Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

michaelbauers I am rating this to up the rating. And reviewing it, just to add my piece of mind.First off, the french teacher. Hilarious. Best part of the whole movie. "I want all references to the operative, the french teacher." Next, the dialog. It's funny. Most of the time, it's great. At least I find it funny most of the time.The lead actor did a pretty good job. He's as flat as a pancake. But I think he's supposed to be a superficial high school student. They could have made him a bit more bright. He does save the day in the end. And it would be slightly more believable if he came across as a bit brighter from the start. But, you know, it's a comedy. You can't be too critical.I realize this is sort of a demographic movie. I am sure it's aimed at teens as a fantasy. At 45 though, I still appreciate a mindless fantasy/comedy/adventure. And this is a pretty good one. I think it deserves a better rating - I rate movies with based on similar movies. I don't compare this to Das Boot, for example. I compare it to say, Hackers or something like that.

SnakeEclipse1403 This movie was okay. I've seen it a couple of times and it's all right. The one-liners in the movie are the best part, but they do hurt it by overdoing them. The action sequence at the end is enjoyable. I only wish they didn't take Mrs. Grober, a complete wuss in one act and turn her into an over-amped, wanna-be, confident fighter. It just didn't work. The only acting worth crediting is that of Marishka's. The only character who acts her role out well. The plot is original and good which made it a little more watchable. Oh, and did they really have to underuse the Lotus. Come on, we see him screwing around with the gadgets while not even trying to get into too much conflict with the bad guys. So there's one guy chasing him. Do we give a rat's ***? No. If they had almost the whole force on him, then there's something worth watching. Steranko is just plain annoying at times. I wish that that what's her face short lady was the main bad guy(girl). At least she's more intimidating than this tall wimp. One last thing, the helicopter and the fire at the end. Can anyone say,"too much?" I mean a blade going off on its own is the weirdest thing ever, even for a movie. And the fire; I didn't know it could spread so fast in under 3 minutes. Plus, you can tell in the far away shot of the castle at the end when it on fire that it is pure model or something like that. Thank God for CGI these days. 5/10

bob the moo High school student Michael Corben has to accompany his class on a trip to France to get enough credit to pass his class. However at the airport he gets confused with an American agent and gets caught up in a plot to stop Steranko from taking over the known world via his fiendish plot. But can Michael adapt before his shortcomings find him out?This film went under the much better title of `Teen Agent' when I saw it recently. It's a much better title simply because it better describes what this is – a James Bond for teens and older pre-teens. As such we see our teenager sucked into the spy game and doing better than all the adults around him. The plot is just what you'd expect and it throws up the odd laugh or reasonable action scene. However it's nothing special and it's done better in things like Spy Kids etc.The cast is OK but all take it too seriously. Grieco is one of the worst actors on God's earth to me. However here he works well, mainly because his eyebrows give him a bemused look that fits with the tongue in cheek plot that's going on around him. The only thing that is worth noting however is that he was actually in his late 20's when he played this role! Rees is a typical greasy bad guy but plays it too straight – I'd like to have seen more of his Sheriff of Nottingham in the role! Anwar is sexy even when she was a lot younger and Roger Daltrey makes an interesting cameo – why, I don't know, but he's there!Overall young teenagers will enjoy this simply because it's an average action comedy with a spy twist. However it's nothing special and the rest of us will happily await the next REAL Bond movie and take a pass on this low rent substitute.

Martini_Boy I dare anyone and I do mean ANYONE to watch this movie and tell me that they did not enjoy it. Grieco may have had a dud or two in his career, but he knocked this one out of the park. Gabrielle Anwar is ridiculously hot in this flick, and everyone involved gives career performances. Grieco's Michael Corben is up there with Olivier's Hamlet. That sounds stupid. I have overstated my point, but answer me this, would you rather see Grieco or Olivier as MICHAEL CORBEN: french club reject. Whoever said sir Larry is a liar. Trust me, this baby ROCKS. Sure no one involved looks like high school students, but that's okay. It's a movie that isn't trying to take itself seriously so it's cool.Seriously, see this movie and you will not be sorry. The experienced will be enhanced if you have a martini or two (but only if you're legal!)while you watch, but that is my only advice.If Looks Could Kill? Indeed, I believe they can.
