I actually forgot they got it together. I thought the project was dead until I heard about this trailer.

Not sure if I'll go out to see it but the 60's feel was pretty great. Cavill's take was pretty funny although it seems like a role suited perfectly for Gabriel Macht.

More interested now than I was before the trailer but still might be a rental.

I loved watching this show as a kid. I like that they decided to make it a period piece set in the 1960s. But...I'm not too sure about the rest. The trailer doesn't look compelling to me. Unless it gets great reviews and some buzz, I might wait for Netflix.

My brother and I really enjoyed this shit.

Everyone here is clearly having a good time. Hammer & Cavill make a great pair. I've never been impressed with Cavill until now. He plays dashing well & looked like Superman more in this than he did in Man of Steel.

Viklander is sexy (as always) & Elizabeth D. did good job of juggling sexy, threatening, intimidating & deadly well.

Seriously hope this gets a sequel. Guy Ritchie back y'all.

If Spectre & Bridge of Spies is good then we'd have 6 excellent spy films this year.

Obviously nothing special, but it's pretty people with pretty costumes, a witty script, and slinky period music. This is more or less why people go to the movies during the summer, for escapist fare like this.

Stylistically, it fits the bill. Conceptually, without a proven star or a name that kids recognize... yeah, I don't know why it was greenlit with the budget that it had. It's hard to get asses into seats without a star/name-brand property.

(Well, I think I know why-- because it was being developed with CROOZE, then he dropped, so they figured, fuck it, see this thing through... but yeah, not good for them.)
