I love this movie so much...I only wish I could recommend it to anyone! Well, I can, but I have to know them pretty well...
Ask yourself some questions...do you get queasy easily? Do films ever leave emotional scars for you? Or are you able to look at blood n guts? If you can take it, see this movie...
Like Edward Norton's character, when you see this movie you're asking someone to punch you as hard as you can, and it can make a profound impact. Some people may not enjoy this...

It's a shame that I didn't like this movie at all, because I'm a huge Bond fan, and I love the Austin Powers movies if for no other reason than for their Bond reference. I watched Our Man Flint because I wanted to understand A.P. even better (I saw Man of Mystery just after seeing all the Connery Bond movies...it's really something).
Anyway, Flint is the most annoying, pretentious, unlikeable character ever. The villains, in contrast, are sort of likeable...they just want to put an end to nuclear armament, or failing that, at least keep the innovative equipment they have, but Flint won't let them do either. Of course I guess that's the whole point, but it's still hard to watch a movie where the main character is such a jerk. He even has a harem! It's really disgusting!
In James Bond's defense, yes, he's got skills. He can be pretentious a lot of the time. But he's fallible, which makes him a good character. He's an alcoholic, and he gives into his own sexual desire way too much. He's got all sorts of problems...his wife even died. He's an interesting character. Flint, however...I mean, I was literally hoping someone would kill him.
One thing that almost makes this movie worth watching: the James Bond character, 0007 I think. He's hilarious. It's not even the character, really, but the book that the girl reads, with 0007's picture on the cover...he has this big goofy smile.

This is the movie that made me realize I should stop reading internet reviews of movies. Have you ever noticed that every review on the internet is either "best movie ever" or "so bad I walked out, and I was on an airplane"? It just plain wasn't that bad. I liked it. It was fun. Good opening sequence, neat music (there's another thing: why does everyone hate the Will Smith song?! It's just not that bad!!!), really cool huge spider... And the humor was great! Name me another movie, besides Southpark, which unabashadly mocks racism and disability prejudices. Why does everyone hate this movie? Did they walk into it expecting to hate it? Is this some sort of hate bandwagon?
The bottom line: stop trusting the opinions of people on the internet. (yes, I am aware of the paradox here) Watch the movie and form your own independant opinion, if these extremists haven't already ruined it for you.
