I can't believe that i'm saying this, but this movie is crazy good! I was kinda hater of the first film, but this one is a real blast: stylish, dynamic, with good direction and badass action scenes, with crazy graphics and animated parts, maaan... Not to mention that the actors( and their usage) acting way better than in MG:PD. General impression: totall, uncompromising upgrade of each and everything( writing, dialogues, liveliness, characters and etc.) Closer to the end i was thinking: " Is this a DmC movie? That's a sick vibe, dude ! " It was really cool to spend the end of the first january watching it, I'm sure this would do nicely in theatres. P. S. Seems like i'm the first to rate and write review, oh yeah, finally))

How long have I been waiting for the sequel to this movie. It's just a delight! The film succeeded in its main goal, to tell us about the childhood of the Thunder and we should not forget about it. Well inscribed in the movie universe, especially the scene after the credits complements the last film. I liked everything, from the good casting (one on one like in comics), to the perfect scenery and a beautiful city called St. Petersburg. A very enjoyable film. Of course, not without drawbacks, one of which, in my opinion, is a small timing, which is why not all characters were able to be revealed well. Well, in general, you can watch. I recommend everyone to watch!

This was a blast - I loved the first movie, but this one exceeded all my expectations. Great action sequences (that prove good action can happen without the usual Willie coyote physics action movies rely on), great humour, animated parts that only made the moments better and just the right amount of heartfelt scenes. They even managed to connect the two movies seamlessly! The actors were chosen perfectly - I am usually sceptical about child actors but Kay Aleks Getts and Vladimir Yaganov played the young versions of Igor and Ignat so well. On top of that Sergey Marin is exactly how you'd imagine Grom senior. And let's not forget to mention the soundtrack! Obviously a lot of work and attention to detail was put in the making of this movie. I wholeheartedly recommend it! Absolutely badass!!!!!
As a lover of politics and history, I really didn't want to touch it - the trailer showed the pop-cultural side of that decade (90s), forgetting about all the problems of the country, but having looked... But, under the jurisdiction of Yandex, without government officials, Russian cinema shows pleasant pictures. Although the story is based on a comic book, other Russian distributors would be afraid to show some footage.
The film shocked me, mostly because of the designer gadgets there, all that. The style of the posters is perfectly conveyed in the film, for example, when a character is considering a decision. The camerawork turned out to be more than a bang, and in scenes where the director wants to show drive (not with Gosling) and adrenaline (not Rush) - he does it perfectly. And all this is combined with a great playlist in the background. And only in the second place does the plot catch on. Yes, it is not as large-scale as we would like (after all, the film is 84 min), but it is enough. And the finale makes you cry, mentally.

This was mind-blowing and epic in every way! The only thing I miss is the ability to find english subtitle for it. Hungarian Netfix had hun dub and hun sub for the Plague Doctor so I could watch that one on the original RU voice with HUN sub, but now there is nothing. I spent a hour to find the movie at all, wich is sad, becusa it's really good. The plot was exciting and tied me down for sure regardless that I don't speak russian. I was happy (and sad) to see where Igor came from, how was he in his youth and how he became the one he was in his adulthood. It truly soul tearing, but his movie was perfect.
