Underrated movie and wish they had made a sequel to this film. I still have the poster I got when I saw it in Cinemark years back around 2015. You can tell Henry Cavill could've played James Bond. He was having so much fun.
@@ChrisTheAspergerGuy I think they're leaning on A.Taylor Johnson guy, who is only as good as the director, as we've seen him be GREAT in Kick-ass and Bullet train, yet being the absolutely WORSE part of that 1st new Godzilla.
RIP to David McCallum who played the OG Illya Kuryakin who passed away last year and Robert Vaughn who played the OG Napoleon Solo who passed away in 2016.
@@francisco_m7849 If you're talking about the abuse and cannibalism stuff, that definitely became public AFTER "Call Me by Your Name" from 2017. According to the Internet, the allegations started in 2021.
@@francisco_m7849 This movie came out in 2015. Then he had that movie Call Me By Your Name in 2017, which had a lot of Oscar buzz. Don't remember if it won any, but his stardom was definitely on the rise I believe it was around 2019/2020 that that changed. At least, that's how I remember it
I watched the tv show this was based on a while back, and it's super underrated. This film really captures the same energy and Henry Cavill was perfect casting.
Henry Cavill is FANTASTIC in this film, his acting was amazing. If there is a chance that there will be another James Bond film, Henry should be cast. He has charisma for sure and he is probably the most charming man I have ever seen. It is definitely the best choice for this role.
Hell yes this is the movie that made me realize henry cavill is litrally born and needs to play the new james bond he has the looks the accent everything
I'll never understand why this movie failed at the box office. I loved it when I saw it on the big screen. It's a shame most people have to only experience it on a TV.
This movie is criminally underrated and I’ve wanted a sequel ever since I first saw it. I really hope it goes through. And yes, this was the perfect audition for Henry Cavil being the next Bond.
Hey guys. I'm so glad you reacted to this film. Guy Ritchie did an excellent job with this remake of the 60's television series. Part of his genius was the reversal of actors as the lead stars. Casting Henry Cavill (British) as Napoleon Solo and Armie Hammer (American) as Illya Kuriyakin was inspirational because it was the exact opposite of actors on the television series. Robert Vaughn (American) was Napoleon Solo and David McCallum (British/Irish) played Illya the Russian. Man From U.N.C.L.E. purists hated it and many actively boycotted the movie. I grew up loving the TV show, but absolutely loved this interpretation. I'm very excited to hear there's talk of a sequel.
I could just sit and watch Guy Ritchie films all day... Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, RocknRolla, Snatch and as another one said Gentlemen - which is criminally overlooked. I would've loved to seen a sequel before ya know, Armie and all....
I Love This Movie!!! One of the very first Henry Cavill projects that I saw; and one that made me think "Oh, this guy is kind of good at this whole acting thing." Thoroughly enjoyed it.😍
Dear lord(!) it's so beautiful... when I saw the thumbnail I had to do a double-take. I have recommended this little gem to other channels (where I know specifically they would really appreciate it) but nah; you might actually be one of the first channels to check this flick out. KUDOS to you and thanks!
This brings to mind a great scene in the NCIS TV series. An agent says to Jethro, "I wonder what Ducky (David McCallum) looked like when he was younger." And Jethro responds, "Illya Kuryakin." Love it! 😎
I have been waiting for the sequel for years😢 And there’s actually a reference to this film in “the gentlemen”, where someone says what we need is a sequel, with an uncle poster in the background. Simply drove me mad when watching this (after all these years)
So excited to see you guys react to this! I actually watched your reaction to the trailer not too long ago & wondered if you guys watched it off screen. Love love love Henry & this movie. Wish he was in more.
This was a nice surprise! I don't think the film did too well at the box office/wasn't received well in general though so that's probably why it never got a sequel at the time. A real shame as I thought all 3 leads worked very well together and with the whole Hammer scandal in recent years, a sequel looks to never happen unfortunately. A highly stylish underrated film and a lot of fun; they did a great job with the costuming, editing, action, camera work etc.
Yes! SUCH an underrated gem. Aside from the length (I think it is a bit too long), I love the camerawork, the MUSIC is incredible, and it is my favorite Henry Cavill performance yet! Also, I can't help myself but imagine that this is a live Archer movie, with Henry as Archer and Armie as Cyborg Barry 😁
Fun fact: The original television show with David McCallum and Robert Vaughn they both appeared in DC films animated and live action with McCallum voicing Zeus in Wonder Woman (2009) and Vaughn in Superman III (1983). Also you have Elizabeth Debicki before she was known as Ayesha the priestess in Guardians of the Galaxy Vols 2 and 3 as the main antagonist.
The scene with Gabbie and Ilya having their drunken dance fight was her testing him to see if she could actually work with him, she got drunk to see if he’d take advantage of her being not completely with it and her grabbing his hand at the end was a signal of… you’ve passed. Slapping him was also a test to see if he could control his rage fits around her and that he wouldn’t snap at her so she wasn’t in any danger
At the time this came out, I knew Arnie Hammer as the Lone Ranger, and of course this was at the time BvS. So it was funny that The Lone Ranger was calling Henry, Cowboy. And Henry called him Red Peril.
This is based on one of my favourite tv/film series The Man From Uncle, Henry Cavell is really great in this,I went to see this in the cinema loved it.
This is a great action spy movie based on the 1960's TV series of the same name! What's interesting is that this movie is as close as we were going to get seeing Henry Cavill as James Bond. Armie Hammer is in the film, and it's a shame he'll never act in Hollywood ever again due to a lot of sexual assault allegations against him, where he now has a job selling timeshares in the Cayman Islands
Oh this movie is so darn underrated, and so darn funny. The 3rd act climax feels a little out of place from the rest of the movie, but all the same. Shame this didn't get a bigger audience.
Speaking of guy ritchie and Henry cavill, Greg you should definitely check out the trailer to “The ministry of ungentlemanly warfare” it’s got a pretty stacked cast aswell!
I was waiting for the second part for so long but then Hammer that episode. Let’s see if we get any other parts in future or not. Cavil was charming as cheese, Hammer was rough around the edges exactly how they intended.
Well, you have to see the Quintessential two Guy Ritchie movies. "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels," and my personal favorite "Snatch." Also "The Gentlemen" is definitely worth a watch too.
First time seeing this thanks to you guys. It was so exciting. Great film and talented actors and camera work. Let's hope for a sequel and who knows, I could see ryan gosling in army hammers place
As good as Henry Cavill was as Superman and the Witcher, I think he really shines as Napoleon Solo. The role really let him showcase his comedic talent and sense of timing. I really hope they make a second. As for The Gentlemen, it is absolutely brilliant. Guy Ritchie crafts another stellar story, and while all of the cast are amazing, I think this is one of Hugh Grant's best performances. And Colin Farrell as the coach is fantastic too. I'm really curious to see if The Gentlemen series that is coming out can hold up to the source of its inspiration.
Another FANTASTIC Guy Richie movie: King Arthur, Legend of the sword.. That is my Favorite non superhero movie, from its soundtrack to its overall story So good.. If you two get a chance. DEFINITELY CHECK THAT ONE OUT
Gotta love the random David Beckham cameo at 7:00 ish (For people who aren't from the UK, David Beckham was captain of the England football team back in the 2000s and basically the face of British football for quite a while. )
0:08 - NAPOLEON SOLO. The 1960s TV series, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., was devised as an American James Bond-type spy series with the main protagonist, Napoleon Solo, portrayed by Robert Vaughan (one of the original Magnificent Seven). Initially about a lone operative (hence the name, 'Solo'), a second main character was introduced to appeal to a younger female demographic. This blonde, slim, handsome Russian by the name of Illya Kuryakin became Solo's partner, and was portrayed by British actor, David McCallum. McCallum gained renewed international popularity for his role as NCIS medical examiner Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard in the American television series 'NCIS', which he played for 20 seasons until his death in September 2023. He was 90 years old. Cool fact. Like Robert Vaughan, McCallum also appeared on film with Steve McQueen. They both appeared in 'The Great Escape'.
Great reaction. I was 13 y/o & loved this old TV show back in the 60's. This film was excellent, & it gave the back story of how the UNCLE was formed. The TV show already had the Russian/American/English spies working together. The UNCLE TV series (1964) was 2 years before the Mission Impossible TV series (1966). As to why this film didn't click for a franchise I don't have a clue. All three actors were wonderful in this film & I loved the movie.
I had never even HEARD of this movie. I am now obsessed. I need to watch it for myself- but now I can’t stop watching the react!!! Also keep giving Tara my well wishes on feeling better!!! She is such a delight- I hope this horrible virus doesn’t ruin her life. After almost 3 years I am getting my life better managed with long covid. 🖤🖤
It is not just the actors/acting, it is the casting. They were cast because they were able to bring the original characters from the TV show back to life. The cinematography is also reminiscent of the show, especially the split screen shots where they show the different characters in different scenes simultaneously.
Henry Cavill isn't especially tall (around 6'1" / 1.85m), it's just that he's built like a brick outhouse. Elizabeth Debicki is 1.91m / 6'3". Armie Hammer is even taller at 1.94m / 6'4". He is also built like a tank.
I really enjoy this movie. I used to watch the 1960's TV show. It was very cool. The movie captures the spirit of the TV show perfectly. And I agree Henry Cavill is the stand out but they do have chemistry all three together. It makes me want to watch the tv show.😁
Henry Cavill is 6'1, Armie Hammer is 6'5, and Elizabeth Debicki is 6'3 😂 And Alicia Vykander is actually above average at 5'6 despite looking miniature in comparison
This movie was definitely more style than substance, but honestly that's not entirely a bad thing in this case. Guy Ritchie is always full of style and quick dialogue, but his narratives and plots are usually deeper and more complex than this. However, this stands unique among his catalogue with a very different aesthetic that elevates it for me, even though it is probably my least favorite flick of his.
The television show from the 60's starred Robert Vaughn and David McCallum. There were a few other 'international spy' tv shows back then due to the popularity of the *James Bond franchise:* *I Spy,* starring Robert Culp and Bill Cosby (yep.), *The Avengers,* British program starring Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg, *Get Smart,* a comedy starring Don Adams and Barbara Felton (created by Mel Brooks & Buck Henry) *The Prisoner,* starring Patrick McGoohan.
Thanks Greg you just reminded me of what this reminded me of Doctor No because of the time period and how everything looks. It reminds me of Dr. No. Also, the man from uncle TV show was supposed to be a TV version of James Bond for us in the US
TMFU is so underrated. And I agree Greg. Henry seems to be having so muchfun unlike other things 😂. Anyway, this is also his highlight reel for James Bond but it seems loke they’re leanong towards Aaron Taylor Johnson… Also, Greg, youbhave a point about them separating Henry & Armie. They all know about the slashfic between Ilya & Napoleon from the show. 😂
There was no sequel because it bombed at the box office. Over time it's become popular on video. Now there's talk of a sequel but recasting the Hammer role. Alan Ritchson(Reacher) taking over since he's buddies with Guy Ritchie. And he's tall like Hammer.
It's a pity Armie Hammer torpedoed his movie career. He was so good in this movie. What a bummer. And this certainly has one of Henry Cavill's best performances.

100% underrated and the 1st and only time I saw Cavill's charisma, people keep talking about, cause people mix good looks with it, it ain't.
very underrated movie that went under the radar due to other things out and going on.

This is one of those movies that should’ve been a massive hit, but for some reason flew under the radar.
Armie Hammer started to get into trouble around the time the movie came out. The bad press affected the film.

I saw it at the theaters and loved it. I like Guy Ritchie movies.Henry Cavill is the man. I own this movie. I don't own very many.
They didn't notice David Beckhams' 'blink-and-miss' cameo, during Solo's torture scene!!!
Yes thank you! 3:29 finally someone that notices and gives due credit to Cavill's 60s old school classic American movies accent.

Definitely recommend “The Gentlemen,” or any of his gangster films you can find.
Oh hell yes. The Gentlemen was amazing.
Henry Cavill is perfect to play the next James Bond. He looks similar but slightly different to Timothy Dalton's appearance.
The problem is they never give the role to an actor who is already widely known.
@@ThunderForce2000 Pierce Brosnan was the star of Remington Steele and Sean Connery had starred in Darby O'Gill and the Little People for Disney.
T-Dalt!
I think this cemented my belief Henry is a perfect Bond candidate. Would love a sequel to this!

Live action Archer is always a hit. My wife and I love the old style they went with here. It should have been much more of a hit.

The girl mechanic is hilarious when she is dancing drunk and tries to make Illya(armie hammer's character) dance
One of the best scenes! “You don’t want to dance, but you want to wrestle?” Lol

Yes! I love it too. I wish there were more reactions for it out there.
I was going to use the Kind Arthur films as a reason for why he is underrated. He makes some great stuff, then some absolute clangers
It is rare to find a watchable, non-sucky remake/moviefication of old tv shows. Man from U.N.C.L.E is definitely one of the better ones.

However, this stands unique among his catalogue with a very different aesthetic that elevates it for me, even though it is probably my least favorite flick of his.
The gentleman is a must see
Seeing Henry Cahvil in here he would be awesome as the next James Bond
Yes I’m so glad you reacted to this movie. I absolutely love it
Cavill with the most lowkey amazing comedic performance in the history of cinema.
The television show from the 60's starred Robert Vaughn and David McCallum.
There were a few other 'international spy' tv shows back then due to the popularity of the *James Bond franchise:*
*I Spy,* starring Robert Culp and Bill Cosby (yep.),
*The Avengers,* British program starring Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg,
*Get Smart,* a comedy starring Don Adams and Barbara Felton (created by Mel Brooks & Buck Henry)
*The Prisoner,* starring Patrick McGoohan.
35:50 - Guy Ritchie managed to make Cavill look more like Clark Kent in one scene, than Zack Snyder did in all the movies.
Thanks Greg you just reminded me of what this reminded me of Doctor No because of the time period and how everything looks. It reminds me of Dr. No. Also, the man from uncle TV show was supposed to be a TV version of James Bond for us in the US
My favorite director by far. Im enraptured by all his work. 😄😄😄
Guy Ritchies ‘Lock stock and 2 smoking barrels’ and ‘Snatch’ are amazing movies
TMFU is so underrated. And I agree Greg. Henry seems to be having so muchfun unlike other things 😂. Anyway, this is also his highlight reel for James Bond but it seems loke they’re leanong towards Aaron Taylor Johnson…
Also, Greg, youbhave a point about them separating Henry & Armie. They all know about the slashfic between Ilya & Napoleon from the show. 😂
I feel I was laughing a bit too much at all of the cannibal jokes 😂
in the bathroom he said, dont kill ur parther on the first day :D
There was no sequel because it bombed at the box office. Over time it's become popular on video. Now there's talk of a sequel but recasting the Hammer role. Alan Ritchson(Reacher) taking over since he's buddies with Guy Ritchie. And he's tall like Hammer.
It's a pity Armie Hammer torpedoed his movie career. He was so good in this movie. What a bummer. And this certainly has one of Henry Cavill's best performances.
