    Okay but hollow

    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.

    Not good

    I miss the other actors even though I like Ulrich Tomsen, but the other Morck was better in the role. Zaki Youssef doesn't slightly compare to Fares Fares in the role of Hafez, my favourite charachter of the books and the movies.

    If I had not read the book, I would not have understood anything, and again, they managed to lose me somewhere with an obscure and unspoken plot.

    This movie is very low quality compared to the previous ones.

    Boring

    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.

    Oh no...I want my money back..

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