L'effetto farfalla

I was expecting way too much from this movie and it didn't live up to any of my expectations.

The new cast is boring, dull and flat... We never get a real connection and the plotline could've been explained and solved in about half an hour.

What a disappointment.

It is sad to see how such amazing movies could be distroyed and lost forever. I'm so sad.

One thing is that all the actors has been changed, but they still carry the same names. That will make anyone compare... Another thing is that the other stories in the series are quite gruesome.

This story falls flat, and there is not anything gruesome to be told!

It feels like water, where the other movies in the series feels like whiskey.

It should have been a movie on its own. This will never be a part of the other movies in the series.

If you've read the book and know the characters - this film you just spend two hours seeing has no comparison. I know that every one says that when they compare the book and the movie.

The plot is thin, the characters are one sided and with no depth, the boy who's playing Marco is filmed from either the left side or right side - and makes you think, : How can this boy be so important, when he's never in a full frame ?

And full frames we see a lot of with Carl Morch, the main character. Way to many of him talking to him self. When you have such a good actor like Ulrik Thomsen you don't need to say what you think, his mimic tells it all.

I don't mind it being so dark, it's Nordic Noir, but it's just a very bad movie with so many details not being correct or things not put into the right perspective.

It's bad - it's so so bad ... sadly !

Saw the first films with Nikolaj-Lie Kaas as inspector Mørck and Fares Fares as Assad.

It could work with Mørck (Played by Ulrich Thomsen) being rude, having no empathy and hellbound on solving the case no matter whos toes he treads upon. But when the rest of the crew around him acts more or less in the same fashion it simply gets boring and uninteresting. Where Assad were much more involved, and a individual character in the first films, he is reduced to a weak voice in the background and a boring sidekick.

Rosa is also tuned dowfrom a strong and independent woman in the first films, to an uninteresting and forgettable supporting role.

The plot is obvius and you have to struggle not to doze off while you see it.

If you have not seen the first films, go check them out and give this one a wide berth.
