3.0 out of 5 stars Great Series-OK Reunion-Terrible recording to DVD, December 9, 2004

This review is from: Return Of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (DVD)

I have always been a big fan of the Man from UNCLE, and I own the VHS version of this recording. I was excited to see that it was released on DVD, and preordered it when I saw it was about to be released. I just watched the first 20 minutes, and was really disappointed. The video quality is very poor. It appears to be a recording from an old VCR, as the picture shakes back and forth enough to be really annoying. When Janice Friday is introduced, we are all introduced to the new "enhanced sound," whatever that means. Problem is, there is no sound at all for about five seconds. I may never watch the rest of the DVD, as the tape is actually superior in quality.

The video is not clean, and the sound is certainly less than advertised. I believe they made this in someone's garage. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because it is "The Man from UNCLE." My advice to all of my fellow fans is to try and find a VHS version and make your own DVD.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not This DVD, March 26, 2005

By 

Long time fan - See all my reviews

This review is from: Return Of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (DVD)

The series was great, the Return is okay, but the DVD is terrible. If they're going to re-release this series (and they should) then the DVD should be of better quality. What did they do with this one, record it off a TV screen? It's awful. Whoever thought fans of the series wouldn't notice is way off base. I'd really like to see the entire series come to DVD, but not like this. Get a clue, and do it right!

3.0 out of 5 stars The "It Could Have Been Better" Affair, February 7, 2005

This review is from: Return Of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (DVD)

For years, U.N.C.L.E. fans have been anxiously awaiting the release on DVD of the U.N.C.L.E.TV series...after all, if it can be released on DVD in Britain, surely the US can get it, right? Wrong! What we do get is this poorly manufactured, pathetic excuse of an issue of what could have been a fun movie although it does pale in comparison to the original series.

I was pleased to see in another review that the sound blanks out for 5 seconds at one point - at least I know it wasn't my copy. And if you haven't gotten this yet - be prepared - the sound will go out again later in the movie as well.

From a technical standpoint, it seems a first-year college film student could have done a better job.

Technical goof-ups aside, what we have here just merely whets the appetite for all the U.N.C.L.E. fans who are waiting for the original TV series and it's better than nothing. Here's hoping that when the powers that be do get around to issuing the original TV series on DVD (make it soon Lord, make it soon - those of us who were in our late teens/early 20's when the original series aired aren't getting any younger!), they'll also re-release this movie. U.N.C.L.E. fans deserve better.
