Milk_Tray_Guy I'd been looking forward to seeing this since I first saw the trailer a couple of years ago. And y'know what, I enjoyed it. More than Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron, and (just to show no studio bias) more than DC's Justice League. Basically, think the Avengers - from the perspective of the Winter Soldier programme. The leads are likeable (including Russian 'Gerard Butler', and Russian 'Chris Hemsworth'), and all the women are insanely hot. Seriously, every woman in the Russian Military/Intelligence looks like a supermodel! Some of the criticisms about pacing are valid, and the movie is pretty generic as far as superhero flicks go; but this is Russia's first attempt at the genre, of course they're going to include some 'cool stuff' they've seen in the US movies! The plot is really thin, little more than an excuse to hang the action on to be honest, but the CGI is pretty darn good (other than 'were-bear', where it drops a notch for some reason). And they made this whole thing for the equivalent of $5 million! If we get a sequel (there is a mid-credits teaser...) I'll definitely watch it.

northyuk Some good action scenes but the acting is awful, not sure if I'll make it through to the end. The way the enemy boss looks is laughable reminds me of watching power rangers series in the early 90's

info-12388 I'm being generous with the rating, I know, because in its bones this thing is terrible... but in a dementedly fun kind of way. I wont rehash the plot — it's all there. Instead, let's focus on the thing that provides the most laughs: the Chris Hemsworth lookalike who transforms into a bear. IN a film that has a much CG work as this, his human/bear appearances are about as lame as the first CG crack at the Hulk. But when (1) he gets KOs with a single punch from the Bad Guy and (2) finds himself on a wire that's taking him on a ride above Moscow, the expressions are pricelessly hysterical. Of course the villain probably lives at the end. And the final line, suggesting there will be more to this franchise, is delivered with the excitement of a Sears catalogue.But thing is, it's genuinely funny, perhaps for all the right reasons — an over the top Bad Guy, a bear with identity problems, a TV commentator who assures us that everyone who lost their home during the big dust up will be provided housing while their homes are rebuilt by the government... I mean, what's not to love in a film that cares so much about millions of people we never get to see?Put the popcorn in the microwave and the brain in neutral and watch it. Grand idiotic fun.

benjeshetu The plot is very rushed. It took them 15 minutes to get the team together, even though they were all hiding. The avengers took 40 minutes and 5 movies to get their team together. The CGI is acceptable for 5 million $. It's better than the last air bender which costed 150 million $. The movie feels like you're watching it on fast forward.they have the worlds worst villain. He is a mix of bane and whiplash.i hope they fix it all in the sequel
