it kind of got lost in the shuffle with all the Hollywood blockbusters that come out this time of year ( Iron Man, Incerdible Hulk, Hellboy 2, Batman, etc ).

Seeing the previews just really didn't do much for me, it almost came off as Borat-like. Didn't seem like the movie would go beyond one-liners and such, but I can't judge because I obviously didn't see the movie. Apparently, others thought the same given the box office values this weekend.

Besides, Get Smart wins. <3 Steve Carrell.

Get Smart looks kinda stupid to me. I like Steve Carrell and all but the premise of the movie just seems tired and stupid.

I took my kids to see Kung Fu Panda and laughed my ass off for quite a bit of the film, Dreamworks animation ftw. I wasn't expecting much from it, the premise seemed sorta lame, but they did the right things right and I was owned.

I would love to see the Love Guru, but seriously, The Incredible Hulk and Kung Fu Panda wer really great movies, so yeah.

[NPCMook]

Its because the movie was pretty much just Austin Powers' jokes all over again.

[Frana]

I saw the previews and hated it from the start. It looked pretty lame and yeah, it did just look like a recycled Austin Powers movie. (Wouldn't mind another one of those as long as it didn't suck, though)

[Tomeeboy]

I can see how this movie would do poorly, and agree that it just kind of looked like another Austin Powers. If people watch a movie preview and feel like they've already seen everything the movie has to offer, I don't think that generally creates an urge to rush out to the theatre on opening weekend.

[Sekani]

Get Smart is the worst movie on that list. There is no justice.

[NPCMook]

The only problem with Get Smart was the lack of Don Adams, R.I.P.

Hulk FTW!
