ya, Man From UNCLE is the best spy movie of the year. In fact, it's possibly the best action movie full stop.

Honestly, I wasn't a huge fan the first time I saw it. But I saw it again a week later and my score went from a C+ to a B, then again up to an A- when I saw it again in November. Very narrowly missed my top 20 of the year.

1.MI 5

2. Kingsman

3. Spy

4. Man From Uncle

5. Spectre

 

Spectre was just so damn dull. The only things I liked was the opening, the train fight and the big ass explosion after they escape. Q was cool. 

 

The car chase was deathly boring. Nothing really happens until the very end when Bond flame throws the car and ejects himself out of it. Meh

 

MI5 and Kingsman were awesome!!

 

Spy was pretty fun and MFU was good. Vikander was great in it.

I thought UNCLE was one of the worst of the year.  Perhaps I'll have to see it again.

You're really strange lol

[Dan9]

I thought they didn't kill any dogs though? It's a blank.

 

I think Spy might be my favourite one of the bunch from last year. Because... Rose Byrne and stuff.

I could possibly buy the argument on on the first point. But not the second.

They don't but they suggest that killing dogs is the gentlemanly thing to do

They never say it's the gentlemanly thing to do. The whole point of the exercise is to ensure that the agent's #1 loyalty is to the program, because there may come a point when an agent has to be ordered to take out a friend who has gone bad and the agent has to be able to execute that order immediately without hesitation.

The movie preaches being a gentleman and never once shows anyone being a gentlemen. Its quite awful

[MrPink]

On top of that, it was a test of faith in what the Kingsman do, Firth clearly mentions in the scene after they wouldn't intentionally put a person (or a dog) in harm's way without proper reason which Roxy was able to pick up on.

Yeah I don't care about bull shit explanations. The movie justifies killing dogs

This, but Ethan is too young to understand something like this

but you don't mind the mindless slaughter of millions of people by a multinational conglomorate using head chip implants?

Miss as I.may have that's on the people who made the film not me.

If instead of a dog it had been Roxy, would you have been okay with it?

 

 

Because a trainee in a special program raising a pet and then being told to kill the pet is a very old trope in books and other media (and even in real life).

This is what John Green books do to kids, folks.

 

It justifies irrationality. Let it be known.
