Major Grom: Plague Doctor

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.

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.

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.

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.
