    MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
    Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
    Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
    Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
    Alexander Kravchenko The '60s were a golden age for television, in the days before political correctness and when everything was easy (sort of) and stylish, and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. was no exception.Here you have the dashing, handsome, and womanising American spy Napoleon Solo, the cute, blonde, hunk of a Soviet spy Illya Kuryakin, and the embodiment of a stereotypical English gentleman and head of the U.N.C.L.E. Mr. Alexander Waverly, all fighting against the evil forces of their greatest enemy THRUSH.Also, the equipment they used were way ahead of their time.Another thing I particularly have to mention about this show, is Barbara Feldon of Get Smart fame's appearance in the episode, "The Never-Never Affair", as a Portuguese weather translator Mandy Stevenson. She just looks so darn beautiful and gorgeous , especially when after she takes off her glasses, with her lovely voice to match. Also, I could really see the bonding (this being a spy series, no pun intended) between Napolean and Mandy in the scene in which they are both captured.All and all, this show is great, and in my opinion redefined the spy genre.R.I.P. Robert Vaughn (1932-2016)
    kamachol I was a young boy when this came on in the 60's. I was hooked, and my Mom let me stay up late on the nights that it was on. I even had Man from U.N.C.L.E pajama's with a glow in the dark badge !!! I remember having the lunch box, and maybe even trading cards...Some studio should produce a remake movie, baby boomers would certainly turn out for it...Maybe Own Wilson, Ben Affleck,Ewan McGegor, any of those actors would be a good fit. We need more shows on television today like those in the 1960's.Too many Doctor/CSI types of shows on TV today... What happened to the Cabnnon's, Mannix,McCloud, and Starsky & Hutch types of shows?
    cshaffer This show which debuted on NBC in September 1964 was the first movie or show to cash in on what was becoming the "James Bond Phenomenon". With only two Bond films released and the blockbuster "Goldfinger" to be released in the US at Christmas time "The Man from UNCLE" was the first introduction to secret agents for many people. Each week Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin saved the world or part of it from the evils of Thrush, an organization bent on world domination.It started as a cult show but quickly became a hit and at times the #1 show in the ratings to losing it's focus by the third season when it decided to copy the campy tone of the "Batman" TV show which turned off viewers who had liked the more serious tone of the first two seasons. As someone growing up in the sixties the Christmas of 1965 was flooded with secret agent toys with "The Man From UNCLE" even rivaling James Bond as far as toys and other product tie-ins. For a lot of people including myself this is their all time favorite TV show.
    raysond My dad used to watch this show during the first two seasons of the show,and I immediately became hooked! The Man From U.N.C.L.E was one of the best spy shows ever to come out of a period which the cold war,civil rights,and the height of the Vietnam War was a great escape for young minds back then. Since the show was a huge hit on the NBC network when it premiered on September 22,1964,it was something that no one thought of at that time: a character who was in the same ranks as James Bond 007 himself! The gadgets on that show were awesome(pens that acted as a radio to phone back at headquarters;an automobile with a built in machine gun and seat ejector)and the headquarters of the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement which were secretly hidden in a tenement complex in New York..something to beholded!!! Robert Vaughn was a true gentlemen and a suave secret agent who was in the same category as Sean Connery,but he made the role very interesting as Napoleon Solo,and his Russian counterpart Illya,played by David McCallum,the coolest ever with a 60's shag blonde look(who looked like a rock star instead of an secret agent)!! The show's first two seasons were very dramatic and their was a great chemistry between the actors themselves which kept the action intense and very hipped!!! The sad part is that when the show's color episodes came it wasn't dramatic or very appealing anymore,but incredibly silly by the end of series' final run in 1968 (the 29 black and white episodes from 1964-1965 were the best ever and some of the best gadgets too). Jerry Goldsmith's theme score for the series was the best ever for a TV series,and still is to this day. U.N.C.L.E was so,so good it spawned two feature films,and dozens of toys,comic books,mystery novels,and posters,and can you believe that David McCallum have a hit record out based on the show back in 1965(which he teamed up with Nancy Sinatra on a hit song,which hit the top of the charts too-very rare to find that album nowadays),plus a very short-lived Saturday Morning cartoon show? The repeats are rarely seen on TV nowadays,but they can be seen on TNT every once in a while if possible. A total of 105 episodes were produced with 29 episodes of Season 1 were in black and white. 76 episodes of Seasons 2 thru 4 were in color until the series finale on January 15,1968.
