Good film but way TOO SLOW for, short attention-span, modern audiences!

I just finished watching it on HBO and I now totally see WHY it underperformed at the box office

Man from U.N.C.L.E. is a film for adults, whereas the far more financially successful, Kingsman: The Secret Service, is a film for youngsters raised on YouTube and Vine clips.

I'm really surprised by how mature a film it is. I was honestly expected a flashy ADHD (Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) mess like Kingsman: The Secret Service.

I enjoyed it more than the last three James Bond films. It wasn't some 'grim and gritty' attempt (that is so popular these days). And it wasn't a parody of the genre either (which is also trendy).

You obviously know nothing about ADHD! This is from a person in her mid-60s who lived with it unknowingly till I was in my 50s. After diagnosis, I decided not to take a drug for it.

Your notion of what ADHD people can/can't deal with is wrong!

So one thread says this movie is too slow for today's audiences.

...while a different thread says this movie is way too FAST and hard to follow.

Why can't we make up our minds?

And please dispense with the disdainful and prejudiced remarks about diverse types of neurology such as ADHD.

That's funny, I thought it was typical fast paced crap from Guy Richie.
