Gave this another watch with the Arrow Video 4K release and my opinion pretty much remained the same. Fun at times and has the usual stylish direction from Guy Ritchie, this one didn't quite enamor me though I did like the cast who did well with their roles, Cavill in particular was charming. While I didn't love it, would've been interested in a sequel but the movie only managed $110 million worldwide, disappointing both in North America but overseas as well. **3.5/5**

Henry Cavill's performance in this movie is nothing short of captivating. He exudes a suave and charismatic demeanor that instantly brings to mind the iconic James Bond character. His portrayal is both charming and engaging. He is without a doubt the next James Bond. Ask for the movie itself, it resembles a lot of the classic Bond movies from the Sean Connery era. One of the film's standout features is its impeccable aesthetics. The visual elements, from the costumes to the set design, are meticulously crafted, immersing the audience in the stylish world of espionage and intrigue. What sets "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." apart is its ability to strike a perfect balance between action and humor. The film doesn't take itself too seriously, and this lighthearted approach results in genuinely funny and memorable scenes. The humor is smartly woven into the storyline, making it a delightful watch. The ensemble cast delivers outstanding performances across the board. From Cavill's suave Napoleon Solo to Armie Hammer's intense Illya Kuryakin, each actor brings depth and charisma to their respective roles. Alicia Vikander also shines in her role, adding to the film's overall charm. The pacing of the movie is commendable. It keeps you engaged from start to finish, with well-choreographed action sequences and plot twists that maintain the excitement throughout. "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." is a must-watch for fans of espionage films, offering a fresh take on the genre with its charismatic performances, stylish aesthetics, humor, and solid pacing. Whether you're a fan of the original series or new to the world of U.N.C.L.E., this film is a highly recommended cinematic experience.

Super smooth '60s period espionage caper boosted by some very clever modern directing and cinematography. The tongue-in-cheek humour really makes this movie work.

This could never be described as Guy Ritchie's best work, and Henry Cavill really is about as rigid as that jaw bone of his - but it does have redeeming features. It doesn't take itself at all seriously; there are loads of gadgets, stylish costumes and the even a soupçon of a score that could have been penned by Morricone. Set against a background of cold war mistrust, Illya Kuryakin (a comically thick-accented Armie Hammer) partners up with Cavill ("Napoleon Solo") to prevent an evil Spectre-like organisation from proliferating nuclear weapons. Alicia Vikander and Elizabeth Debicki provide added glamour - and quite a bit of what menace this rather weak effort generates. I am not sure if it is intended (or not) to be a sort of "Bond" meets "the Saint" spoof - but it's tongue is firmly planted in it's cheek; there are quite a few decent comedic sequences and Hugh Grant manages to steal the few scenes he is in - as the enigmatic "Waverly". It obviously comes across way better than the original television series, but maybe that's the problem - it is all just a bit too classy and slick when it needed to be a bit more rudimentary.

_The Man from UNCLE_ 2015 #Action #Comedy Origin story of UNCLE 8/10 tinyurl.com/hvakyx4 🎬 🃏 👍 ⏰ 🔫 🎼 In the early 1960s, CIA agent Napoleon Solo competes with KGB agent Illya Kuryakin to find Gaby Teller's nuclear scientist father. They need to get her out of East Germany first, then follow leads to the father, who seems to be building a bomb for a rich family in Italy. Will they stop the use of the nuclear device? Will Napoleon survive torture by Gaby's Nazi uncle? Be ready to laugh; this is not a dark humourless POS like the superhero films; rather, it's a light hearted romp. *Image courtesy of The Movie Database*

> A very pleasing action-comedy with the balanced sensitive contents. Another brilliant action-comedy from Guy Ritchie. I never saw the 60s television series of the same name, but this was very convenient for his style of portraying the tough men showing off their strength. The actors were simply wonderful, two year commitment by the two lead guys for this project definitely payed off well and Alicia Vikander filled the feminine void perfectly. I think it was one of the best trio in the movies I ever seen, very powerful and I hope it lasts for a trilogy. The story sets in the 60s during the cold war tension between the world's two superpowers. But the film's specialty was, it does not render clash between them, instead they come together to fight the rogue forces who plan blitz against them. Very humourous, highly entertaining with a swift pace and amazing action sequences. I don't think the narration had any unique twist and turn, instead I call it a smartly written screenplay. So the overall movie was so good, but not a top-notch. My disappointment came from the technical side in some of parts, especially the bike and car chase in the last quarter that you can clearly tell a fake (greenscreen/bluescreen shot). Other than the main plot and its clever scenes, the movie did not offer distinctive features. Just taking away a ½ point is what places it on a line between good and average, but I definitely consider it a good. 6½/10
