Black lightning vs Mercedes Benz :) Spoilers contained
26 January 2010
Warning: Spoilers
So I was waiting for this movie to appear for a long time. I saw the trailer and I had greater expectations. But apart from special effects and a touch of nostalgia for the Soviet times I think this movie is seriously flowed. Some spoilers here : The hero survived some transformations that did not seem very logical: Quick switch from being a normal person to someone obsessed with making money just to show off in front of a girl? A very fast transformation from someone who caused his fathers death with total luck of interest in people to being a super hero? Then some laws of the physics were crashed like stopping a van through hitting it from behind, being able to fly on a Mercedes in space without freezing, starting a Volga after it has been drowned, etc. Not to mention shameless advertising of apple cell phones who ring under water. At last I think I miss the feeling as a whole in the movie. They tried to tell a story and to touch some sensitive topics but they failed. On the whole its worth watching as it is fun but I think something is missing and the screenplay should have been rewritten with more attention to detail. Still my favorite is when the sign of Mercedes and Volga were opposed when flying to the stratosphere, its quite amusing :)
