The last years we could see that Russian cinema produced some really great movies - Night Watch is a great example of that. But this one killed my future times intentions to see another movie made in Russia. This movie awfully reminds me Conan the Barbarian - from the beginning, Lord of the rings with the Main Evil Hero - the guy with Sauron's mask (the skull)and of course the classic scene in the forest : the Wolfhound /Arnold Schwarzenegger/ is training his martial art until the beauty comes beside him and begs to be trained and to became a skilled warrior (Brigite Nielsen, aka Red Sonia and so many scenes in different Movies) SO Cliché !!!! Every movie got a long scene - this one has it too. But it was so funny and idiotic, so at a time i decided that Im seeing a Bulgarian movie - Bulgarian cinema is really SUCKS - Im a Bulgarian and I know that. That was the scene when with pictures and screaming somehow we have to understand how the main hero became Wolfhound and how he actually became a main personage in many folklore songs... Sooooo boring long scene. Well Im agree with the guy who said that the movie has a good part inside and that is the BAT :-) I cannot say that the actors are talented or not - the main heroine is pretty and sexy. Wolfhound looks like Brad Pitt from time to time and other faces are typically Russian and not suitable for that kind of movie. Im 30 yo and I've seen so many Russian movies before so when i saw so many fat faces suitable for chief of a communist party or milk-woman in cow factory from 1970 - 90 - I think Im about to puke (the scene with the drowning of a woman in the river)- so annoying and stupid. I saw some good CGI effects , some nice cadres - the one with falling arrows.I find the battle scenes well done - the movements are not typical for the other action movies - they are real and good. Blood is fake and not well done - orange blood ?! - I don't think so. Anyway - I give 2 out of 10 - because of these positive things and the BAT ! :-)
