Likes : I'm actually surprise that this wasn't a bad film from a TV series, as normal when you make a film out of a tv series they normal turn out to be really bad or just a feature length episode of the series itself but its good to see that they didn't take this direction with this film.
I'm not normally a fan of Guy Ritchie film, but i kind of like this film, i think the casting was well casted for their own roles ; some of the banter dose fall flat at times but there are some funny moments as well that balances that out, because i actually found myself chuckling at curtain points as they well just comical moment.
The good thing as well which i noticed it allowed Armie Hammer to shine in the lime light with Henry cavil on a level playing field, which sad he last film lone ranger he was over shadowed by a big star, i think having Henry carvil & Ammie hammer two rising actors together was great casting as they didn't come off as over shadowing each other.
Alicia Vikander was great supporting cast loved her character special in curtain part she was funny, brilliant performance, as well as the other female role actually playing the films villain Elizabeth Debicki which she actual pulled off this 60s style female villainess amazing performance.
This is in terms of the genre, incidentally extremely cautious and Guy Ritchie looks fortunately not as necessary on, aufzufahren too exaggerated action set pieces or our characters come hell or halfway around the world to hunt. Instead, we focus on the characters and some selected scenarios in Europe.In short everything was really good.
  

Dislikes : the only problem this film dose have is that it can be a little blend in places & the subtitles are hard to read while watch the film as the appear then dispear to quickly you miss diology which is why i think this film could of done with out the language speech having to have to use subtitles wasn't really needed.

Overall : Great casting, a little blend in place but funny in some scenes. this was a OK film

Rating: 4.7 out of 5 for entertainment / 7.1 out of 10 for concept
