I didn't like it categorically. First of all, there are many high-quality comic book movies, but not in this case: here the comic book remained a comic book, albeit in video format. Second, it’s not clear why, if you’re shooting St. Petersburg, make a film so that America sees through every detail, from dialogue to interiors to police uniforms. Seriously, even despite the fact that the famous St. Petersburg sights regularly flash in the frame, one does not leave the feeling that the matter is happening in some Boston. Thirdly, the deliberate playfulness of the plot in general and almost every scene in particular. This would be understandable if a parody in the style of “Very superhero movie”, but this film is not stated. And finally, the viewing leaves a kind of rotten aftertaste. It seems that the authors of the movie, as it were, promote the idea of the inadmissibility of lynching, but at the same time the film whispers that the whole system is rotten and everything needs to be changed, that is, the very idea that guided the schizoid in the mask of a plague doctor is being promoted. The only thing I don’t know about is the actors. If you do not pay attention to the absolutely American pathos, played well. Summing up: any series from the series "Streets of Broken Lanterns", in my opinion, surpasses this opus both in the quality of the plot and in the quality of the performance. There are fewer special effects, but who are you going to surprise?
