Probably the most entertaining movie I’ve seen in a while!

Still watchable but lacking in charisma

I went to see this at the cinema with my family. We all loved it and watched it again when it came out on video. Such a shame there will not be a follow up as we got into the characters.

The newspaper critics when it came out were really harsh and put people off which made me think they may have had another agenda against the director but from now on I ignore the reviews. I nearly missed a brilliant family day out. No film is going to please everyone but the style, the sets, the stunts and the characters should have been given credit. There has been a lack of good films and, ironically, many films the critics have loved but have just been way of from good enough.

Two words. Armie Hammer.

Also Alicia Vikander as gabby who is stylish and sassy and totally in love with llya.

Favourite scene.…

When solo sits in the van eating, drinking and listening to opera. Whilst llya is being shot at.

Faithful to the feel of the original without fawning to it. A well made modernised movie with good attention to detail in the costumes and gadgets, all felt right. Humorous dialog and good casting of the the characters. Well worth a watch especially if you remember the original classic series.

Always likes his movies. Entertaining, fun, great music, locations - can’t wait to see his next work. And by the way, thank you for the very handsome actors. Top marks

A very nice reiteration, excellent soundtrack, wonderful photography, good script.

Not sure what people were expecting from this movie, however, it is quirky and the interactions between the actors is great.

Its one to enjoy and remove any pre-concieved ideas about prior to watching.

This was just a good, fun film. No pretentions just great fun. Good chemistry between the two leads.

Everything about the movie was fun love story mixed with plenty of great fight scenes.. Oh and the sarcasm this movie has is brilliant .. It will keep you on your toes for sure 👌👌

yep. its a stinker unfortunately. dull, silly and hard to finish. paper thin.

Funny but takes ages to build up.

Thought I'd hate this film as I was an avid watcher of the original series.....but its briliant in all aspects..well done Guy Richie you nailed it...well worth a watch and I'll be deffinately be looking for UNCLE 2 if its made.

Could watch it again and again can't wait for a sequel.

❤️❤️ brilliant film

A great watch indeed!

Great performance, thoroughly well researched and well made. You should enjoy this alot.

After reading the critic's (negative) reviews, I nearly overlooked this movie but really glad I didn't. Loved the movie.

This film is terrible. My wife walked out of the room after 15 minutes! I wish I turned it if after the opening scene. Generic and formulaic! The only positive is the cinematography. I will not watch again or any sequel. Save the two hours of your life and avoid The Man From UNCLE.

Excellent story line, class, pizazz, perfect timing. Watch the film three times in the cinema and I'm not a keen cinema goer. Way better than the new Bond. Looking forward to a sequel

Loved this classy remake of the older series. Theres great action, quite a bit of humour and the overall look is very slick. Still set during the period but has an up to date feel. Loved it.

Excellent film, really enjoyed relaxing and watching it. Music, clothes, scenery, aircraft all with so much detail and accuracy. Great story line well presented with a twist. Even loved the ending with aircraft carrier and vixen aircraft!

Nothing like the original!

Finally washed a film that was worth watching. The Plot was great and the cinematography was great. Would recomend this film to everyone.

I am not usually given to writing bad reviews but in this case I will make an exception. How this film appears with four stars in the iTunes store is a complete mystery to me. I found it to be both tedious and boring to watch, even though I watched it to the end to see if it would improve - it didn’t! The whole film has no flavour of the original series, none of the charm or originality, and the use of the dreaded “shaky cam” in the action scenes just makes things worse. Very poor indeed.

Saw this as a family and really enjoyed it - great film with a fun team and great story line. Well worth watching!

The first 20 minutes were a little slow, but this film just gets better & better. By the end, I wanted to watch the sequel, straight away. Brilliant characters, great retro feel and smooth sound track. This is going to be a great franchise, as long as they can keep the same actors together. The only film that I have seen, in the last 6 months, that is better than this, is Spectre. This is high praise, indeed...

This movie is satire (the opening music is the give away, surely) with a decent budget and beautiful cinematography, paying tribute to the style and sarcasm of European movies of the 60s (think Jules et Jim, The Ipcress File, Funeral in Berlin, Blowup, The Italian Job, La Dolce Vita). You will either love it or you will hate it. It should have been marketed as a subversive romp like SPY as it has a surprisingly refreshing and fun message; the two competent action stars, however likeable or unlikeable, run around around continually screwing everything up with minimal insight because their different versions of being aggressively macho make them terrible spies (like how how everyone in the world seems to know who Ethan Hunt and James Bond are by now). Shame that it was likely to be one of the few properly-financed action-spy franchises with a non-disposable female lead, played wonderfully by Alicia Vikander, because it would have been really fun to follow the continued development of her character.

I don’t like cold war spy or retro style movies and was expecting something like Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy which I hated, so wasn’t really paying attention when my husband put it on.

The day after I put it on again whilst wrapping presents and noticed that it’s very funny and cleverly made in spite of a weak story line. Have now watched it 3 times and it got better every time!

Nicely done, Guy Ritchie!

Typical of a lot of movies today, they have smart unique directing style and amazing cinematography but the story and character development is so non existent that you sometimes forget the actual purpose of the movie.

I did not rate this at all.

The acting was good, as was the cinematography.

But the scripting and storytelling was poor.

A tedious film best avoided

(In my humble opinion)

Have no doubt this is one of the best movies of 2015. The detail, style, script, sets and locations are perfectly sourced and wonderfully utilised. It brings a whole new meaning to a too long dormant franchise and justifiably deserves lavish praise. The actors are superb, the script lively and entertaining, villains masterful and different. Superbly witty, funny and beautiful to watch. It makes Bond films look dated and trashy. For me this is going first wth The Martian as best film of the year. Please make a sequel!

Gave up half way through - couldn't finish it I was so bored.

The early scenes of the escape from East Germany were good and left me to hope for much, but after that the fizzle just went out of it. I just found each scene more boring than the last, and didn't feel anything for the characters - it all just felt so wooden and...."meh"

Really disappointing.

What a hoot. Fans of the old series and new viewers alike will love this set-in-the-sixties spy movie. Filled with humour it doesn’t take itself seriously at all and sets up a team that could rival the Mission Impossible franchise should this first movie deliver a commercial success. I really enjoyed it and it kept my family, of all ages, entertained brilliantly on Christmas afternoon. Recommended.

I genuinely didn't understand the plot.

Thought by trailer would be good.

Disappointed.

This has to be the worst film I have seen in 2015.

A few negative reviews on here that basically leaves you wondering if the reviewers were watching the same film. I found this a lot of fun, it certainly doesn’t take itself too seriously and there lies the charm. It had all the right ingredients for an old fashioned spy movie. Great locations, good dialogue and good acting. The chemistry between the lead actors was there for all to see. Watch it, buy it, you won’t be disappointed.

If I could give less than one point I would do. Barely managed to sit through the corny plot.

This is a brilliant movie — fun, fast moving, and sexy! It more than captures the essence of the original tv series and takes it to new heights. I am looking forward to the next one!

Good plot, simple but brilliantly acted - great locations, staging and soundtrack. Pace is on form and movie is over what feels very quick as its so enjoyable to watch. If it spawns a sequel will look forward to it. Makes me want to be living in the swinging sixties - but not in a tacky Austin powers way.

Box office flop? Well yes it was.....so while not the greatest film made; by a long way - I gave 4* 'cause I thoroughly enjoyed it. Pure hokum escapism, fun, some neat car chases and rather stereo typical tongue in cheek likeable characters. It left me wanting to see them again.....alas that will not be happening. Still leave your brain elsewhere get a comfy sofa a beer or a glass of wine or two and enjoy.

Hmmm....it's ok, but I found myself easily distracted whilst watching it. In other words did'nt hold my attention. Not a patch on Spectre. How can it even be compared to Mr Bond and his high jinks? I can understand where Mr Ritchie was going with this, it was different, but average.

Really liked this film (Arnie hammer was great!)

Saw the negative critic reviews so left this to rental, definitely deserved more life than it got in the cinema. Nicely acted, good script... could've been edgier. Not as good as mission impossible this year. Waaaay better than bland boring bond!!

Good film from Guy Ritchie, very reminiscent of the 60’s brought to current day, this stylish roller coaster journey chasing the daddies did not disappoint, even though technically old hand plot i was well entertained, good film and worth the rent

I wasn't expecting much from this at all, but I was very pleasantly surprised! It's good fun, the leads are all very engaging and charismatic, and it doesn't take itself too seriously. I found myself really hoping for a sequel!

The acting was great, it was visually amazing... but the script/story was simply disappointing. I loved watching reruns of the original TV series so I was looking forward to watching this. It's a shame it missed the mark because it would have been a great franchise.

Only just held my interest half way through I gave up. Pretty low grade material. Don’t bother.

Five stars for plot, cast, cinematography, costume, art direction and soundtrack. And it was smart and funny! Loved it.

An enjoyable and classy film, best I seen in ages, great cinema photography and sense of period.

Boring.

This had some terrible reviews and bombed at the box office, strangling a budding franchise at birth. In fairness, it isn't all terrible. But it's nothing like as clever as its makers clearly think it is. With a few cans and a willingness just to go along for the ride, this passes the time amiably enough. But next morning there's absolutely nothing to remember.

Classy, funny, good all round entertainment with great cast! Really enjoyed it!!

Superb. I enjoyed this very much.

Fun and classic spy film

went to see this film at the cinema must say i wasn’t disappointed and i will be pre ordering my copy on i tunes hugh grant is a scene stealer and solo and kuryakin are charismatic its an action thriller will style

I will definitely be owning this when it comes out, admittedly I saw this at the cinema because I couldn't wait, the cinematography is astonishing the angles used in every scene, the use of camera techniques to make it look like an old classic and the use of modern filming techniques mesh well and give you something unique to look at, if your a lover of cinematography you will love this, a must watch

Not entirely convincing spies if you've ever seen a documentary about the Cold War/Berlin wall era but awesome fun anyway. Loved the sunglasses. Great flick. Made my Sunday night date night :) Ritchie does it again!!

Was expecting a lot going in, and luckily The Man From U.N.C.L.E did’t disappoint. Guy Ritchie has done yet another great job with this and the casting couldn’t be better.

Exciting and really smart. Well worth buying.
