The article pretty much hit the nail on the head with everything. So many nots to 007 and not enough to the original UNCLE. If it really was an attempt to reboot the series, they forgot one word...'cool'. The movie was definitely not that. I agree that Robert didn't look that good in it, unlike David. They have aged differently but are both still very handsome men to this day.
A weird side bar; I've always wondered why Robert switched parting his hair to the other side. I think he always looked better with the way he parted it while filming the original series.
I guess actors try to do somethings to change their appearance to disassociate themselves from previous roles, like the way David grew his hair so long (not a good look for him, but neither were those awful checked or plaid jackets he wore either. week)
