The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

Great movie
Henry Cavill is rocking. Other co stars too. The storyline is good sometimes slow yet entertaining and keeps you gelled in front of screen.

Excellent Product!
Shining blu-ray transfer with a punchy audio. Though a box office flop, I enjoy the film to an extent. Its a great late night watch with pop corn and snacks to accompany. The blu-ray was delivered in pristine condition, thanks to the seller.

Beginning of a new series, or...?
The film has some of the most wooden actors working together, with the story being totally improbable, the script being somewhat insipid, and the music totally uninspiring. Nevertheless, while this film can never attain the sharp wit & panache that used to be the hallmark of the original series, with Guy Richie at the helms it manages to negotiate the curves of storyline with some finesse, and some throbbing passion that succeeded in covering the deficiency of humour to a considerable aspect. The fact that I liked the movie ought to be evident from m=not only the rating, but also from my overt desire for a sequel. I hope that would convince you to give this film a try.Recommended.

Pure Fun!
So wonderful! I laughed and laughed and it was all so visually gorgeous - the sets, the clothes, the hair, the make-up, the cast... All just perfect. This is a movie that doesn't take itself overly seriously (like Bonds or MIs) and is wittily funny and exciting. Doesn't get caught up in overly complicated drama to delude the audience into thinking it's clever. Develops interesting and fun characters that are incredibly endearing. I completely fell in love with Ilya played by Armie Hammer - so charmingly acted! And no one could more perfectly embody the sound and look of the time than Henry Cavill as Solo - the way he pronounced Nazi and his vocal prosody! While Alicia Vikander has such star quality and loads of classic Hollywood moxie. And her character Gabby (who has the most fabulous wardrobe) is a great inclusion to the UNCLE universe. Loved Hugh Grant's character - small part but he steals his scenes with great dialogue so amusingly delivered. I don't think I've ever enjoyed him more! Basically, GREAT cast. Also, wonderful direction - liked the incorporation of retro shots and transitions. Conclusion, watch this film.Such an undervalued/unknown gem. I honestly think people didn't know what they were missing! I've seen film reviews that said it was stupid or cheesy, but I don't think it crosses the line into cheesy, though it comes adorably close. This is actually a very clever film with charmingly dry dialogue and great characters. Anything so funny requires loads of intelligence - particularly when so much of the humor is based on character relations and is very tongue and cheek, recognizing the stereotypes and silliness of the day and incorporating them in a way that allows us to laugh at the ridiculousness (all the overlapping, conflicting, selfish agendas), yet in a nice way. It's just simple, pure, golden fun. I think the main popularity problem is that it was under advertised - people didn't know what it was. Another contributing factor is probably that the humor style is in more of an English style than American - aka, it doesn't have to stoop to being crass, loud, gross, or raunchy. If you can't appreciate this film's humor, it's just a sad loss to you.Anyways, this film is great! Do give it a try - everyone I've talked to that saw it at least enjoyed it and most loved it. I hope they make a sequel, but just as its single self, it is exquisite - and I'm so glad they made it. You know how people didn't get The Princess Bride when it was in theaters yet it became huge when it came out on video and word of mouth spread? This is a movie with that same quality of misunderstood, under recognized greatness. Hopefully the word of mouth spreads so people can enjoy it. Because it really is just joyful!

Way too much fun
I cannot explain it but I absolutely adore this movie. Guy Ritchie seems to have the whole frenemy dynamic down to perfection. I never saw the original show so I don't know how it compares to that, but the chemistry between the lead actors is absolutely delightful. The stunts are fun; the costumes, gorgeous; the casting, spot-on. I have seriously fallen in love with Armie Hammer as Ilya and will never be satisfied seeing him in any role in which he doesn't have a Russian accent. Henry Cavill, who I really did not care for as Superman, is perfect as Napoleon Solo. Alicia Vikander, who I first noticed in "Ex Machina," is incredibly adept at combining vulnerability and strength. Elizabeth Debicki reminds me of a slinky, sensual, well-groomed cat and does a masterful job at combining sexual charisma with pure evil. Hugh Grant is, of course, Hugh Grant. 'Nuff said. It's not a movie of great depth but it is, instead, a fun romp that never takes itself too seriously. The stunts are fresh, the dialogue has spice, and the acting is just so much fun to watch. I sincerely hope Ritchie directs a second installment or I will be sorely disappointed. Between this movie and "Kingsman", I'm going to wear out my Blu-Ray player because there's just something about both movies that makes me want to watch them again and again and again. In fact, neither movie has yet to find their place in my disc racks because I watch them so often. Oh, did I mention how much I love this movie? ;-)

Fun movie, perfect for "date night" viewing with the spouse.
I rented this movie at Redbox and enjoyed it so much I purchased the Blu Ray. I NEVER watched the old Man from UNCLE TV series so I can't compare the film to the show. Guy Ritchie does a great job putting together an extremely fun and easy to follow story. Cavill and Hammer are excellent as the leads. Cavill is very charismatic as Solo. I'd love to seem him get to carry some of that charm into his Superman role. Hammer is a menace as Kuryakin...and I mean that as a complete compliment. The two of them play PERFECTLY off of each other. Solo derisively calling Kuryakin "Red Peril" and Kuryakin calling Solo "Cowboy" instead of their real names is a humorous nice touch. There are a lot of fun scenes in this movie with a few laugh out loud moments. The action scenes (especially the first car chase scene and the speedboat scene) are very well done. Vikander as Gaby is also very good. She plays very well as the reluctant love interest to Kuryakin. This was a fun action movie that BOTH a husband AND a wife can enjoy. Too bad I don't think the reviews and box office will earn this one a sequel, because I think this movie provided a nice base to build from.
