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.
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 !
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.
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
@@thelastlebowski3055 Second one? With Armie's ruined reputation, you think there would be a second one? Also, the movie didn't do well in the box office to greenlight a sequel.
I watched it for the first time last month, and it's always a pleasant surprise when Blind Wave reacts to something a little less recent that I've just watched for the first time. It's happened with Shawshank and a couple other things now too!
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
I love this movie so much. I watch it frequently as it is a good background movie. I'm also a pretty big Guy Ritchie fan, have loved Lock, Stock, &...for so long. You guys should give it a watch, if you haven't seen it before.
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?"
Truly underrated movie. Decent plot, good acting, great looking actors, sweet action. And the was a fun mobile game although there were some control issues, although it was a mobile game so what do you expect. I wish they made a sequel to this, but the box office wasn't great and Lone Ranger's off-screen issues popped up and put a total kibosh on that.
ive been a fan of this movie pretty much since i saw it in theatres when it came out and im so happy you guys are reacting to this obv henry is gonna henry but i just love the style and tone of the film
A "Non-Franchise" with Two T-V series with 105 and 29 episodes respectively, 8 feature films (9 counting this modern remake) two dozen novels, various comic books and an assortment of merchandise, how's that work?
OMG!!! This is one my *favorite* movies. I can watch it over and over and over again but NO ONE EVER KNOWS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT YAAAAAAAY PATREON POLL🎉🎉
Literally just watched this like a week ago for the first time because my co-worker recommended it. Solid 7/10 for me, I liked it. Weird coincidence that you'd do this now.
This is one of my favourite films of all time. It's not the greatest, but Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer as Solo and Kuryakin is comedy gold. I was in stitches from start to finish. It's good to see you guys enjoying it too.
Really glad you guys watched this! I stumbled across it a few years back and thought it was a great popcorn movie. For not being specifically a comedy, there is also a lot of humor and sharp dialogue.
The girl who had to learn english while filming was Ana de Armas, she had to learn english while filming War Dogs, she was also in the newest bond film.
One of my favs! This movie is actually really underrated. The chemistry between the entire cast was so good and the film as a whole is really entertaining. And Henry Cavill was an absolute delight!
i've been waiting for this commentary! i watched this movie when i was in my henry cavill phase last year and i kept rewatching it because it's so good!
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.
The smaller car in the beginning is not a Lada, it is a Trabant, also called Trabbi. It is a Car-brand (they had 2) from the DDR, German Democratic Republic. They had to wait years to get one ^^
Maybe you guys could react to the The Count of Monte Cristo featuring a much younger Henry Cavill. He's not in the lead role though. But that's a good movie in general to react to.
It would be great if you went through more Ritchie flicks, or at least the two Sherlock movies. And to add to their competitive nature, two guys arguing over what works with Gabby's outfits, that's gold.
This was an attempt to resurrect *style* in movies. The TV show was silly 1960s spy sci-fi ("spy-fi") but had good main actors. (Illya Kuryakin was played by David McCallum, now best known as Dr Mallard from NCIS.)
How lucky is Alicia Vikander? Gets to work with Hugh Grant, Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer. Married to Michael Fassbender. That is a lot of Man Meat right there!
Raw Rider Patrons can watch the Full Length Reaction HERE: blindwavellc.com/the-man-from-u-n-c-l-e-movie-full/
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.
Please guys, react to 2 wonderful show: dirk gently and his dark materials, its just mindblowing
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 !
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.
*swede but yeah 👍
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
Jared Harris also plays an American
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.
Yea, the way Armie gazed at Cavil. Almost like he was hungry. 🤔
@@thedarkfloyd7517 I see what you did
@@thedarkfloyd7517 Oh no...🥲
I can only agree. Cant wait for the second one.
@@thelastlebowski3055 Second one? With Armie's ruined reputation, you think there would be a second one? Also, the movie didn't do well in the box office to greenlight a sequel.
Well damn was not expecting this. Thought people had forgotten this movie and then my favourite reactors are watching it.
One of the most underrated films of 2015
Ikr! What a delightful surprise!
Exactly this
I watched it for the first time last month, and it's always a pleasant surprise when Blind Wave reacts to something a little less recent that I've just watched for the first time. It's happened with Shawshank and a couple other things now too!
@@chasehedges6775 probably just the most underrated spy movie of all time
Literally one of my favorite movies like it was so entertaining especially the amount of unhealthy times I’ve rewatched this movie 💀
So good to know I'm not alone. 🫂
Me too!! Love this movie so much
Same! That buggy over the river scene with that music is my go-to adrenaline moment scene!
It’s soo good
Henry cavill drinking wine with "Che voule questa musica" while army hammer was drowning was a chef's kiss of a scene😍😍
Alicia Vikander dancing and slapping Armie Hammer is my mother’s favorite part of this movie😂
a highly underrated movie, just pure entertainment fae start to finish.
It's rated about right. Not great, not bad.
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
The chances of a sequel or series were over looooooooong before Hammer's texts and behavior came to light.
The “damn, I left my jacket in there” sounded like it came straight from archer
It's funny because cavill looks like a live action version of archer.
This movie is criminally under-appreciated. It also may as well be Cavill's audition for James Bond.
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.
Yeah i really hope he becomes the next James bong
One of the best spy/action films of 2015.
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.
He also composed the song "The Edge" that was sampled by Dr. Dre in "The Next Episode"
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!
Good to know people went in blind! I assumed more people knew about the TV show, like with Mission Impossible.
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.
@@DJKuroh That first MI film was made nearly 20 years earlier than this one - when the show was still remembered.
@@DJKuroh never even knew there was an earlier tv show aha
@@cha0sly I only know because of the trip-hop group UNKLE, who got their name from the show.
For some reason, Calvin knowing about old Russian Lada cars made me more impressed than most things they have done 😃
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.
Calvin always knows the most random bits of knowledge and I love him for it
Yeah, but that was not LADA. It's Trabant.
@@khapankov regardless. The fact that he knew what it might be is good enough for me
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.
*The most underrated movie of the decade ! this movie deserves a sequel*
Unfortunately it bombed at the box office which it is disappointing because I like this movie and wish for a sequel
Never gonna happen at least not with Armie Hammer in it

I'm still hoping!🤞

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

Of all the movies that got a sequel, that one deserved one the most.
The theater I watched this in had a great crowd, everyone laughed constantly which really raised the experience
I love movies where different people, different contries work together. It brings me joy.
This movie is the sole proof that Henry Cavill can be an amazing James Bond.
I saw this movie in the cinemas with my dad and it blew us both away we are still sad it never got a sequel

Finally, someone reacted to this!
that sequence at 27:25, the shot, the music, the timing of everything.. just gives me goosebumps everytime.. a perfect sequence
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?"
The movie that made me go: "Wow, when you let this Henry Cavil guy emote and talk, he is super charming. Where was that when he was Superman?"
Henry has been cucked by Snyder and then again when he was in The Witcher.
Truly underrated movie. Decent plot, good acting, great looking actors, sweet action. And the was a fun mobile game although there were some control issues, although it was a mobile game so what do you expect. I wish they made a sequel to this, but the box office wasn't great and Lone Ranger's off-screen issues popped up and put a total kibosh on that.

Oh my god, finally I hope more people react to this fantastic movie.
One of my favorite movies of all time, in my top 10 movies for me. Love this movie✌🏼
I still think this movie is Henry Cavill's perfect audition to be the next James Bond.
This is a nice surprise. Love this movie. Glad more people see it.
Underrated movie. The style of this movie is just so fun
This is one of my favourite films of all time. It's not the greatest, but Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer as Solo and Kuryakin is comedy gold. I was in stitches from start to finish. It's good to see you guys enjoying it too.
One of my favourite movies of that year. Mainly because I saw it in a half empty theatre and had a blast. Cavill and Hammer’s chemistry is so good.
oh awesome, i love this movie! so glad to see y'all react to it
When this first came out me and my room mates when to go see it in theaters with no idea what it was and ended up loving it
Really glad you guys watched this! I stumbled across it a few years back and thought it was a great popcorn movie. For not being specifically a comedy, there is also a lot of humor and sharp dialogue.
This movie is the prime reason I believe Cavill would make the perfect Bond
The girl who had to learn english while filming was Ana de Armas, she had to learn english while filming War Dogs, she was also in the newest bond film.
Such an underrated film. I love the suave of Henry and his rivalry with Armie.
One of my favs! This movie is actually really underrated. The chemistry between the entire cast was so good and the film as a whole is really entertaining. And Henry Cavill was an absolute delight!
Alicia Wikander is from Sweden, and we start learning English in school when we are around 8-9 years.
I love this movie, cause it shows some love to the Royal Navy and SBS in an American made film, which is exceedingly rare!

Maybe you guys could react to the The Count of Monte Cristo featuring a much younger Henry Cavill. He's not in the lead role though. But that's a good movie in general to react to.
Love this film. So much fun to both watch & you imagine they had making it.
You guys definitely should check out The Gentlemen...
It would be great if you went through more Ritchie flicks, or at least the two Sherlock movies.
And to add to their competitive nature, two guys arguing over what works with Gabby's outfits, that's gold.
Such an inexplicably under rated movie, so glad to see you guys reacting to it. can't believe it never got a sequel.....
This was an attempt to resurrect *style* in movies. The TV show was silly 1960s spy sci-fi ("spy-fi") but had good main actors. (Illya Kuryakin was played by David McCallum, now best known as Dr Mallard from NCIS.)
How lucky is Alicia Vikander? Gets to work with Hugh Grant, Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer. Married to Michael Fassbender. That is a lot of Man Meat right there!
