    It's really that bad

    I don't know why people are trying to say this movie is good, because it is not. First the good parts, the cinematic, music and special effects are pretty decent. And the bad, how can I put this, the movie has no pace, the way they start the team it's laughable, "wanna join? sure". The stiff face major blonde whatever struggles to show emotions and empathy, but it just makes you laugh at her failing to do so, and the list goes on and on, the acting is really terrible.

    OK, we get it, small budget, but that doesn't mean the story,editing and acting has to be so low.

    It's an OK movie , nice to watch but....

    The plot is the normal on this movies, a secret project to turn man on super soldiers is shut down and the mentor of this project finds himself with superpowers and wants to rule the world.

    This movie has good ingredients to be a good movie, superheroes, fight scenes, nice girls , action, i only gave it 6 stars because sometimes to me it seems like the acting was not at the best, it didn't look natural, look mechanized , if the dialogues where more fluid then the movie would be better.

    So , the Russian avengers is a good movie to see and hope it will get better on the sequel.

    I wanted to like it

    It's not very good.

    I wanted it to be good, I would have settled for quite good, but no.

    CGI = awful (circa 1900's SyFy channel, and I'm being generous).

    Story = Hm, maybe taken from a computer game released in a country ending in 'stan' and not very popular there either

    Watch at your peril.

    One good thing about the film is, no, sorry, I got nothing.

    Came for the Bear Man, Stayed for the Movie

    I am not an action movie superhero person. I loathe Marvel. Tubi suggested this, and I had nothing better to do with my time. I was promised a bear man with a big gun, and it delivered on that and more.

    It gives you exactly what you want if you just want to watch a fun movie. The plot was good enough to keep me interested the whole movie. Which is notable, because I am notorious for getting bored 3/4 through most action films.

    Almost everyone in this movie, save for the villain is attractive. The fights are well choreographed. The cgi is competent. It's well shot, and in my opinion, well-acted. I was invested in the characters the whole time. The weapons and fighting styles are cool.

    If you have some weird parasocial attachment to the marvel franchise and go in wanting marvel, then you'll be disappointed. If not for the numerous comparisons made in other reviews, I wouldn't even compare the 2. Other than the fact these are superhero action films, they're really not at all the same and I don't think there was an intention to imitate Marvel so much as just make a superhero movie.

    The great Russian fault

    As a Russian I'm really offended by this film. Firstly it doesn't have any originality. Russia is showed here very bad. Only one joke about "borsh" and bear-guy is not Rissia. Also characters don't have any background and motivation. Main enemy too. And if a can forgive this things, bad work of sound-operator and terrible assamblaje are absolutely unforgivable. As a result, horrible script, horribe actor's playing, pointles dialogs. It's even not a parody.. It's even not a superhero movie.. Only one good thing is a song in the beginning.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The movie has some parallels with various Marvel characters. Arsus being a scientist, changing into a large powerhouse, (whos pants somehow dont rip unless in full bear mode) is like Hulk. Kahn moves at the speeds of Quicksilver. When Ler covered his body in rocks he resembled The Thing. And Kseniya has a power set close to the Invisible Woman. Patriot is similar to S.H.I.E.L.D.
    • Goofs
      Both times when Arsus morphs into a full bear, ripping his pants, he reappears in human form having a full set of pants and boots.
    • Quotes

      Khan: In this world, even good has to clench its fists.

    • Crazy credits
      In mid-credits scene, Yelena is transported in a back of a truck by two soldiers. When they open the door, she attacks them, killing one and subduing the other, who, when asked who sent them, says: "Ferrum".
    • Alternate versions
      When the film was originally released in Germany, the dubbing was highly criticized for adding lowbrow humor. To rectify this, distributor Capelight ordered a new dubbing (which reflected the original tone of the movie) and the film was re-released (with both dubbings) on Blu-ray/DVD.
