“The pointless remake affair”
I like Guy Ritchie, I am surprised he didn’t cast Jason Statham as Ilya.
Won’t be the same without Mr. Waverly, that’s for sure.

I looked this over on IMDB. They have Hugh Grant playing Waverly. This was indeed a huge childhood memory for me. I have the whole series box set and while some of it holds up you can see how it ran out of steam by the 4th season. The interplay rivalry between Solo and Kuryakin was the best part of the show imho and overall coolness from a child’s perspective in the 1960s. I was too young to see the Bond movies at the time but I caught up in the 70s. I have grave doubts about this movie but I will give Guy Ritchie a chance with this and see what he comes up with. The odds are against him though. Most of these remade tv shows as movies have been awful but there are a few exceptions.
