Better yet,, watch the original 1960s TV series. All 82 episodes are now on DVD. (21 volumes, each with 2-3 episodes per DVD), can be had relatively cheap at Amazon.com.
Some of the television firsts started by this TV series:
first TV show to have an African-American in a dramatic leading role (Bill Cosby).
all 82 episodes have unique musical scores. A limited-edition score of the original TV series is available at
www.filmscoremonthly.com .
much of the production was filmed on location.
I Spy was also the 'prototype' for the 'buddy' action dramas on television.
Starsky and Hutch in the '70s and
Miami Vice in the '80s being but a couple of examples.
I'll probably see the movie but being raised on the original TV series, it might not meet my expectations. But watch it to enjoy!
Gotta continue my tradition of watching the next James Bond movie on opening day, as I have for the past 25 years -
Die Another Day November 22!
