Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Steineded How sad is this?

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

punishmentpark In the beginning I wasn't very impressed. Sure, there are some fun gadgets and nice settings, it's properly filmed (though it could have done with some more close-ups here and there) and it has some funny moments, but Coburn isn't the ideal spoof agent in my opinion (though he gets away with it) and the story isn't all that interesting.But the fun increases, there's more and more fun gadgets and some amazing settings (especially within the volcano), the story is quite inventive (I checked, but the Club of Rome wasn't founded until two years later, and I wonder how much environmental issues were 'seriously' being addressed here) and Coburn grew on me; check out his confrontation with the Bald Eagle, his de-programming slogan ''You are not a pleasure unit.'' (only to end up with five beautiful units swarming around him) and his inventive fighting abilities (or simply hiding in plain sight) - it's pretty much hilarious.There are some interesting things brought forward in the topic 'Were the scientists actually well-intentioned?', but I find it hard to read this one; it appeals to too many different sides of a human being to be a proper pamphlet of any kind. But it's not really a problem; it's a lot of fun and if you want to think about it, you can do that as well.7 out of 10.

Scott LeBrun As the James Bond series debuted in the 1960s and had its great success, out came the imitators and the parodies, and "Our Man Flint" is a pretty good example of those particular genres. It's not quite good enough to really make it something special, but it's solid entertainment just the same, with enough laughs to sustain it for the duration.The movie does offer what could be considered quintessential James Coburn: the film star is every inch the dashing, charismatic hero, playing world renowned secret agent Derek Flint, who works for Z.O.W.I.E. (!); this stands for Zonal Organization World Intelligence Espionage. He's the only man who can possibly save the world when the terrorist organization Galaxy starts manipulating its weather. He's a little too self interested to give a hoot at first (You can't entirely blame him. He's surrounded by four gorgeous gal pals.), but soon realizes he must get involved.As directed by Daniel Mann, this movie does have just the right tone. It's frequently funny and thus easy to watch. It's very colourful and well designed entertainment, extremely well shot in CinemaScope and accompanied by a peppy Jerry Goldsmith music score. It definitely could have used more action, though, and it moves a little slow before picking up its momentum for an exciting finish. Its scenery attractions are most effective, especially Gila Golan, a stunner of an actress who plays bad girl Gila. It's got cool gadgets, such as the lighter with over 80 functions. The supporting cast is great, from Lee J. Cobb as Flints' frustrated superior to Edward Mulhare as intimidating villain Malcolm Rodney to Benson Fong, Rhys Williams, and Peter Brocco as the trio of scientists running things. Audiences are also certain to get a chuckle out of the fact that one of the bad guys is named Hans Gruber, 22 years before Alan Rickman played a man by that name in the action classic "Die Hard".Overall, this is worth watching for any fan of espionage, adventure, and comedy. Coburn is just so much damn fun as Flint that he makes it impossible to resist. It was followed, predictably enough, by a sequel, "In Like Flint", and even a TV movie (with Ray Danton as Flint) a decade later.Seven out of 10.

jc-osms I had high hopes for this spy spoof from the mid 60's given its supposed influence on Austin Powers and all, but in truth it's pretty tame and very dated. James Coburn brings a neat Zen-type coolness to the title part but there's very little for him to play against here. There's no evil megalomaniac to lock horns with, indeed the three scientists who invent the weather controlling machine which threatens the world do seem to actually mean it when they say they're doing it for the greater good and even the protagonist Rodney character, besides looking like Michael Caine's older brother carries almost no physical threat whatsoever to our hero so that their fight near the end doesn't even qualify as anti-climactic.It goes without saying that the females in the cast are mere decoration, scantily clad in the main, subservient to Flint's every whim, almost literally "pleasure units" for the male viewers delight. There's an absence of real action or tension throughout while the mock up miniature sets showing the effects of nature in revolt or the exploding island at the end are ridiculously obvious and the fight sequences similarly very lame indeed. Leave it to Sean...

gridoon2018 Of all the cinematic characters that were born in the 1960's (and later) as a result of the huge commercial success of the James Bond movies, Derek Flint is probably the most widely known (along with Matt Helm). However, when you sit down to watch "Our Man Flint", the first of his two vehicles, you'll find out that it's closer in quality to the many Euro-spy flicks of the decade rather than the official Bond entries. Although the movie does boast vivid colors and very impressive, large-scale sets, it seems that most of the budget went into building and then destroying those sets. The locations include New York, Marseilles and Rome, but you would hardly know it since most of the action takes place indoors. And speaking of action, there is little of that in "Our Man Flint". There are several fight scenes (which James Coburn executes very well), and lots of explosions at the end, but the rest of the time the movie plods. As a woman assigned to kill Flint, Gila Golan is dazzlingly gorgeous, but it is rather obvious that she will join his side by the end. And then there are the conflicted "politics" of the movie: Flint's biggest objection to the scheme of the "evil" scientists to control the weather and create a new world seems to be that they want to use women as robot-like "pleasure units"; at the same time, he has his own private harem, made of four beautiful women who are ready to serve his every wish (obviously the movie was well behind its time). At the end - SPOILER - he blows up the island where GALAXY's headquarters are, and rescues ONLY the women that he knows; what happens to all the other women who were being programmed as "pleasure units"? He doesn't seem to care. Flint is just not a very likable character. (**)
