To know more you have to watch this movie.
The film starts with a bang and the action scens are also great. I never read the comics so I won’t be able to compare it as well but if you are a movie lover like me, you can easily go for this one. The movie starts great and end the same way.
It gets a bit slow in the middle but rest everything is fine. And now I need to add Russian movies as well to my watchlist.
A few critics has scored the movie a bit low but don’t go for that. The film is action packed, the story is good, although nothing much new but still nice watch. Also we all love movies based on comics so just go for it.
Rating: 7/10
