I couldn't make it through this film in my own home, never mind seeing it in the theater. I knew in advance it would not be a remake of the original tv series but this U. N. C. L. E. Was from a completely different family. I can understand why fans of the show are so upset with the film. From the very beginning we are missing the opening iconic U. N. C. L. E. Theme music. Napoleon and Illya bare zero resemblance to the tv characters. Napoleon had been on the wrong side of the law aftr WWII? No way! Illya was a robotic former KGB agent intent on killing Solo? No way! The introduction of Gaby, a car mechanic in the early '60s no less, was absurd. I gave up after 30 minutes and was glad I hadn't spent money in the theater for this fiasco.
