Has anybody seen the movie? I've read a couple reviews. They praised it. But I got my doubts anyway.
Where can one obtain a copy, and is it subtitled? Thanks for your help.
DVD release date is 30th May. So no particular information until then available.
One Russian journalist called this movie "a piece of **** that has to be loathed with all intensity". Mostly because it has very little to do with reality of Kharlamov's life of the USSR at that time.

I'd say it's mildly pompous. Just as much as a movie like this needs to be. It's redundant and gimmicky at times (the lazy bromance line concerned me the most), but the general audience seems to dig that. And it can't be bad in any way. It made more publicity for CSKA in particular than the club itself has done in its entire post-soviet history.The problem isn't even it's not being accurate, the problem are bad actors choices, stupid plot branches and unneeded all-around pompousness.
It also has quite a lot cursing and naked body for a 6+ movie - not a fan.

I's hilarious how Utkin ranks "Miracle" way above Legenda 17:

And he nails it admitting that he has not seen Legenda 17

Well, anybody with a grain of sanity of mind left ranks Utkin somewhere below a shizophrenic idiot and the wannabe Mussolini.
Ahh, no...
i personally can't stand our films (mostly), the last film i saw is ostrov (lungin) and the best film in the last decade is zhmurki.
I liked it (gasp). Was it historically accurate to the point? Probably not... Yet, as the director admitted himself, they were not filming a documentary. Russian cinematography lacks good sports movies, so having Legenda #17 available is step in a right direction.
I did not mind the actors’ play either, it’s not like it was horrendous. I’d watch it again. And Imho, if you take away all the historical inaccuracies, the movie is not worse than “Miracle†from the entertaining perspective.
