09/18/2016 Pretty humorous with a lot of action. See more 02/07/2016 It's a Russian flying car superhero movie; need I say more? Fun cross between Spiderman and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang See more 01/03/2016 Take the Spiderman movie, replace New York with Moscow, the spider suit with a flying GAZ-21 Volga, the green goblin by some billionaire in a flying Mercedes, throw in a bit of Iron Man, Batman as well as Transformers.... and you pretty much get "Chernaya Molniya". Say what you want, but this movie is just a Russian cocktail, throwing together several of the recent American superhero movies. Only, "Chernaya Molniya" is actually better, but I can't really pin down exactly why. Is it the Russian music, the Russian humor or just the overall exotic nature of a big budget comic style movie taking place in the heart of Moscow, with Russian actors and spoken in Russian? I don't know or care, really. All I can say is that I enjoyed this movie, in spite of its very cliché plot, its very cliché action scenes and its strangely familiar Hollywood style atmosphere. For those who're in the mood for some light entertainment but are tired of the same old Hollywood crap, this film is something like a subtle breath of fresh air. It has all the familiar plot twists, all the clichés and the same atmosphere of a comic style Hollywood blockbuster movie, but it's served by a Russian cast and a Russian director... that in some way makes it not just bearable but even enjoyable to a guy like me who's tired of the same old Hollywood crap. But maybe that's just me. Hate it or like it... but this is a movie I'm sure you'll remember.

See more 11/27/2013 Quand les russes ne savent pas quoi faire ils font un mélange d'un peu de Transformers et de beaucoup de Spiderman ... bon ok ils plagient totalement Spiderman en enlevant l'araignée.. et ça donne Black Lightning / L'éclair noir.
