20 years later I still remember very well how we went with children to the first part of the Last hero in the movie, and it was an incredibly fascinating spectacle with interesting characters and magical adventures that did not let anyone get bored. Subsequently, two more excellent films from this series were released, and in the third part Ivan Muromets was even able to restart the story of Belogorye, thereby putting an end to this story. My children and I didn’t want to say goodbye to this amazing story. And, as it turns out, not just us. Fans of the Last hero turned out to be more than enough, and now the long-awaited Heritage, a series that continues the story of the fabulous Belogorye, has appeared on the screens.
So, after the events of the third film, Ivan Muromets decided to stay forever in Belogorye, which he once saved. He lives in peace and harmony with his wife Vasilisa, who gave birth to the hero of two wonderful daughters – Mary, who was removed in the military craft, and a modest, clever Sophia, who tries her hand at witchcraft and magic. Ivan himself rules Belogorye for a couple with the great wizard Belogor, who acts as his faithful and loyal adviser, and no one knows the troubles here. Neither Kolobok, nor Baba Yaga, nor Water, nor the ordinary inhabitants of this magical country, who have long been accustomed to the fact that everyone around lives here in peace and harmony.
However, long years of peace, peace and prosperity may come to an unexpected end due to the return from afar magician Severin, who had a very disturbing vision. In it he saw times of turmoil and disorder, with which neither Ivan nor his daughters can cope. Realizing the danger of the situation, Belogor together with Severin create an amazing weapon, the Crown of All Power, which will be able to protect Belogorye from all troubles. But everything will not be as simple as one might think, because after some time Severin will finally distrust the inhabitants of Belogorye and decide to take possession of this very weapon alone. And this Ivan and his daughters just can not allow, which means a new exciting adventure begins.
What I really like about this story is that it is very interesting and continues the story that we saw in the films with a soul, but the Heritage can also be seen by viewers unfamiliar with the past adventures of Ivan Muromets and other heroes of magical adventures. This time the focus is on the new generation, which represent Mary and Sophia and say that the girls came out incredibly interesting and colorful. In particular, I really liked Sophia here, who takes her not with brute force and intelligence. I’m most interested in following her adventures personally.
Sophia plays here Evelina Mazurina, and the image turned out very interesting. She, unlike her sister, does not learn to handle the sword, but tries to cope with magic - a love spell potion cooks, studies all sorts of spells. And although Sophia does not succeed as I would like, but she has at least enough determination, so that she definitely will not retreat from her own, no matter how angry her Magic Mirror is. It is she who has to travel to the past, or rather to a parallel world, in order to perform one very important mission, connected directly with her father. It will be interesting to see what discoveries she will make in the familiar reality and who she will meet here. I think that from the very beginning there was a strong intrigue here and there is a lot of interesting things waiting for us. There is no one else to expect from the last hero.
Very funny turned out here Marya, who is very strong, but I can not take her seriously yet. Especially when she is lost against the background of the knight Finist, with whom she secretly loves. It would seem that such a talented girl can do anything she wants and get whoever she wants, but against the background of such a handsome handsome man, she just gets lost! Arina Rozhkova is organic in this role and in general, she plays a very important role in the new story.
The latest hero: Legacy comes out as a definitely intriguing and truly magical series that perfectly complements and expands the beloved franchise. We watch this story together with the children, because for us it is already a family tradition, and everything turns out to be really interesting.
