The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
The man from uncle tries to play off as if it's characters are sophisticated but they are shallow in development at best. The actors that were chosen do a great job at working with what they are given, which helps elevate the movie slightly. The plot is simply and overused but it is still entertaining to see the character dynamic but nothing will come across as surprising. It's easy to just sit down and watch if you are not wanting to be too invested.
This was a movie that made one feel good. Beautiful actors, fab outfits with exotic locations and an interesting storyline. Loved the music and a fantastic chase scene towards the end. Thoroughly enjoyable and recommended.
The original TV series had its tongue firmly planted in its cheek, but this movie seems to have trouble doing that. The BEST reason to watch it is because of Alicia Vikander. The second best reason is Armie Hammer. Otherwise, feel free to leave the DVD running while you get up to make popcorn.
...in most cases I do not waste time reviewing Hollywood movies; even older ones, because there s enough good reviewers and with those opinions you just have pretty all covered; so is only to contribute with the other members trying to state clearly that the 7.6 in the ranking that you see, is too much for this very movie.Saying that, regarding the movie itself, is very precise what another commentator is saying about the main characters that "were updated from what was allowable in 60s television to satisfying and engaging modern versions of their original incarnations..." this is key for big Hollywood productions; if not how do you compete with those fast and furious et all?-The acting is bad, too "static" without chemistry between the characters. 6os original series has comedy and s special humor; well you do not have any of that here. Also half of the time is just pointless with useless scenes, scenes that do not contribute anything to the plot; by the way which one? You can add that there are more than one fail in the story.About the good things: The colors are very good, may be not top quality like with Tarantinos movies. It has several very good shots with good photography and couple of tweaks here and there as you expect with a movie directed by G R.The attention to the details in the wardrobe, make up, vehicles, etc is remarkable but is not so much to save the final product.Not only pretty faces is needed, sometimes a bit of charm and style is OK too; ahh, acting too.
