I watched it. It's a good movie.
I've just seen the movie. And if we could forget how the first movie ended this one is very, very good. I was ready to give it a 1/10 while I knew that Kotov was executed and Mitya has committed suicide. But after I watched it I can only say it's a mighty fine movie. So I'll give it a 10/10 just to mediate a bit the overall score. 4/10 is too little. In reality it should be something about 8/10.
Why Mihalkov decided to revive dead characters I don't know. If he didn't it would've been a very prominent movie.
