Obviously a fairly large budget went into this movie, but they failed to spend any real money on decent actors. Pain, fear, shock and awe just revolve around the opening of the mouth (especially from the hot invisible chick).
Bear man looked ok when he was a bear man, and when he was a man. The transmorphing was bit questionable. Even more questionable was the fact that when he went full bear (twice in the same final big battle), his trousers were ripped apart where he increased in size. Both times when he then appeared in man form, he had trousers back on. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad he didn’t just have his junk dangling about, but continuity is important.
Subtitles seemed like they were written by a Neanderthal, with lines such as “but I realise the change me” and “tonight the painful and embarrassing”.
Aside from criticisms, it was a fairly enjoyable movie, however I won’t ever be watching it again. Plus, invisible chick is hot.
فیلمی که قهرمانهایی بجز قهرمانهای مارول را بوجود آورده بود.

So.... I saw the trailer for this some time ago and it did seem incredibly stupid but also intriguing. A russian Avengers? Why not!
But after the floods of bad reviews and press it got everywhere I watched this expecting the absolute worst.
And you know what? Going into it like this actually made it all the better. Sure, it was still incredibly stupid, littered with holes and nonsense but ALSO with some pretty good action sequences, some decent creativity and while many were complaining about bad CGI I think this was incredibly well done for a movie with a paltry budget of only $5 Million?!?
Not sure why this is supposed to be one of the WORST movies of all time if you believe some, I certainly was entertained and had some good laughs, even if only at some of the incredibly stupid things in it. :D
But yeah, don't write this movie off. Watch it while expecting the absolute worst and you MIGHT be pleasantly surprised.
I'm kinda looking forward to part 2 now. :x
A good concept that just does not have a story to back it up. Also no team chemistry.
People are biased. They're giving a bad rating just because this is not a Disney movie and because it's Russian, let's be honest. For a production without a multimillionaire budget it was surprisingly good. Of course the CG sometimes it's ridiculous, but after some time, you kind of forget about it. The action and fight scenes are really good. I really appreciated the Villain; he's not only strong, he's cleaver and intelligent. I hope there's a continuation, cause I am willing to wait for it. Me and my family had a great time watching it.
A good try but not really a great one. It felt very randomly and incoherent, the story was too poor. I liked the visuals though. If you are into superheroes movies just see it and don't expect much.
Just imagine you were making the Avengers but didn't have any of the rights to it and you also didn't really have much time to come up with these things
Story
Characters
Backstory
Music
Now imagine instead you spent a lot of your time on these things
CGI
A transformation sequence of a man bear turning into an actual bear
It's like budget Avengers and it's bad but not bad in the good way like The Room is so bad it's good. I will admit there were a few times I was like whatttt though it was mostly due to the absolute stupidity of the plot or the ineptitude of the heroes in this film. There's basically only 1 bad guy and the good guys get caught almost instantly by his henchman. I'm not sure these are the heroes the generic military organization really need to sort out the world's ills.
The heroes themselves are kind of bland even if on the surface they have potential, you have
1. Man who can turn into a bear man or can turn into a full bear. Once you give him a mini gun he's about as effective. Oh and it auto targets when he's in bear form so why have it manually target at all normally? Oh and the bad guy can just punch him and knock him out
2. Rock guy, he can control earth and stones and what not, he can also go half the thing if he wants but he can't obviously cover himself entirely in stone. They upgrade his suit so he has some rocks built in along with a whip that I guess has stones in it that uses electromagnets to cut his enemies. Oh and the bad guy can just hit through his rocks and knock him out then break his spine.
3. Fast guy with blades who can basically run faster than a bullet and cut people up but is almost instantly hit with a sleep dart. Then they upgrade his suit so it has quite a large codpiece. The bad guy just punches him even though technically speaking he should be able to dispatch him with no problems.
4. Invisible lady has forgotten her past and now she's joining up to fight for the chance of getting that memory back. So she can't actually be invisible unless she's in water or apparently as long as it's raining. This power seems really specific... oh and she can resist really cold and hot stuff. Which is good because about 30 minutes in she's standing under a pipe and gets hit with something really cold and frozen solid. Sure is lucky it wasn't bear man or rock guy
Bad guy
1. Lightning/electrical man who can basically control anything with electricity in it(even things that probably need someone to physically press something). Oh and he's really strong and looks like a potato with whatever face prosthetic they used. He wants to take over the world because someone done him wrong.
The music was like some really bland version of The Avengers and I know I keep going back to that but it's hard not to compare it to it. I guess maybe you could compare it to The Fantastic Four and it might actually like quite good in comparison.
Unless you are really really bored and have a few brain cells to lose don't watch this movie. Or just watch Corridor Crew's react video where they react to bad and good russian CGI and you'll see basically enough of the movie to understand what it's all about.
This movie lacks personality. But you gotta give 'em credit for the special effects.
better then most of the American comic movies and with only about 10% of the money Hollywood spends
A little bit of Avengers, a little bit of X-Men, and a little bit of Fantastic Four. Writing and continuity are all over the place, but some interesting ideas. Also kept seeing Scar Jo and Ryan Reynolds ... :)
I remember seeing the Trailer a few years back and wanted to watch it but didn’t get the time to and forgot about it, till I was looking for something to watch and seen it on Tubi..I remember hearing about the reviews before and people were saying this movies was Poor and Garbage..After I watched it I enjoyed it. The CGI was done well but I feel The Story was rushed and could of been better…But for a Non American Superhero movie is was good and and worth the watch..Would like to know a little more of The Character’s any fellow up to this movie if they gonna make any.
If you watch it with the original German synchronization it's gold!
Feel asleep watching it so went back and tried again but fell asleep a second time. It's too bad this film is too bad.
Russian Avengers ? Yeah, no. But Russian Justice League ? We're not that far.
I didn't have any problem with the CGI, it was actually pretty good for a low budget movie, and honestly, the quality and integration is not that far from Justice League. Fight scenes and choregraphy are pretty good too.
Worse point: the actors are totally inexpressive. All of them. And it's very disturbing because every character has their little mandatory sob story moment and it looks like they're telling you they bought some bread this morning.
Characters have almost no backstory, and they barely interact with each other. But yeah, given the actors' level, I guess we're not missing much. And again, they have as much introduction and story as Justice League characters.
The story is pretty basic. Introduction. Find the superpowered guys. They attack and get their ass kicked. The villain does his thing. They powerup. Final fight. They win. But the way it's done is very amateurish. But once again, so is Justice League on most of this points.
Like the intro could have been just words on black screen, or a reenaction. But it's a military guy doing a presentation, just the way you would do a movie intro. It feels very weird.
Assembling the team is done in a finger snap, it's basically just a characters' powers demonstration.
The first attack is the only thing looking like a real written scene.
In the middle you get each character's little sob story, though it almost feel like it's just narrated because it had to be there.
Their new costume are pretty much useless, but somehow it got them stronger ? OK the bear with the big gun is fun. But can't see what it brings to the others. And Ler just turn his stone power tohaving a kind of electric whip... why ?
And the final action is pretty ridiculous. They're just told secondhandedly that they can share energy. And boom, they can turn themselves into a super kamehameha machine by just touching each other, and make it work ion the first try.
Still it's watchable.
Didn’t mind this film, wish it got a sequel or hope it does
Incredibly absurd, boring without a good story. One of the worst movies of my life, I love movies and I always have fun, but this horrible movie did not even finish watching it. See it under warning.
Bad acting, clunky storyline and nice special effects. Just like your average Hollywood blockbuster.
Horrendous script and storyline that is not possible to look past or even laugh at. At the end you're just left shocked, wondering whoever greenlit the poetry of this trainwreck. It's a shame too, because it really had potential.
Film low cost. j'ai trouvé beaucoup mieux Les Gardiens de la Galaxy. Histoires similaires mais mieux jouée, plus de moyens également... A éviter
This Russian avengers are curious, they do what they can with little money

I was very pleasantly surprised, definitely above Doom, Cobra, etc class of movies. It' doesn't have a genre behind it like Marvel, but it seems to have a good X-Men like origin for a single story as a movie. Fun stuff.
