Major Grom: le Docteur de Peste

Fun Movie, Russian with English dub. Kind of a cross between Jack Reacher and Batman. Hope they make another.

It's a nice surprise. A Russian film, but one that looks like a Hollywood blockbuster, and that's a compliment. The film has a good art direction and features action scenes that are not crude. A mixture of batman, the joker and V for Vendetta with a dash of stylistic comedy makes this Russian movie an entertaining watch.

If you didn't know, most russian movies have such a poor script that sometimes you think the whole industry is cursed. But not this movie. It's like the Iron Man for MCU - Mayor Grom is a solid start for a Bubble comics cinematic universe. Great shots, decent humor, plot twist and the villain for whom you have sympathy. Never got bored and I really want more. Also the cast and all the creatrs are very good passionate people, they deserve our support. Go see this movie in the cinema.

Over the span of two days I watched (on Netflix) a terrible movie called "Cosmic Sin" (I won't even bother to review it - what a waste of time) and Major Grom: Plague Doctor.

The latter is really a fun movie. I enjoyed it immensely and recommend it absolutely.

I watched it in Russian with English subtitles, which for me is how I prefer to watch foreign movies and TV shows. That being said, I admit that Russian is a challenging language to listen to for an American. My ear is more tuned to to French, Italian and Scandinavians. But still, this was fine.

It is beautifully filmed. It has a wonderful score. The music is great!

The actors are fabulous -- all of them.

The plot is good and has a twist that while formulaic was still fun.

There's a lot of humor in this movie, some disturbing violence, and fabulous action scenes. It never gets boring.

Overall, it is pretty over the top but for a comic book action movie, that's what you want, right?

It was a great way to spend two hours on a hot summer weekend.

I look forward to the sequel!

P. S. I keep wondering what it is they are eating! Are they sub sandwiches? Giant burritos?

I think both the 10 star reviews and the 1-2 ones are way off chart here. The movie is somewhere in the middle.

This is a typical action movie with lots of cliches that have proven to work over time. It is what people call a popcorn movie, just some fun entertainment. For what it is, it is enjoyable. And after watching the latest Hollywood movie in the same style (F9), I have to say, I enjoyed this one more.
