Мир фантастики
The reception of "Guardians" was overwhelmingly negative. The film was almost universally panned in Russian media, such as Meduza, Afisha Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Mir Fantastiki, among others. It was mainly criticized for having a derivative plot, bad acting and direction, cheap CGI, plot holes and overall low quality, as well as comparisons of the film to "Fantastic Four", another film that was critically panned. Critics outside Russia were only slightly kinder to "Guardians"; however, the reviews in "Times of India", Birth Movies Death and Mid-Day.com were negative. In November 2017, RIA Novosti placed "Guardians" at the top of their list of the worst films of all time.
