Description

Set against the backdrop of the early 1960s, at the height of the Cold War, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. centers on CIA agent Solo (Henry Cavill) and KGB agent Kuryakin (Armie Hammer). Forced to put aside longstanding hostilities, the two team up on a joint mission to stop a mysterious international criminal organization, which is bent on destabilizing the fragile balance of power through the proliferation of nuclear weapons and technology. The duo's only lead is the daughter of a vanished German scientist, who is the key to infiltrating the criminal organization, and they must race against time to find him and prevent a worldwide catastrophe.

Great movie. One of the best by Director Guy Ritchie. Way underrated. It’s got humor, action, suspense, and good twists. Great cast too. Love watching this one. Wish they would have made more of these.

The film, fashion, characters and acting are brilliant. It's incredibly fun. I think for some people, the period, which is also a character, doesn't resonate - because they've only known "now." Well yes, if a never travelled, never read, imagionation less mobile phone app slave, you won't like this.

as a fan of the original I just could not get into this version..absolutely no feeling..no chemistry between the actors..just a paycheck...nothing to make it in any way feel like the original..just going by the numbers..a bit of car chase here, some gun play there..loud angry spy master cliche...maybe I missed it but not even the famous short barrel P-38....and Illya..a psychopath nut job pretty much with the sense of humor of a goat...Napolean...might as well been a stick with a tennis ball as a head...avoid..run away..scurry flee...if you want to see this movie..just hit your self in the face with a small shovel and it will save you the time and the rental fee...seriously..

I just hope that whoever is in charge of keeping a franchise alive is reading this right now. I rarely write reviews but I had to get my voice out there in the hopes that it directly influenced the decision to make a follow up. The chemistry between all of the major stars as well as the secondary ones was something to be wished for in all movies and I loved every minute of this masterpiece. Never saw the original but I'll definitely seen it out just for another taste. Thank you Hollywood. Not something I say lightly.

I love old spy, cop and espionage shows. Despite how campy, bad or easily resolved the plots may be, sometimes it's fun to just go along with the flavor of a Mission Impossible Series opening or a Man From U.N.C.L.E episode (bad judo chops and all). That being said I enjoyed this movie and I think they captured the flavor of those old shows. I like Arnie Hammer and Henry Cavill together and I think they knocked their accents and chemistry out of the park. There were definitely some very dry scenes, some slow moments, and plenty of questionable film making decisions by Ritchie, but I think the good in this movie outweights the bad. I debating on whether or not to buy it, but it is definitely worth a rent or two depending on your mood.

Yeah!

If Guy Ritchie would only stop acting like a freshman film major who just discovered the zoom on his camera, this movie would have been near perfect.
Everyone seems to be having a great time. The characters genuinely seem to like each other. There's a nostalgic, glamorous haze to the proceedings.
And yet Ritchie can't resist the temptation to Guy Ritchie his movie to death. The zoom in and out shots, the music, the "hurry up let's reveal the clever thing the character missed" montage ending. It's so distracting. And unlike, say, Quention Tarantino, Ritchie can't get away with loudly plopping himself down in the middle of his own movie and announcing "Look at me! Look at me! I'm a director." Or perhaps more to the point, Tarantino whispers it, while Ritchie screams.
Look, it's a buddy film. It's a fun remake, and that's all it is. Just let it be that.
Otherwise, it's still quite enjoyable, much better than Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, which is equally obnoxious while being far more played out.

I like B movies. Style and action and silliness and sexiness and plots designed to merely connect one exploitive scene to another. Bring’em on. But this is a cynical pastiche of a B movie. The acting is so stilted I actually started thinking about the acting. The action has no suspense because — who cares? We’ve been given nothing to care about. I think everyone was miscast because it looks like they’re rehearsing with one another, not talking to one another. And while the over-snazzy style is almost fun (think Ocean’s 11), here is looks like dress up rather than being organic to the story. It was actually boring. I tried watching it while working on a document on the other side of the screen and in the end chose the document. Oy.

Good director makes bad movie to buy a new house. The acting is horrible, but everyone is so consistently bad, it much be the director to blame. I like that director. The number of glowing reviews here makes me suspect studio PR office tampering. Most newspaper reviews panned it. Don't waste your money. I turned it off at the 20 minute mark because it was SO obviously a train wreck. Stylish films this badly written are just embarrassing. Worst thing I've seen in a while. The Black and white TV show is actually watchable, unlike this overstaged, train accident.

I saw this in the theatre initially, and must admit that I went rather begrudgingly as I was not a big Guy Ritchie fan (sorry, Guy). I was expecting endless banter and characters trying too hard. But then, something wonderful unfolded…a witty, action-packed film with great characters. I concur with others that this is better than anything the original TV show offered. Absolutely blows the original away. The characters and story in the movie are more enthralling. The chase scenes are so brilliantly filmed, as are the scenes which provide tension and growth between the characters. Since it came out on video, I have now watched it close to 5 times and each time I notice more clever layers, dialogue with double meanings, the restraint of what to show and what not to show. I guess I am a convert now -- Guy Ritchie, you are moving into a new realm of storytelling with your talent. I hope you continue to lend your gifts to this series. I would love to see a trilogy of films with more of these characters. An absolute must-see movie that never got it's due when it was out in the theater!!

In love with this movie!

I'm a fan of GR and his movies. The style, the story and the characters are enjoyable to me as well as the world they inhabit.
Take that winning formula and add it to a 60's spy movie where two bitter enemies need to work together to save the world and you have a great movie to watch.
I pre-ordered it and when it arrived I watched it three times back to back. The characters just worked so well together, the chemistry was brilliant.
Great work GR, can't wait to see the sequel.

I don't usually write reviews, but this movie deserves one. Great characters, especially Alicia Vikander. Cavill and Hammer are both awesome, and the addition of Hugh Grant is fun. Debicki is perfect in her role as well. The movie has a great combination of characters that are fun to watch, humor, style, and action, and the result is something that is a joy to watch. Repeatedly. It will be a crime if they don't make a sequel.

I think people nowadays think that all movies have to be the same boring, gritty, reality-based that a lot of movies seem to be. So they went into Man from UNCLE expecting a gritty spy drama like Bourne Identity and what they got was a brilliant piece of 60s Spy flick that was so absolutely brilliantly done that they couldn’t grasp what they were seeing. “Why are people making jokes when their lives are on the line?” “Why does the style of this movie look so freaking awesome? This is 2015! Movies aren’t supposed to be stylish!” Stuff like that.
If you want Bourne or Bond, look somewhere else. This is the Man from UNCLE, and it is such a delight to watch from start to finish. This is the way spies are meant to be—glamorized beyond compare. Guy Ritchie, you’re a brilliant director—thank you for this masterpiece! I hope there’s a sequel, but I doubt that will happen. Still, at least we have this!

It is refreshing to see a movie that restructures, rethinks and improves on an original. Like many people we thought the movie might be a disappointment. As camp and mostly predictable as the original Man From U.N.C.L.E. was, it was still something we grew up with. We were greatly surprised at the originality of the reboot. This is a fun film, and most of the predictable nuances of the original show have been clever reworked into a retro masterpiece that includes stronger Illya and more restrained and cultured Solo characters, makes for a very fun show.
This movie may be predictive of the future of reboots. This would be a good thing!
We hope more producers decide to add to, rather than detract from, original creativity. Bravo!

By far the best and most entertaining movie I have seen all year Guy Richie created a masterpiece, mixing all the right amounts of style, intrigue, action, and humour. As a fan of the originals I think this is a fitting tribute and great improvement. It has a very enjoyable plot too.
But to iTunes I would say why did you change the poster This one is terrible compared to the original.

I may only be twenty-two, but I watched and enjoyed the original TV show while growing up. Guy Ritchie took the premise of the show and made it better! I love what he did with this remake! The cinematography was astoundingly beautiful, and I greatly enjoyed the actors quality performance and development of their characters, the latter of which was sadly lacking in the old show. Of comedy there was plenty, but not of the overly ridiculous and fantastical kind which the original show was criticized for. It was certainly a more polished and subtly sarcastic humor that easily accompanied the tense scenes and serious material without detracting from the content or appearing out of place. I took my sister to see the movie in spite of her doubts of its being enjoyable. Not even five minutes into the film she was delighted out of her normal composure, and by the end of the film was entirely thrilled and regretted not coming with me sooner. An admirable addition to the spy genre, and the first film I have ever loved enough to preorder.

Excellent!!!

Saw it on a warm, relaxed Sunday afternoon in a local theatre. Wonderfully relaxed action film. Very little tension at any point, quite fun, very retro-stylish. Lots of humor, but no gags exactly. Bond films swing between bull fights and brothels. This movie is champagne and caviar on a Mediterranean beach. I don't know that I've seen anything like it before. I hope they make a sequel because I want more.

I saw this movie with friends today and it was excellent. They mix violence and humor in the perfect way and they display sexuality as it should be displayed in movies (tastefully and elegantly) I highly suggest this and hope you enjoy!

Great Humor

While slow here and there, they did a great job with this film! There were countless funny moments and they did a great job of skipping what could have been long winded fight scenes fight scenes by breaking it into an almost comic book like format. I give this film a five star rating. I was highly entertained by the leading guys and the humor integrated into the film. Great job. Has an almost Archer-like comedy feel to it.

great movie
