Guardians trailers tease Russia’s answer to The Avengers
Guardians looks like a live-action anime complete with walking, raging bear-wielding-a-minigun absurdity. There have been a handful of trailers released to preview the movie, so I figured it was time to put them together and share the wild Russian answer to The Avengers. Guardians appears to be a mix of Marvel, anime, and even a dash of Metal Gear Solid, which should tell you whether or not it’s up your alley. I’ve seen the movie called dumb just as often as I’ve seen it called amazing, so you be the judge. One thing’s for sure, Guardians is going to be one wild ride.
Never heard of the movie? It’s time to properly introduce yourself. Watch a few trailers, read a short plot synopsis, and check out a handful of posters for Guardians after the jump.
Here’s the first trailer that first gave us a good look at the madness that is Guardians:
Here’s a second trailer that continued to tease the insanity:
And here’s the “official final trailer” setting the movie in stone as a must-watch rollercoaster ride of ridiculousness:
The trailers should be enough to let you know whether or not Guardians is something you’d enjoy, but if not here’s a barebones official plot synopsis for the film:
During the Cold War, an organization called “Patriot” created a super-hero squad, which includes members of multiple soviet republics. For years, the heroes had to hide their identities, but in hard times they must show themselves again.
Guardians stars Sebastien Sisak, Sanzhar Madiyev, Anton Pampushnyy, Alina Lanina, Valeria Shkirando, Stanislav Shirin, and Vyacheslav Razbegaev. The movie was directed by Sarik Andreasyan, and it opens in Russia on February 23, 2017. As of now, there’s no official U.S. release date, but it’s rumored we’ll see it here in the States sometime this year as well.
