Departamento Q: O Efeito Marco

Previous 4 movies are masterpieces. What happen to this movie. I was really disappointed. Remake this please. Worst movie of Department Q movie 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 !

I think it was a very bad idea to give the script to two writers who have only written comedies and dramas. It lacks the mystical tension that the previous four films had. It also didn't help the film that the director was also making his first thriller. He also brought in the drama clichés from his previous films.

Unfortunately, it is the writers' fault for neglecting the previously strong supporting characters and giving them very weak roles, leaving the characters of Assad and Rose completely out of focus. Moreover, the new actors tried to mould the characters on their own and did not really take anything from the last four films. It's as if each character is a different person, but they all go by the same name.

The focus of the investigation is also different and the final solution, like in a Holliwoody film, suddenly falls into your lap.

Unfortunately, this time it is a shambles.

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.

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.
