Peter Cohen I knew going in that this was going to be junky, but I had no idea the thoroughgoing awfulness in store. First, Henry Cavill is so devoid of charm and interest that the part would have been better played by a mannequin. If you thought he was bad as Superman/Clark Kent hang on to your hat. Then you have the story, which is paper-thin and nonsensical. That, in itself, doesn't doom a movie with lots of other things going for it, but when everything else is bad, a weak plot is just more wood on the bonfire. Then there's the style. Ritchie went for a quick cross-cutting between the Cavill action and the Armie Hammer/Alicia Vikander action, which did not work at all, again mostly because what they were up to was uninteresting. The oft-interrupted budding romance between Hammer and Vikander has no chemistry. Cavill's Bondesque nailing of the hotel front desk clerk and the ice queen villain are totally perfunctory. See what I said above about his lack of charm -- Never before has a male hero's sexual conquests been so obviously inserted to check off an item on a list of tropes, rather than growing naturally from the character. The unbelievable feats of daring-do pile up so fast and thick that you will be buried under a mountain of WTF moments, like Hammer in a car chase on foot. The torture scene is an extremely misjudged tone shift. Characters do things that have no point in the story and aren't explained in terms of character development -- like Vikander downing a bottle of booze. I could go on and on, but you get the point.

nburroughs-34087 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.

suepalmer1957 I really love this movie even though it is nothing like the original TV series that I watched as a kid. Beautifully cast and well observed but some of the language is too modern. A great film to watch if you love great cars, fashion and beautiful people!

greg horoski This is assuredly partially my fault. As a child I looked at life through child's eyes. I loved UNCLE as a kid and then I recently watched the original TV shows and WOW, did they disappoint,Oh yeah!This movie essentially is as vacuous that the TV show was.America is devoid of creativity, proves it!
