For those who saw the original series, this one's pretty good. The menace in the film, KAOS getting their hands on a weather control machine, is typical of the television show. Even to how they demonstrate that they have it.
The film has Maxwell a bit more smart than he was in the show, but just marginally. Some of the old gags have new twists, like the phone booth for access to Control Headquarters. Some of the newer gags are similar to the worst of the gags on the TV series.
There was an in-joke or two, including the bad guys treating their agents like baseball players, but the writing was, IMHO, a little strained.
Nevertheless, for the most part, the film captures a lot of the spirit of the old show. It's primarily for those who enjoyed the old series, but compared to some of the current television comedies, it still stands out.
