I just keep watching the previews on YouTube...

I really, really want to see this but I have to wait till I can buy it. No way I can go to the theater.

I want to see it for all the reasons. But yeah, I'll probably secretly check out some of the fic afterwards. >.>;

BTW, I wonder how the original UNCLE fandom is taking this? Will they be upset??

[elaminator]

I feel like the answer to “Will the original fandom be upset?" is always yes and no. I'm not familiar with the show, but I've seen people who hate the thought of this existing and others who are excited for it and the new fans it will bring in.

[tree_and_leaf]

It bears very little resemblance to the original MUNCLE other than the character names (and nationalities). I thought it was a lot of fun, but it's a pretty violent reboot.

[elaminator]

Ah, I've heard that it captures the spirit of the original but that the characters are pretty different. It doesn't surprise me; a lot of these reboots are that way.

And of course, violence sells. (I can't even say I'm not buying in.)

As many have said, it's similar to the Star Trek fandom in that regard.

Certainly some people who loved the original feel that what made the original so delightful was lost in the remake.

Some people who have never seen the original love the remake.

Some people love both.

In other words, fandom as usual.

I can't claim to be part of the original fandom, but my mom was and owns the entire series on DVD. I've watched quite a bit of it with her, though, and I enjoyed the movie. It's definitely not the show (especially Armie Hammer who is a COMPLETELY different Illya) but for what it is I think it's fun, and it does capture the humor of the original show.

For what it's worth I believe David McCallum (original Illya Kuryakin) has gone on record supporting it.

Augh, I adored Illya in the original series, so now I'm really concerned about nu!Illya...

Nah, don't be anon. This film is so cute. I just loved it. I was in love with Ilya when I was a child and into my early teens. Adored the show.
But the film is great, it's not the same, but evokes the period so well, has lots of humour, and the chemistry between the actors is wonderful.

The movie did change some things, but the spirit of the original is still there.

From what I understand most of the show's fandom seems to like it, though obviously not as much as the original. Some are more bothered by the changes than others. A few really despise the whole thing. But I think the fandom was pretty open-minded going into it, they knew things were going to be different and were just excited that something they loved was getting attention again.

I'm an old fan of the show and I liked it. Armie Hammer's character wasn't really recognizable as Illya, but Henry Cavill was very Napoleon Solo, so that kind of evened out. And it was a lot of silly fun, with good action. I would see a sequel.
