A Mad scientist has made superheroes before the government turned against him. He gives himself super powers and the heroes have to defeat him.
Most folks think this is horrible. They say it has bad CGI, bad acting and a derivative plot. I disagree because I think it is more genuine and less contrived and forced than American superhero films. It seemed like everyone involved in making it knew that it was a cheesy superhero film and decided to just go ahead and make it so. I can't discuss the dialogue very much because I watched it with Russian audio and poorly translated (but on time) English subtitles. Any hokey one-liners must have been lost in translation. I like it for what it over-did well. The bear with a machine gun is the first thing to note (image). The CGI and special effects looked a little "video game"y, but it almost seemed intentional. The plot was a very standard and traditional superheroes vs villain. While not creative, it was simple and stayed out of the way to showcase hyperbolic super powers and crappy CGI better. I'm rating this adequate because I think that American superhero films take themselves too seriously and could learn something from a more "fun" Russian version.
