Movie Reviews:
" It's breezy and elegant "” so breezily elegant it can make you laugh out loud from frame to frame," wrote David Edelstein from New York Magazine/Vulture.
"This is one of those rare instances when a sequel wouldn't just be warranted - it would be welcomed," wrote James Berardinelli from ReelViews.
"While it looks good - Ritchie has always been a slick visual stylist - it's ultimately as passive as an old rerun," wrote Adam Graham from Detroit News.
"Mesmerizing and clever, but more style than substance," wrote Nathalie Atkinson from Globe and Mail.
"Though it's made with lots of modern tricks and technology, it's old-fashioned in the best sense, and not just because it's set in the Sixties," wrote Stephanie Zacharek from Village Voice.
"This is neither a positive or negative on its own, but in the hands of director and co-writer Guy Ritchie, it all winds up feeling hollow and even slightly oppressive, an enforced sense of fun jabbed within quotation marks," wrote Mark Olsen from Los Angeles Times.
"While those moments give U.N.C.L.E. some spark, a forgettable and clunky plot and a dearth of really good spy shenanigans keep this Man from being as explosively groovy as it could be," wrote Brian Truitt from USA Today.
