The Man From U.N.C.L.E (2015) - MOVIE REACTION!!

[@BlindWave]

Raw Rider Patrons can watch the Full Length Reaction HERE: blindwavellc.com/the-man-from-u-n-c-l-e-movie-full/

[@atlasli0n]

Just doing a drive-by suggestion. You guys should one day react to The Leftovers. It's showrunner also did Lost and it has a lot of overlap with the themes in Lost. It's imo a spiritual successor to Lost and its incredible. There's a lot of mystery, incredible writing and incredible acting.

[@ndeyecoumbafall4990]

Please guys, react to 2 wonderful show: dirk gently and his dark materials, its just mindblowing

[@richardbeaton7324]

You guys would love a movie called Public Enemies it's based on a true story of a bank robber / gangster in the 1930s/1940s played by Johnny Depp , Great film !

[@renee8746]

A British plays an American. An American plays a Russian. A Swedish plays a German. An Australian plays an Italian. Such a good movie. And Henry is so good as Solo. Just love that detached sense of humour.

[@BhBc8f8]

*swede but yeah 👍

[@lukeyycobein1050]

Armie actually has strong russian roots, his grandpa was russian and someone else from his family? i think? he also said his granda ysed to call him 'Romashka' which is a pet name for a very common russian name Roman so i think only 1/4 he's russian?? or smth like, i think you get my point lol

[@gabrielherman8930]

Jared Harris also plays an American

[@myself_yuvraj]

I love this movie. Every actor in this movie is amazing but seriously the bromance between Henry and Armie is what makes this movie truly amazing.

It's rated about right. Not great, not bad.

[@tannerrotschy1984]

The “damn, I left my jacket in there” sounded like it came straight from archer

[@prathapkutty7407]

It's funny because cavill looks like a live action version of archer.

[@123haninhk]

The Man From U. N. C. L. E was actually a TV show back in the 60s. They planned to reboot it to a film franchise, but the plan went kaput after the movie didn't get the box office they needed and also the whole Armor Hammer scandal thing

[@Tao_Tology]

The chances of a sequel or series were over looooooooong before Hammer's texts and behavior came to light.

[@wolfman-up7dh]

This movie is criminally under-appreciated. It also may as well be Cavill's audition for James Bond.

[@ketchup016]

I can kind of see why they went with Daniel Craig just because Cavill would be a really similar Bond to Pierce Brosnan, imo, but yeah, he fits the role well.

[@zales6480]

Yeah i really hope he becomes the next James bong

[@cha0sly]

I watched this in the theatres with friends and I went in completely blind. Like didn’t even know it was an action or spy movie. The name certainly gave nothing away. And man it was such a treat, glad you guys are watching it!

[@DJKuroh]

Good to know people went in blind! I assumed more people knew about the TV show, like with Mission Impossible.

[@WyldstaarStudios]

The name gave everything away, if you're of a certain age. It was a very popular TV series that built on the popularity of James Bond.

[@flaggerify]

@@DJKuroh That first MI film was made nearly 20 years earlier than this one - when the show was still remembered.

[@cha0sly]

Fun fact: The actor who plays Donald "Ducky" Mallard in NCIS (the former medical examiner for the team who now serves as the team historian) portrayed Kuryakin in the original Man from UNCLE series.

[@dannybarna4444]

He also composed the song "The Edge" that was sampled by Dr. Dre in "The Next Episode"

[@LibertineDeSade]

This movie is so severely underrated, I love it! When I first watched it I wasn't expecting it to be so funny. I wish it had gotten a sequel, this had the potential to be such a great film franchsise. Shame it never happened.

[@EveryDayArtist94]

I cannot explain how excited I was when I saw this upload. This is quite possibly one of my favorite movies and I recommend it to everyone, it didn't get nearly enough love and Henry is so damn good in this. The editing, humor, music, I love everything here. I'm glad so many of the jokes landed so well and it's always fun to watch people appreciate how Guy Ritchie puts together an action sequence because he really is a master at it. The chemistry is really the biggest sell for me though, I totally buy in to the slowly developing friendship and can see is progressing into the relationship in the show.

[@brucewayne-bv4ok]

*The most underrated movie of the decade ! this movie deserves a sequel*

[@TheDestroyerX]

Unfortunately it bombed at the box office which it is disappointing because I like this movie and wish for a sequel

[@youngrootv]

Never gonna happen at least not with Armie Hammer in it

[@tomi6871]

For some reason, Calvin knowing about old Russian Lada cars made me more impressed than most things they have done 😃

[@Rolenz]

and yet, it was not one.. it was a Trabant. (google "trabant") Truly shitty german super cheap car, and the body is made from sort of a mix of plastic and carbon on later models if i remember correctly :P Its so light that we once took one of these, and just manually lifted it over a fence with 4 people, each grabbing a wheel.

[@pryex8565]

Calvin always knows the most random bits of knowledge and I love him for it

[@holly.lawton97]

My sister was going through a really rough breakup, and to take her mind of it, I suggested we go watch something at the cinema. Neither of us are big action movie watchers, but we didn't want to see a romcom, for obvious reasons, and this was in theatres so I was like f it, Henry Cavill is in it, we like him - one of the best decisions I'd made, we loved it, and it did its job, served as a perfect distraction. Such a shame it wasn't more popular at the time.

[@artificialraspberify]

I'm so glad they watched this. I had such an unhealthy obsession with it when it first came out and honestly I still love watching this even after so many watches. Guy Ritchie is honestly such a good director. I wish this film had come out while I had still been in film studies cause I would of 100% covered the cinematography in this film for my final assignment

[@shadowrites]

I rewatched this movie so many times that i can quote every scene lol such an underrated gem

[@drkushajagadeesh6347]

Yesss!! I absolutely loved this movie! This is what Henry Cavill's Bond would've looked like... And it's awesome!

I'm still hoping!🤞

[@007MrKaput]

I love that movie. The motorboat scene is legendary. I wish there would be a sequel someday...

[@moniqrupley6019]

Henry Cavill and Guy Ritchie are set to film a WW2 film in Turkey. I am secretly hoping it is a ruse and they are filming Man from UNCLE 2. They cast Alan Ritchson so here is hoping he is playing Kuryakin if they are!

[@RichHobo]

More Guy Ritchie movies! -The Gentlemen -King Arthur -Snatch

[@GConFilm]

This is such a fun movie, Guy Ritchie expressss his signature style throughout the entire film. The three leads are all excellent, plus the score by Daniel Pemberton is really well done. If this would have came out in 2016 or not in 2015 it could have done better. Glad you guys are reacting to this.

[@victorsi]

I got so excited seeing this reaction released. Really one of my favorite movies!

[@ketchup016]

Ranking Eric's 😍 in this reaction: 3. Solo and Illya together 2. Henry Cavill 1. That sandwich Solo ate on the boat

[@xXSkyCrystalXx]

One of my favorite movie's! Wish we got a sequel but the way things went with Armie... it's very unlikely unless they recast which would be fine, but they'd need to find someone who'd fit the role even better than Armie in my opinion. Either way, it's an underrated movie, so glad you guys reacted to it!

[@XxSherlockianHeroxX]

This movie and The Nice Guys are two of my favorite movies, despite them being not as popular as other movies. I wish there was a continuation of them, but that’s what the fandom is for, I guess.

[@Sombriage]

Such an underrated film. Sad that it wasn't that successful.

[@welshlad691]

I remember the original Man from UNCLE series, and I really enjoyed this film when it came out and still have it in my collection. I would class it as good old fashioned family viewing, as opposed to some more modern films where they seem to try so hard to overdo any bit of violence till it puts you off watching

[@ArmandoMPR]

What a great and purely entertaining movie. This is exactly why one goes to the theaters.

[@emilyrussell8847]

I remember seeing this at the cinema and enjoying myself a lot. The chemistry between the leads is BRILLIANT. So glad you guys got to watch this and enjoyed it so much. It shows how good Henry can be a comedy, I think. I wish more films allowed him to show that off. The original show is also wonderful.

[@Dr3Mc3Ninja]

This movie is a gem and it made me realise that Guy Ritchie is amazing at directing male friendships. It was released at a bad time, I think a majority of the fanbase came from streaming services, so WB had no idea how many people want a sequel. I only discovered this movie maybe 4 years ago but I have watched it 6+ times. Bought the blu-ray and soundtrack. Actors are all amazing. Directing is amazing. Soundtrack is amazing.

[@AltClickRepeat]

Cavill could be a good live action Archer 😂

[@ayaehab]

THIS was the movie that made me love Henry! I really really wish there was a sequel but with whatever the fork Armie has done we may never have it 🥲

[@ketchup016]

I wish they'd just recast Illya, it's not like Cavill can't have that same chemistry with someone else. Bring Alicia Vikander and Hugh Grant back and it'd still be good.

[@ayaehab]

@@ketchup016 I hope they do recast him eventually. Illya died in a horrible accident, here's a new agent.

[@Tao_Tology]

There was not going to be a sequel or series after the film didn't get great reviews or make enough at the box office. It was 2015. There were no plans that 'the Armie Hammer stuff' nixed.

[@Slimysnotnose]

I adore this film so much, glad you guys are checking it out!

[@njzynj]

I love this movie! I loved the original show. I always had a crush on Ilya, even though Napoleon was the lady's man. A cool call back to the original TV show. Ilya never kisses the girl. He comes close, but never consummates. That's pretty much Napoleon's job.

[@xexasperon]

at the end i think you are referencing Ana de Armas who learned the lines for her first english job phonetically (but has gone on to be in Knives out, Bond and now Oscar nominated). Alicia Vikander is already an Oscar winner for the Danish girl, but most would recognize her from Tomb Raider, ex Machina, Jason Bourne or Burnt with Bradley Cooper

[@midnightblue6668]

I never saw the original TV series, but I absolutely LOVE this movie. Every actor was amazing and I love the chemistry between the U.N.C.L.E. team. I have rewatched this so very many times. Might have to rewatch it again when I'm done here. Glad you reacted to this.

3:37 The car Ilya is in is not, in fact, a Lada, Calvin 😝, it's actually a Trabant, they're German and Rick is right about it being light as they're made of "duroplast, a material made from cotton waste and phenol resins" to quote wikipedia. We had them around a lot in Bulgaria when I was growing up, but I haven't seen one recently 😁Ladas are generally a lot more rectangular, at least the old ones.

[@dimitargenchev2889]

The car in the beginning is a Trabant 601. It was produced in East Germany, so I can excuse confusing it with a Lada (even though they don't look that much alike but they do have the "eastern block" look to them for sure). Funny fact about the Trabant - it's made from duroplast, which is basically kinda like fiberglass but is basically reinforced plastic with some cardboard fibers in the mix of the compound. My grandad told me this story that once he was riding with a friend that had a Trabant at the time and a hunting party scared some wild boars towards the road. A boar jumped in front of the car and they crashed into it. The boar just stood up, grunted and continued on his merry way. My grandad and his friend got out of the car, looked at the heavily dented front hood, opened it wide, punched and kicked it a couple of times to settle it back into a proper shape, after which just got back in the car and continued on their way. We jokingly referred to the Trabant as carton on wheels. Grandad had a killer orange Moskvich at the time, so I was team Moskvich all the way and we jokingly referred to the Trabant as carton on wheels.

[@Rmlohner]

The best part of this movie is that they looked at how the show's setup was completely dependent on its Cold War setting and would be pretty tricky to recreate in the present day, and said "You know what? Who says we can't just set it in the '60s?"
