The Last Warrior

In my opinion, this film is the ideal of a modern Russian fairy tale. The film mentions problems that are still relevant today: good and evil, courage, support at the right moment, and many others. It's not the first time I've watched this movie, and I'm still thrilled. I want to review it again and again. The actors did a great job, a great director and music. The atmosphere of the movie is just wow. The plot is unique and does not repeat any plot of famous fairy tales. I also really liked that the modern world and folklore are combined here. It's wonderful that we don't forget exactly what has always been ours.

A great movie. There is no other way for Disney. Excellent makeup, kind and not pretentious jokes. Actually a good, kind children's movie. This is a holiday movie, it is watched by family.

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..

This movie is quite suitable for family viewing.

A kind story, based on Russian fairy tales (facts may be a little bit distorted in order to fit the story) and combining the world of fantasy and the reality. It is worth mentioning that there are jokes not just for children. The film unravels some facts of Russian mythology and helps to understand better the culture. For Russian people, the cast is familiar, the actors are local celebrities (including voice actors). Enjoyed!

Decent fairy tales are really in scarcity on screens nowadays. When talking about Russian ones, there has even hardly been anything good enough lately. Though the movie Posledniy bogatyr as the last joint attempt of Russians and Disney seems to have finally born fruit.

The work, based on ancient Russian mythology, tries to muddle up some myths with the contemporary world. Even though it might be considered controversial at first, the approach is one of the main advantages of the film, since it by all means gives a new lease of life to the old stories and characters which are rather well-known, at least in the post-Soviet countries. The latter should definitely appeal to young generations of spectators.

Adding to that, the movie does not imply any political or social problematic context which is rarely absent in films produced nowadays. Thus, the product just does its job, concentrating on telling a fairy tale wittily and showing us marvelous scenes of another world.

Exploiting this mixture with the modern and ancient cultures, the film has some related downsides too. For instance, adding several pieces of popular music was rather a mistake, for they sound quite out of place. Generally hilarious atmosphere may also be slightly exaggerated at times and bear the perception of mocking renowned Russian characters. Apparently, it is not the major purpose of the creators, but merely a bid to attract international community that is hardly acquainted with this realm of Russian culture.

To summarize, the movie has a good chance to popularise some ancient Russian legends through giving them fresher modern guise. Despite being a light comedy, it would also be unfair to convict the work of being shallow, since it brings along a deep meaning of how changeable the human nature is and how strikingly unfeasible it is to differentiate precisely between good and evil.
