The obsession has only grown stronger and I have returned! I have decided to actually give a good review and not only focus on the beautiful male actors or their hysterical man buns (refer to the "Nightcrawler" review for an example). As always these are my opinions and I love to hear honest feedback and suggestions!

MY THOUGHTS:

At first when I saw the trailer I wasn't very interested in this movie. I do have a deep love for Henry Cavill (Superman) and though I did say no more focusing on the hotness of the actors let me just leave it by saying – YUM.

Backtracking to my earlier statement, I wasn't super excited when my mother decided to watch it. Don't get me wrong, I love spy movies but to me this one seemed cliché.

Boy was I WRONG.

This movie was so good.

The movie centers around two spies, American spy Napoleon Solo and Russian spy Lllya Kuryakin, and one woman whose father they're trying to find: Gaby. Napoleon and Lllya butt heads, which in return gives a lot of funny moments. There is some romance which further drives the plot and a twist ending even I didn't see coming.

- Acting/Characters: The acting was perfect. Henry Cavill, as he did in superman, wonderfully used an American accent. I couldn't even tell he was British, to be honest I figured it out a few minutes ago. His character in this movie, "Napoleon Solo", is hilarious. First off he's one bad-ass spy (excuse the language). Second, he's extremely sarcastic and very humorous. Armie Hammer played Russian spy Lllya Kuryakin. His Russian accent was even more believable than Henry's American one. His characters back story and anger issues makes his character so complicated and relatable. Overall, my favorite character is Gaby who is played by Alicia Vikander. Her acting and this character go perfectly hand in hand. Gaby is a very honest and strong woman who puts these boys in their place.

- Setting/sets: This movie is set in the early 1960's. They did a great job with giving that old-time feel. The clothing is perfect but more importantly it's clear someone did their homework.

OTHER REVIEWS (FROM USERS ON IMDb.com):

- glasspersephone: When I saw better than expected, I knew it would be good. But it was better than good, it was great.

Very witty, sexy movie. Take the humour of Sherlock (with Robert Downey Jr. & Jude law) and stick it in a bond movie- then you have The man from U.N.C.L.E. - I like bond movies, but I LOVED the man from uncle. It doesn't get boring, or drop at any point.

If you've read anything negative from critics Don't listen to what critics have to say, they don't like any kind of movie if it's not based on a true story.

It's certainly worth the price of admission, you'll be glad you saw it. I'm honestly hoping a second will be made.

- grnwoman: As a long-time fan of the original series who has watched rights disputes, and cast and director changes over the years, I viewed the pre-release publicity with high hopes and low expectations. But in the end, the film itself was a wonderful surprise! Witty, light-hearted without being a spoof and dramatic without being heavy-handed. The two main characters were updated from what was allowable in 60s television to satisfying and engaging modern versions of their original incarnations, and the attendant allies and villains were all one could want. The film was very much what the series could have been were it being done now, in the era of Game of Thrones and Mad Men. I've been twice and will be going again, as well as buying the DVD. Open Channel D; this film is more than I dared hope for!

OVERALL:

I highly recommend this movie. It's a spy movie with humor, wit, and a lack of spy clichés.

My score: 9/10
