Looks 'aight. More comedic than I actually expected.

I think it looks pretty good. It certainly is better than what I was expecting; the film wrapped over a year ago and I was wondering if the studio was going to dump this thing. Cavill seems cool, but it's odd that he's playing an American and Arnie Hammer, an American, is playing a Russian (and not with a very good accent).

Looks promising. I like that they are keeping it set in the sixties rather than present day. Although according to the press online Napoleon Solo is CIA, I thought U.N.C.L.E. was supposed to be the organization Napoleon worked for in the show? Kind of defeats the title if they don't actually have U.N.C.L.E. featured in the movie itself.

I assume he starts off as a CIA agent and is then moves onto U.N.C.L.E. This is supposed to be the origin story/reboot.

I'll check it out on Netflix, if I remember to.

This looks like a mix of OSS 117 remake and X-Men First Class.
Kuryakin as this face that you can't remember after watching the trailer.
No UNCLE Goldsmith theme, no sale.

It probably doesn't matter overly about Hammer's Russian accent ... I don't recall McCallum attempting one at all in the TV show.
Speaking of which, I wonder do him and Vaughn have cameos?

I hope they have cameos. Reading Vaughn's book lately he said that McCallum never attempted the accent. As long as there's no dancing with gorillas or whatever Vaughny had to do I won't mind. Still never seen the series.

Apparently he's not having a cameo, which is why he hates Superman:
I've been wanting to watch the series for a long time, but I don't have access beyond purchasing the DVDs. Would be nice to have it all available for streaming. Amazon did let me watch the first episode for free, and I like what I saw. It's pretty much James Bond for TV.

Looks like a really fun time. I'm liking the style (from what I can see from the trailers).
