The Guardians

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 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.

It's always great to see some practical FX, some live action makeup instead of overly used CGI, but obviously the makeup artist responsible for the baddie has never studied human anatomy before, the guys abs went down past his groin, and his face and entire body looks as if it was made of silly putty , I've never seen foam rubber or silicone look like that, a new low point for the industry. The robot drones were not bad, but the Russians sure love their tanks don't they? Tanks everywhere, everyone loves tanks! I'm not sure if any warrior on the planet would find those round swords useful, but hey, it's superheroes, right? The Invisible girl looked unmistakably Russian, as if she was wearing all the makeup from Instagram all at once, so nothing surprising there, a shame, as she didn't need to,obviously lovely enough. One thing is for sure, they are a whole lot better than the Turkish superheroes, so Marvel need not worry just yet.

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.

Having come across the trailer 'Guardian' on the Internet, initially I was fooled into thinking it was one for the Galaxy sequel (the action scenes looked impressive), but to my surprise it was an apparent Russian blockbuster, but an even bigger surprise is the rating. Yes, the script is rushed, and the story is basic, heck some will argue it's a Russian 'Galaxy' but it's not as bad as the score suggests, it's a shame people have jumped on the bandwagon in helping the movie look worse than it is.

All major movie making countries are trying to make their own superhero films and they all have the same clichés and silly stories (including Hollywood) it just may be a little worse here. It deserves an average 5 just for some impressive action sequences though, on that front it's the best 5 million dollars you will ever see spent on an action film, it looks like a very impressive blockbuster and puts some Hollywood ones to shame in that respect, so hope people can view this as the popcorn film it's meant to be, and the unfair score improves.

Don't get me wrong there is a lot bad in terms of writing etc, but as an action movie it's watchable, maybe if only once so 3+ is an insult, 5-6 is a disappointing score for such a film but more realistic all the same, definitely better than The Asylum movies and even some of those currently they have a higher score and they have nothing going for them, at least the Guardians boasts some decent effects.

Don't go by the rating make your own choice.
