The movie tells of a guy with a good heart but a man in tow innovations of life and tries to adapt to them. Just a tragic event causes him to think and appreciate life again and he becomes a figure who would identify herself exposed even though it helps a lot of people just like Dad did His only other way, with his vehicle.

The first Russian hero movie turned out to be a phony forgery. Plot lines, stolen from Spider-man and Iron man, make this movie stink even more. I heard about big budget but what I saw on the screen was just a lame try to impress audience with homemade, cheap visuals. I also think that this movie's made more money by advertising Iphone and mail.ru services, than by gathering box office. I don't even want to talk about actors' performance... I didn't see any

Despite its abject predictability and simplistic, generic superhero theme of altruism-versus-selfishness, I found a certain fascination in seeing what essentially boils down to Raimi's first Spider-Man film filtered through a post-Soviet Russian lens. Although it took forever to get there, I greatly enjoyed the final battle as well.

Of all the movies that wanted to be Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, this may be one of the ones that Got It the most. It has that sense of exaggerated reality, gleefully jumping into superhero tropes that shouldn't make sense when performed by a car but it's a delight to see them try. It's not as good as its model, with acting that averages out to Mostly Okay and a lack of that fundamental spark of batshit creativity, but it's still a surprisingly enjoyable superhero adventure.

The previews made this thing look epic. It is decidedly not epic. It is, in fact, as hokey and hambone a "superhero" movie as anything this side of "Super Fuzz" or "The Return of Captain Invincible." You really need to skip it, no matter how much you might think otherwise.

It's Russian Spider-Man with a flying car. Fucking.Yay. It's not awful, but there is nothing original here. You'll probably forget it as soon as it's over, mainly because it borrows so heavily from Spider-Man 1 that it'll just blend into your memories of that movie.

It's okay though nothing special, it's kind of like a Russian cross between Spider-Man and The Absent Minded Professor. Most of the movie is pretty slow but the acting is good overall. Seems almost like a made for TV movie or TV pilot a lot of the time, complete with too many slow-mo shots.

No better than--and similar in many ways to--those awful movies of the Spider-Man franchise. Except in Russian, and filmed in Moscow, so a bit more picturesque.
