    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.

    Not good...

    The film has the look and feel of a video game. It moves too quickly at times, as if being advanced to the next level of a game. It sometimes feel they neglect showing crucial events. It was pretty much the Russian version of 'Fantastic Four'. This ambitious project has some really excellent effects and great moments, but overall it was just not compelling enough.

    Below expectations

    There was some potential in this tale of four superheroes created by the Russian government during the Cold War; that have to stay hidden until needed; but the movie sadly has very very lazy writing and even poorer editing. The FX are acceptable (the last Avengers was not much better and cost 50 times more); but the characters are pure stock. Forced; unsympathetic and underwritten. Action scenes are not spectacular as they were supposed to be; and villain motivations (or goals) are not that clear.

    In brief; perhaps next time with better production and writing they will make a better movie; but just one is just a curiosity.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.
