Ranking 2015's Summer Blockbuster Films From Worst To Best

15. The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

Guy Ritchie's big-screen adaptation of the classic 1960s spy series manages to be both a love letter to and somewhat amusing send-up of spy thriller tropes, and despite having so much working for it, a strangely forgettable script prevents it from being much more than a mildly entertaining romp. Armie Hammer and Henry Cavill make for a fun pairing thanks to their easy chemistry (even if the lovely Alicia Vikander is easily the film's biggest asset) and Ritchie's style is as flamboyant as ever, but the plot will probably exit your brain the second the credits roll, and it just doesn't do enough to sustain complete interest throughout its 20-minutes-too-long run-time. Certainly not a bad film, but just not exciting, sexy or funny enough to paper over its effortless plot and the simple fact that it's just not as enjoyable as all these elements suggest it should be. Even so, it certainly didn't deserve to bomb as colossally as it did at the box office, failing to even make its budget thus far.
