Wonderful character development!

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

With great power comes a great responsibility... It was an enjoyable and light movie. Don't expect the movie to make any blockbusters or become a classic but if you nothing else to watch then it's worth a look at. I would rate it as a family movie since the plot is fairly simple and the action is not really violent.By the way i didn't know humans could withstand pressure in space or even breath in space... oh well and when coming down in the atmosphere things usually burn not freeze... these are small details but details are what make this movie childish.That said, all in all I can say I enjoyed the movie.

This film is good. It takes a genre and reinvents it, not by a terrific plot, but by placing an American superhero adventure plot in an unfamiliar setting. Strange things happen. The film depicts a modern Russian society through the lens of a superhero plot American style. Thats damn clever! Thats whats makes this film interesting. If it was an American film, the weakness of the story would put you off. Here it makes you smile, and happy - happy to realise that globalisation is a good thing, that dreams and wishes are intact in bleakish Moscow, that love exists . Its a feel good film, with characters that are much more interesting than any Hollywood feel good film since forever. The conflict between capitalism and moral comes over with a credibility that you couldn't get in another setting. And the car scenes are cool. This is no case of serendipity, the very fact that this script was written, this film produced and directed, is clearly true vision, and bar the tacky scientists - this film deserves 10 out of 10.

After the huge disappointment of Kick-Ass, I was pleasantly surprised by this little film from Russia. Don't want to give anything away, as I watched it knowing nothing about the movie and that was the best way to watch it. Sure, it borrows heavily from other hero movies, but the acting and the old fashioned heroics were enjoyable.Special effects I found to be excellent, especially some of the smoke trails. The bad guy in this movie is the same bad guy from the Nightwatch/Daywatch movies, also highly recommended.If you want to chuckle a bit, and have a few moments where you smile and murmur "Cool!", and want to root for the good guy to win the girl in the end, then I can recommend this movie.

Granted, the movie does contain ideas and motives from other superhero movies, yet the Russian cast has managed to present the story in whole new light.One thing that makes this movie more interesting is the fact that the action takes place at a different location - Russia (Moscow), not the well-known USA (Manhattan). Other things that differs from the majority of the created movies nowadays are the ways that characters express their emotions and the believes / principles they have.On the negative side there are moments with poor computer graphic effects and impossible physics which has had a negative influence on my vote.Overall this movie managed to keep me watching till the end. I can't say the same for other movies that seem to have higher ratings.
