The movie is lacking energy and charm, but still may satisfy you at hot summer evening. Just relax and don't expect too much.
Although I can't belive Guy Ritchie really made this, far below his level.

Not the best spy movie, but undeniably a good one none the less. With action scenes that get your hear racing, humor that gets you laughing uncontrolably, a bit of romance and mystery thrown into the mix, and spot on acting: its a movie forNot the best spy movie, but undeniably a good one none the less.

Sure, a few things here and there could be improved by I thought it was refreshing to watch something that's funny, has action, and isn't trying to combo an angst filled drama into an action movie. So, very fun and very refreshing.… Expand

Extremely entertaining, stylish and funny! Critics may not like the movie on basis that nowadays style is out of fashion! This is not going to win any Oscar, that is for certain but you know what, it is not a bad thing... This is exactly theExtremely entertaining, stylish and funny! Critics may not like the movie on basis that nowadays style is out of fashion! This is not going to win any Oscar, that is for certain but you know what, it is not a bad thing... This is exactly the type of movie that one wants to watch after a hard week: fun, beauty, sex appeal non stop, class and charisma. It does not happen very often to see such charismatic leads bring their A game on the screen. The chemistry between the 3 leads is incredible, the comic timing top notch and the vintag-y look of the movie only adds to the fun and reminds classics like The Thomas Crown Affair and Topkapi. As a classic movie nerd, I could not ask for more! And it was an excellent date night movie...Alicia Vikander keeps burning the screen after Ex Machina, I just cannot wait to see more of her! Armie Hammer and Henry Cavill have an outstanding presence on the screen, their comic duet being the real core of the movie. Elizabeth Debicki is a vision, even if slightly underused. Guy Ritchie is always a good artisan, he keeps delivering movies that are intelligent fun!… Expand

Set during The Cold War of the early 1960s, CIA agent Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill) is tasked to find the daughter (Alicia Vikander) of a missing scientist. While escaping with her, he runs into KGB agent Ilya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer). OnSet during The Cold War of the early 1960s, CIA agent Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill) is tasked to find the daughter (Alicia Vikander) of a missing scientist. While escaping with her, he runs into KGB agent Ilya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer). On returning to West Germany, we learn the CIA and KGB are joining forces, meaning Solo and Kuryakin must team up for a joint mission against a mysterious criminal organization.

Directed by Guy Ritchie, the film is based on a tv show that not many, including me, remember in the slightest. There is an underlying question as to why this film was made, and the weak plot doesn’t help, but it more than makes up for in style, comedy and performances.

Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer are brilliant, their chemistry is a joy to watch. Cavill's Solo is a ladies man while Hammer's Ilya is a stubborn beast but soft at heart. As their mission unfolds, the two agents gain mutual respect, with ball busting banter all the way. The comedy is what will win audiences over. I was surprised by Cavill in his first comedic role, pulling off physical gags alongside Hammer to great effect.

Everyone and everything looks beautiful: the suits, the cars, the women and the men. The cinematography is slick and the direction is fast but easy to follow. The score and music bring the 60s to life, jumping from classic to frantic, scene to scene.

An almost non existent role for Elizabeth Debicki as the villain lets the film down, sure she looks great but she only has a handful of scenes, mainly during the third act which itself is hardly memorable.

Still, a light hearted and upbeat adventure that doesn’t take things too seriously, Guy Ritchie’s ‘The Man From U.N.C.L.E.’ is a great way to close the summer cinema season.… Expand

I have just wasted my time and money watching this film. I windeed why the cinema was empty and then realised why. If you have 2 hours to spare I recommend you use it doing something useful - like watching paint dry. A terrible film

A glorious love letter to 60’s style and flair, this was a delightful film. Masterful action sequences, stylised cinematography and double entendres aplenty, this Archeresque spy jaunt was better than I was expecting on every level. TheA glorious love letter to 60’s style and flair, this was a delightful film. Masterful action sequences, stylised cinematography and double entendres aplenty, this Archeresque spy jaunt was better than I was expecting on every level. The storyline is the required level of ridiculous, and the performances are solid. Car enthusiasts will love it, as will vintage fashionados, and it was good to see that 60’s aesthetics weren’t accompanied by the sexist sensibilities of the era. Genuinely good fun! 8.33/10… Expand

The Metascore is right on for this one.

And it makesThe Metascore is right on for this one. Something about the pacing and just the general "energy" of the movie wasn't there, and I thought I was in for a very LONG two hours after about the 30 minute mark, but it does pick up. And it makes for a somewhat satisfying ending. Of the 4 leads, I was the most surprised to be impressed by Armie Hammer. He's great in this, but the others give performances that are far from their best work - which I'm certain is not their fault.… Expand
