Major Grom: Plague Doctor

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 really liked this movie! Nice plot, funny, action packed, good acting, unexpected twist. And be sure to watch past the end credits. ;) I can't wait for a sequel!

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.

The plot was good . Actor did their roles nicely. There were some nice plot twists and good action scenes too. A decent time killer . Go for it.

OK it helps tremendously that the casting is ideal, but after a surfeit of Marvel and Disney movies, I have to say I enjoyed every minute of this movie. Good on Russia and I do hope Netflix picks up more of the same. Interesting characters, new faces (of course!) great settings and not a bad plot. And Igor Gromov is so very easy on the eyes and a lot more fun to watch than a plastic, sour plum Batman. Never seen so many great cheekbones in one movie.
