Excellent but underrated film

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

1. Russian mythology is severely distorted in this movie to suite disney's templates.2. Movie features only noname actors.3. This actors either can't act or weren't allowed to do so.4. Soundtrack is mostly in english.5. Plot is obvious.6. Hero's journey template is used in the most unimaginative way.7. Humor in the movie is flat.

Great movie well done and well played very funny with original lines and language... mixed with modern day Russia aspects... and still keeping the tales and the culture! Great surprise and lots of LOLs.... long time no such in the movies..

I looooved this movie. It was amazing in every way and one day I will be showing it to my kids and there aren't many that deserve this "title" in my view.The humor and the fairy tale plot made it an enjoyable experience. The cast was great with actors who are very good and loved by many. The story had a lot of twists and and the graphics was awesome as well. This is a very well put movie that took the old fairy tale(s) and made it modern and it worked perfectly. I really hope there will be a part 2. It is far better than a lot of Hollywood movies and I can easily compare it to Harry Potter in terms of overall greatness or Maleficent in terms of the fairy tale as they have some similarities.

One of the best things that happened to Russian cinema since 1990-s. Even though under Disney supervision. The very best thing that happened to Russian "fairy-tale movie" tradition since the middle of XX century. The most wonderful approach to Slavic folklore and and folk tales. Yet, understandable to those not familiar with mythology. I can praise this movie in many other ways as well. Praise actors, and writers, and direction, and special effects... I haven't seen such a gem in many years! But the long and the short of it is: this "Posledniy bogatyr" ("~last hero, ~last warrior" is you want correct meaning) is totally worth seeing it whether you're Russian or not. You'll have 90 minutes of action, romantics, quite international humour, good personalities and picturesque evil masterminds. And a large piece of tradition and mythology as well.It's fun! I give you my word on that.
