Just finished watching “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” and I have to say… it’s not a very good flick.
It doesn’t outright suck, it’s filmed nicely and the music is cool and Henry Cavill is pretty good but the guy who plays Illya (Armie Hammer - who the fuck is that?) sounded like some random guy off the street doing a bad fake Russian accent (why not hire an actual Russian/Slavic actor?) and the chick (Alicia Vikander, literally who?) playing the German gal, didn’t sound German in the least (dunno what they were thinking there?).
The lame generic spy story comes across as if it was written by different authors and kinda slapped together haphazardly but what was most noticeable, was the piss poor direction. Nothing and nobody in movie clicked, all the scenes felt odd and stumbling, like it was Guy Ritchie’s first time directing a movie.
Dunno how Rotten Tomatoes gave it 68%, Metacritic’s 55/100 is too high IMO, while CinamaScore “B” grade is way off.
In fact, now that I’ve finished writing all that, I have to say “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” did outright suck.

I liked the style, and it was an entertaining movie.
But that's it.
Angel Adams
Yeah this. Style over substance.
Tyler Walker
>substance You can't tell me you expected substance from this movie. These type of movies by definition inherently lack it. Also, style is substance.
Zachary Foster
I'm just saying that the only thing the movie had going for it was the style.
Robert Wright
This. It was a good 6/10.
Blake Harris
what a pleb review
Nathaniel Ward
I enjoyed it
Charles Anderson
Still the best spy movie that came out last year.
Ian Davis
Says the guy whose only response is to call me a pleb...
Daniel Kelly
>Still the best spy movie that came out last year.
What other spy movies came out last year?
Parker Foster
It's a movie that is entirely carried by Henry Cavill and the banter between him and Armie but mostly Cavill alone.
He's probably come the closest I've seen to a proper raw masculine Connery style Bond.
Daniel Morgan
It misses the mark because it's based on a campy 60s show but Ritchie and the actors don't know shit about camp or how to make it fun.
Lucas Reyes
James Bond.
Nolan Wood
i watched it last year and it was ok. i didn't regret watching it, but thinking back i can't recall a single scene or conversation or even what the basic plot of the movie was
Jason Rogers
I thought it was at least a 7/10 and I had fun watching it. Some moments were noticeably.. "off", likely due to poor directing and editing but I still enjoyed myself.
Isaiah Carter
Spectre and Kingsman.
Jeremiah Adams
This movie convinced me that Cavill would be a fucking perfect Sterling Archer.
Adam Murphy
> > What other spy movies came out last year? > Spectre and Kingsman.
Spectre was way better and even Kingsmen was better.
Landon Clark
The rewind shit happened like five times
Isaac Butler
the opening scene was good and the boat chase with cavill sitting in the truck was good
Nicholas Wright
this film was so much better than all the other generic action shit out there. the movie screams style and class. great humor. sure its lacking in an interesting plot but honestly id watch it again over spectre or the avengers any day of the week.
Hunter Rivera
>boat chase scene top tier honestly fampai
Alexander Edwards
>Alicia Vikander, literally who? Are you kidding me?
