The MINISTRY of UNGENTLEMANLY WARFARE || First Time Watching | Movie Reaction and Review

[@d4mdcykey]

Guy Ritchie films are not only a blast to watch, they are a master class in tight efficient editing, the timing is impeccable.

[@jakemawston6753]

I love that you react to the things no one else does but should!

[@chrissiereacts]

😊

[@theylied1776]

Yes, that is Ian Fleming. The author of the James Bond novels. He was in British military intelligence during World War II. After the war it branched off into two divisions... one called MI5 and the other MI6. This story is about 40% accurate. And Ian Fleming based James Bond on three of the characters in this movie.

[@potterj09]

Also creator of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the most badass car ever.

[@MrKINSM]

The 60% that was fake involved all the shooting.

[@ArchaeoWolf]

True story: the last confirmed casualty to an English Long bow was a German sentry in ww2, fired by a soldier named “Mad Jack” Churchill.

[@LordVolkov]

Guy Ritchie and Henry Cavill work really well together. You would also love The Man From UNCLE, their first collab.

[@bis_cuts2987]

Man from uncle just as much cool

[@Psilocybin77]

I rewatched U.N.C.L.E. over Christmas, along with this one for the first time. That scene with Alicia Vikander and Armie Hammer in the hotel room, as she dances around the room, just does it for me. Also, the boat chase scene with that beautiful Italian song playing, I find so mournful and really reaffirms what the characters are all about. (Armie Hammer has a podcast of course, and he's explained what he really said that people misinterpreted, and I genuinely feel for the guy).

[@LordVolkov]

@Psilocybin77 The boat chase is my favorite scene! 🥪

[@Psilocybin77]

@@LordVolkov Also the song "Peppino Gagliardi - Che vuole questa musica stasera" so beautiful....

@@Psilocybin77 Even in a period piece, Ritchie nails the needle drops

[@shanegooding4839]

Awesome! Thanks Chrissie! 😁 Ian Fleming was actually in the British Secret Service during the war and James Bond was based on people he knew. This is a highly fictionalized retelling of what he actually did however but still great fun.

[@chrissiereacts]

Very cool!

[@ryanhill-x6m]

hey I’m Ryan I have a movie request Austin powers international man of mystery and if you can please wear gloves to

[@gawkthimm6030]

@@chrissiereacts I heard it explained that this guy Major Gus and a Balkan spy was both the inspiration for bond; Duško Popov a Serbian intelligence agent who served as a double agent for MI6 during World War II. Feigning to be an asset of the German Abwehr, he passed off disinformation to Germany. famouse for dinking and womanizing with high ranked germans.

[@davidareeves]

Since you loved this, you might just like a short series called SAS rogue heroes too ;)

[@SteveKaye-yl7te]

My uncle was a army combat engineer in WW2 he was Jewish. He was part of liberating 2 different concentration camps. It’s fair to say. The Nazis guards and officers had a very bad day each time. Including the town people who claimed to have no idea what was happening. They had a rough few days digging graves and burying the thousands of dead bodies. The few who said no were shot Right away, my uncle even in his 80’s before he died said he regretted not killing more of them. I still have thier Nazi helmets, bayonets, hats. Ensignia, etc,

[@HerbertTwack]

Operation Mincemeat is perhaps another one to check out. A true story about another mental British operation, also featuring Ian Flemming. A lot more serious than this, but a great film.

[@GilmerEricSmith]

I love the music Chris Benstead has done for these last few films

[@Paul_Allaker8450]

Eiza Gonzales nails her British accent in my opinion. And her character in real life married Gus Philips. Great reaction Chrissie. 👍🏻

[@chocolate-teapot]

Jack Churchill aka "Mad Jack", was an British ww2 soldier who also used a bow and arrow, and a sword.

[@leonrussell9607]

Was he English? Or scottish Something in-between? Internet isn't giving much conclusive information

[@chocolate-teapot]

@leonrussell9607 he was British but was born in Colombo, British Ceylon

[@BassMatt1972]

great movie, simply superb.. Yes, like the author. He did actually select targets and did British Intelligence work during the War.

[@joshcoll2518]

People in Hollywood said this bombed but it was given a very limited run in America only !!! In a handful of cinemas only , it's a British film about real British soldiers about the real man James bond copied by Ian Fleming directed by guy Ritchie and we in UK couldn't go to see it on big screen , no wonder it didn't make money almost as if Hollywood can't risk people showing the films we really want to see

[@Psilocybin77]

It has re-affirmed my hatred of the modern studio system and general movie going audiences. When drek like the fiftieth Wolverine movie with Ryan (barf) Reynolds makes a billion dollars, and films like this go unnoticed, it makes me legitimately sad for what we have lost. Storytelling is so integral to the human experience, and by extension movies are a wonderful outlet for that. I don't consider most superhero movies storytelling in the Jungian sense.

[@nickmaclachlan5178]

Did it even play in movie theatres? I thought it was solely available on the Amazon Prime Video platform?

[@damienolympia3702]

I stumbled across the full hd movie, a print not a cinema filmed rip off - here on youtube literally a day after release and it stayed up for weeks.

[@bertalach]

I also think that Cavill was negotiating his Warhammer series at the time this came out and having him as a bankable star would have made it harder to short change him and get their way!

[@MrKINSM]

@@nickmaclachlan5178 It was released in about 3,000 American theaters (about 3/4ths of all) and did not do well....but it was barely advertised. Similar to another Guy Ritchie film, the Man from U.N.C.L.E. Neither made a ton of money but will go down as higher rated than box office totals would suggest.

[@KipDrordy666]

Great reaction Great movie Disappointing that it didn’t do well at the theaters , very underrated movie 🤪

[@ray.shoesmith]

11:12 Hugo Stiglitz

[@rayne2714]

The reason they did not just "switch on" the engines of the ship is that in those days and even to day on some ships it takes hours to fire up the boilers and get the pressure up to to be able to move the ship. im not to hot on how long it would take i was British Army not Royal Navy.

[@phj223]

I haven't seen this movie, but I'm not sure you're supposed to almost die of laughter at the scene where Henry Cavill and Alan Ritchson slaughter everyone..! 😅

[@chrissiereacts]

They were naz*s! 😂

[@phj223]

@chrissiereacts fair point 😂

[@geraldnogher5157]

Loved your reaction to the movie

[@robertnichol3669]

this film should have done better at the box office....such a great flick

[@claymore2of9]

the Royal Navy does have lieutenants.

[@markhill3858]

yes ian fleming, creator of james bond, was a real intelligence operative in ww2 :) thats why bond is so realistic lol

[@pfeventsorganiser]

Brilliant Movie Guy Ritchies talents are epic in directing this type of ilm and playing actors in new types of roles, Also Guy Ritchie created a mini series of the Matthew McConaughey's Movie "The Gentlemen" which is just as good as the film and dives deeper into the goings on

[@educatednumpty71]

While you have to love the film for displaying the British ability to understate things. Tthe one major fault is that in real life not a shot was fired in taking the ship. Also if you like this, you should check out Rogue Heros which is the real story behind the formation of the S.A.S. And yes we say Lieutenant, which is the correct way and not Leftenant which Americans changed to make it easier to spell.

[@andrewpalmer3213]

Thank you.

[@dnf-dead]

Please watch the bloopers 😊

[@graemefeeney2256]

I thoroughly enjoy Guy Ritchies style. I make an effort to watch any of his work. Hopefully you react to Rocknroller and Wrath of Man. Another 2 excellent additions.

[@justintuisamoa4191]

Yay you're back

[@K9Weddings]

If you enjoyed this you would like the TV series SAS Rogue Heroes. It's the same sort of action with some comedy telling the story of the start of the SAS in World War II

[@kristianturner-zq2fm]

I've seen some people bash the film and I don't know why I thought it was a lot of fun and henry cavill was awesome as usual

[@karmic-fleas]

In the Navy it is is Lootenant. In the Army it is Leftenant....

[@chrissiereacts]

Oh! I never realised, thanks!

[@MichaelSorensen-bl3ec]

It's also different pronunciation between American and British English speakers.

[@chippydogwoofwoof]

Chrissie I love your reactions if you ever have space for a new series to react to please consider watching Fargo, there are 5 seasons but each season is it's own story and all of them are great. I believe you would really enjoy its dark humour it also has a host of well known actors Bob Odenkirk, Chris Rock, Billy Bob Thornton, Kirsten Dunst, Ewan McGregor & Ted Danson to name just a few.

[@Patriiiiick]

16:47 Good catch!

[@johnpoile1451]

Well worth a read, while you're at the bookshop "Operation Mincemeat" by Ben Macintyre, another slice of ingenuity, deceit and cunning.

[@smigoltime]

I loved this movie, moreover that its based on a real story, loosely, but indeed it is :D

[@theylied1776]

There was a soldier during World War II who fight for the British that fought Nazis with a Bow and Arrow and a Bowie knife. His name was Mad Jack Churchill.

[@timholder6825]

Nope, broadsword.

[@theylied1776]

@timholder6825 You might want to look it up. There were several eccentric soldiers fighting for the British. Mad Jack Churchill used a bow and arrow and a Bowie knife on the battlefield.

[@d4mdcykey]

@@theylied1776 Actually, according to Wiki: 'Nicknamed "Fighting Jack Churchill" and "Mad Jack", he fought in the Second World War with a basket-hilted Scottish broadsword, and a set of bagpipes. He has been mythologised as having also used a longbow, but according to an interview given by Churchill, the bow was destroyed when run over by a lorry before he could put it to use.'

[@leonrussell9607]

​@theylied1776 it was a basket hilted broadsword

[@theylied1776]

@leonrussell9607 And his name was?

[@nicksykes4575]

Although the result of the mission was the same, with the three ships stolen, during the real mission, no shots were fired, and no one died, but that would have made a pretty boring movie. Later in the war Anders Lasen transferred from the Special Operations Executive to the granddaddy of all military special forces, the SAS or Special Air Service. He died in Italy about 10 days before Germany surrendered. He was shot while accepting the surrender d of a German bunker

[@Shoomer88]

Shooting someone during a surrender is a massive dick move.

[@nicksykes4575]

@@Shoomer88 Totally agree, Anders's men took exception to it too, I'll leave the details to your imagination!

[@przemekkozlowski7835]

Unfortunately, most of the heroes shown in this movie did not survive the war. I wish the movie would have honored that in the ending but it would have made for a depressing end to a movie.

[@MrKINSM]

The sad thing is that most of the "characters" in the film - who are real people - died before the end of the war.

[@donno1970]

I saw a lot of people can this movie, but I liked it. As you said, it was a fun movie. If you liked this, then you should check out the series 'SAS Rogue Heroes'. Season 2 just released.

[@wulfgold]

Yeah, it's not Mr. Maddona's best work, but an "enjoyable romp" covers it. Drink beer switch off brain, laugh along and watch pretty fireworks. It's ok, the sort of film you can watch with mates talking through it. Yes, this is loosely based on real people and events - Fleming included.

[@chrissiereacts]

Pretty much what I'm looking for out of a movie lol

[@wulfgold]

@@chrissiereacts it's fun + bombastic. Scraping in at the end of last year - A Different Man should be seen, I've watched it once so far and I'll leave it to digest, but wow. Then again, I really enjoyed Joker: Folie...

[@reagansmash2978]

It was sailors. Lieutenant is pronounced “lootenant” in the Navy and “leftenant” in the Army and RAAF (Air Force).

Happy New Year. Ahem, watch Strange Days 😂

[@timholder6825]

People compared Guy Ritchie to Quentin Tarantino. Guy did, Lock Stock, Quentin did Reservoir Dogs. Guy did Snatch. Quentin did Pulp Fiction. Guy did this. Quentin did Inglorious Basterds. It's like they're mirroring each other in their own styles. I don't rate Kill Bill, or The Gentleman. Quentin then went westerns. Guy went Sherlock Holmes. Could there be more of an epitome of UK vs. USA.

[@tahnadana5435]

this is such a bad movie...there's no stakes, every "good guy" in this is too OP to make it an interesting story, watch SAS Rogue Heroes instead

[@Psilocybin77]

not every fkin movie needs to be dark and gritty, or a deconstruction of the genre. Remember "FUN" movies?

[@tahnadana5435]

@@Psilocybin77 fun movies? this movie sucks not because its not dark and gritty, but because its edgelordy and pretentious, which is the worst kind of "DARK AND GRITTY", this is not even fun for guy ritchie standard, (are you one of those unrealistic fan who is still waiting for henry cavil to be in a successful movie? well, dont hold your breath while waiting, because its never going to happen) i would rather hollywood give chances to more unknowns than a known names making movies they halfheartedly want to make

[@Psilocybin77]

@ you highlight a huge problem with the internet. You treat opinion as incontrovertible fact, and yours is the correct one. You also make all sorts of wildly inaccurate assumptions based on your own OPINION. None of what you say has any basis in my previous statement. I like Cavill fine, but I have no stake in him. Finally, if you think this is dark and pretentious, I’m assuming you’ve been raised almost entirely on Disney products and milk toast.
