Miss Fisher et le tombeau des larmes

I am a fan of the tv show and I am was very glad to find here Miss Fisher as she ever was, all stylish and cool. And she still has great chemistry con Jack. And this time they meet places. It was fun! But the story itself was lacking, specially because of the supernatural implications, which were not a part of the show. It reminded me a little of the old MacGyver show. They did a couple of made-for-tv movies that were about Merlin and Atlantis and things like that. Suddenly supernatural. Besides that, it was telegraphed who "done it". So, , did I enjoy this? Yes, quite. But they had a lot of time to do it, they could have make something better.

I love the Miss Fisher TV series. I binge watched it. I found it quirky, whimsical and refreshing. With the TV show, I find it a different kind of suspense as to "whodunnit"

Whilst the movie tried to incorporate all the above, and they were present, they didn't feel the same. It all felt forced.

Was it because the actors felt pressure to deliver a product for a larger, more global demographic? Was it because it was set in so many locations? The whole "global" storyline just feels like it's been done to death in previous movies, especially revolving around Middle Eastern lore & curses. it almost had an Indiana Jones feel to it.

To me, the whole movie felt a bit garbled and rushed. You couldn't really relate to, or immerse yourself, with what was being shown. I just found it didn't feel "true" to the Miss Fisher TV style, even though all the attributes were present.

I liked the movie, probably because of the nostalgia of loving the original characters from the TV show, but I definitely wouldn't be in a hurry to watch it again.

Love the series and a huge fan, all the glitz and glamour, fun and frivolity that we want and expect.

But the film fell short on two fronts. Where were the rest of the gang, missing for all of the film but about one minute. Such a shame. It was like bacon and egg without the bacon!!

And the story line was weird, hard to follow and elusive. After all it is an Aussie show. Lets fundamentally keep it that way.

Hope for more in the next film.

While great fun to see Phryne and Jack again, the movie lacked the sophistication and sparkle of the series. The action was comical, almost Miss Indiana Fisher at times. The film is gorgeous, with lush scenery and costumes, so it's not a total waste of time, but be warned.

As a huge fan of the original series, I had high hopes for the movie, especially since the production team specifically chose to crowd source in order to gain more creative control. Overall the film was entertaining, but as several reviews have already stated, it missed the mark. The plot would have worked better as a single episode, the story was stretched thin and added unnecessary complications in order to make it feature length. Additionally, the film lacked the character interactions that made the series so endearing. Having hardly any of the regular characters return, and having the few that did feature not interact with Phyrne, was the real downfall of the film. The scenes between Phryne and Jack were a saving grace, and the only aspect that was reminiscent of the original series.
