Nice, moody thriller. (by mshavzin) |
Differs from the typical fare with a nice steady build up of suspense, gives satisfying clues, and in the end wraps up the mystery. If you are looking for Jigsaw, then this is not the film for you. I realize that some of the disappointed reviews were from folks who were hoping to be frightened. I personally have no love for shock value, and am never frightened by films. If i wanted to be scared, I would go watch Oprah or the Kardashians to be properly terrified at how absurdly stupid and inane the human race has become. Otherwise there isn't much a screen can do to terrify me. This <more> |
Worthy movie for every Movie lover Never to miss and lose. (by bsfrc) |
It is a class thriller and gripping till the end. It is one of the finest in the class of thriller movies in terms of screenplay, photography and last but not least the story telling mechanism is stylish. Mystery is held tight and never could be revealed.Worth for the money. I think the world of movie review must lay out certain key indicators to be fair and honest and give true review The only shock was the general review I saw about this movie but what I saw was pretty cool. Coolest scenic beauty of European cities and cold winter snow added to the mystery value including some lifestyle and <more> |
A noir masterpiece (by temrok9) |
Obviously we have seen different movies. Alfredson's The snowman is an excellent piece of modern cinema, built not on the conventions of a thriller, like Nesbo's book although of course it works as a thriller , but on the tensions between the unfolding images, the mesmerizing effect of a hypnotic pace that encloses us in a dark and cold vision, the glorious revelations of landscapes city landscapes, physical landscapes and human ones that reveal themselves at certain points filling our regard with a sense of beauty. As the film went on, I felt immersed in its charm, building to an <more> |
An interesting crime-thriller that is quite enjoyable despite all the hate it gets. (by peter41) |
As I read many reviews the two things people hate this movie for is: It's a crime-thriller and not a horror story like the book was. Because I haven't read the book I can't say on what level they differ, but the movie is still very interesting and exciting. And the other thing is the ending. I agree that it comes a bit fast and leaves you kinda hanging, BUT it fits the whole frosty northern scenery well and makes the story line a full circle.I really enjoyed it, can't really understand why it gets so much hate. |
It is not bad (by karlo556) |
Seen a lot of negativity in the reviews. Here's an explanation. 1. It is a 5th book from the Jo Nesbø, Harry Hole series.All the cool and fairly ,let's say important, characters you meet in The Redbreast and so on. Those characters in the police force are in all of the book series. You only meet Katrine Bratt, which is a new character in the book also. There is no explanation on Rakel or her son in the movie because it is explained in the previous books.Blame the directors of whoever thought it would pass as a good movie when people who haven't read the book don't know who is <more> |
Good Movie, Whiney Reviewers (by rachelf-60138) |
I have not read anything by Jo Nesbo, including The Snowman. I watched the movie without any prior knowledge of the plot other than the fact that it had something to do with murder.And I enjoyed it. I thought it was good. After reading the poor reviews, I decided these people must not have paid full attention to the movie. I figured out who each of the important characters were in time without the "explanations" some reviewers apparently needed. I didn't have trouble with scene transitions or fake accents or the directing/editing.It was a very good movie, and I'm glad I <more> |
Funny (by MooWoolf1) |
Kinda tired of people giving low score for a movie because they don't understand or they don't like these kinda movies yet they watch it or they compare it to a book. First of all a book is a book. A movie is a movie. Don't watch these type of movies if you don't like them. If you don't understand it or the connections or whatever it is that you don't understand, then it is a problem in your head. Not in the movie.Anyway. Usual crime story. OUTSTANDING CINEMATOGRAPHY AND SCORES! In the end that WIDE SHOT on the lake was INCREDIBLE! |
Visually stunning & constant tension (by andrbdeea) |
The movie has a rapid pace from the first 2 minutes. You start to have ideas of who can be the snowman and with each scene you will change your mind. Loved the fact that it's not that easy to understand the action with back and forth pieces of the puzzle.Not many will understand it! But those who will will appreciate how stunning the scenes where created. |
Hand-Crafted Scandinavian Noire (by dkg1957) |
other reviews critique based on Hollywood tropes and complain because they are missing. Instead the film strives, successfully, to evoke the atmosphere of Scandinavian Noire, while employing the story telling techniques of Knut Hamsun - no character development, no exposition, and entering the story mid-crisis. I wish it had been recorded in Norwegian so we could appreciate the conflict between Bergen and Oslo, so integral to the books. it's a mood film, not simply a whodunit. bringing in familiar USA actors was a clever red herring, but probably won't be appreciated, and instead some <more> |
