* CompleteMonster: [[MadScientist Dr. August Kuratov]] is a [[EvilGenius mad genius]] determined to [[TakeOverTheWorld rule the world]] and prove his intellect. Having kidnapped and [[PlayingWithSyringes experimented on innocents]] years ago to counter his rivals' more ethical projects, Kuratov empowered himself with [[{{Technopath}} the ability to control technology]] and began to massacre military forces and steal their weaponry for his own. After fatally wounding his former rival, Kuratov stages an invasion of Moscow that decimates the city and its population, planning to spread his technology control worldwide and take over the planet in destructive conquest.

** Kuratov ultimately doesn't look all that intimidating, looking more like a giant muscular baby with an underwhelming powerset.
** Most of the dialogue is ultra-cheesy and doesn't fit the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse tone the movie is trying to ape off of. It doesn't help that it's delivered with complete sincerity.
** Whenever any of the Guardians decide to monologue about their past and their concerns about their powers, which ultimately doesn't matter since it doesn't really contribute to any CharacterDevelopment. Ursus talking about his fear of staying in "Full Bear Mode" is the best example.
* PopularWithFurries: Ursus in bear form turned a lot of {{Bara}} fans' eyes towards what would have otherwise been an unremarkable movie.
* SoBadItsGood: Take in stride how hard the movie tries to invoke the RuleOfCool and fails to do so, and you'll enjoy it a lot more.
* SpecialEffectFailure: Almost everything involving Ursus's bear form, especially with the minigun he wields near the end.
* SpiritualAdaptation: The movie itself may seem to be a ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' ripoff but this the closest you could get to a Marvel adaptation of the Russian superhero group The Soviet Super-Soldiers.
