The Marco Effect

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.

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.

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

They completely ruined the franchise with this recasting. So sad, was the most promising Danish movie franchise we've seen I a long time.

This is what happens when authors start to take control of movie sets!!!

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 !
