Rejsen til Saturn

I must say I was disappointed with this movie. My expectations were quite high. Trailers were hilarious, but all the trailers I've seen feature scenes that are'nt even part of the movie. Seems like an attempt to "lure" people to think the movie is better than it really is. (then they'll all buy movie-tickets)

The movie has it's moments, although if you're not a Dane (or at least a Scandinavian) many of the jokes and many of the characters attitude will seem strange and not funny at all.

I give this movie 5 stars. It's not good movie, but it's not terrible either.

Rejsen til Saturn by Claus Deleuran is one of the best Danish comics ever created - some will say the best. Deleuran had the idea for the story already as a child in the 1950's, and in the 1970's, he decided to realize the project. The result was a 60 page book, where every Picture on every page bristled with ideas and childlike fantasy. Everything made with a painstaking sense for detail. The humor was not rude as in the movie - it was more Tati than Will Ferrell. Later on Deleuran started an enormous project - The Illustrated history of Denmark - but unfortunate he died in the middle of making book 9. Its descriptions are so detailed, that he had only reached the Middle ages by then. And no one was or will be able to take over the Work after a genius like him. And now this. I don't know how or why the rights ended with these producers, maybe they have sweet-talked some of the people close to him or declared their willingness to do it with respect for his art. But this has (apart from the idea of a spaceship with Danes) nothing to do with the feel of the original Work. Instead you get a lot of tasteless jokes in the vein of mediocre stand-up. Disgraceful!

When I went to the theater to watch this title, I was very excited and my expectations were sky high. The trailers had been hilarious and the hype about the movie had been massive as well. When I left the theater I was disappointed.. Very. The only one who actually brings us some good laughs with his part is Arne Skrydsbøl (Frank Hvam) -the rest is of the cast is very disappointing, especially I would have expected Simon Jul to deliver a much more fun voice-cover than this.. Now don't misunderstand me, this is indeed a funny movie, but with the hype and trailers out for this movie, you will probably be expecting a legendary laugh like me. Lower your expectations and enjoy the decent laughs in this movie is my advice.

The multitalented genius Claus Deleuran had created one of my top favourite comics.

Absolutely one of the best Danish comics ever created - some will say the best.

So I had high hopes - especially after having been taunted by the trailers.

Half through the film, I started regretting having even started to watch it.

The executed crude 'humor' in the film - actually just executed this fantastic Idea.

I really wanted to abort the Saturn-film, but I regretfully watched it to the end.

Now I know - whenever Frank Hvam, Casper Christensen and Simon Jul are involved, it is going to turn out like a catastrophe - being: BORING - BORING - BORING.
