It is a shame because a a lot of bad movies could become better movies if edited differently. Some it's obvious from the script, but if it's a professionally run, there's little to no difference between a good film and a bad film on set. :(
Are you talking about the one with the kid who built one or the horrifying cartoon about that Snowman that turned evil when he was built and terrorized his creators?
oh lovely , scamming links, thanks freyer,wrenc and alany , i bet those are proxy channels nobody click those fucking things, it's bound to have ad viruses and password requests, if this was old youtube i would've deleted their comments as spam already, if iv'e wanted to watch a film without paying , i would have gone to Archive.Org watch something public domain, not those scumbags at Putlocker stealing profits from their creators. *i'm so butthurt right now*
So this being a Norwegian book, the guy's name in Norwegian is Harry Hole. The Norwegian name/word "Hole" is pronounced differently and does not mean... an orifice. And they just. They just kept his name in English. And nobody in the whole process went "hang on, this is gonna be mocked to bits, isn't it?" Granted, considering that the whole movie's been slaughtered by almost literally everyone who's seen it, I guess there wasn't much thought involved. Sad for a Norwegian to see a Norwegian book go this way. Go see "Trollhunter" instead. It's even more Norwegian and a ton more fun.
Have read the book, it's actually pretty good will have to see the movie to know what they changed which I guess is a lot. The name Harry Hole was lost in translation, it makes more sense in the native language the books are written in or so I've heard.
Yeah, over at Midnight's Edge the host Andre (who is Norwegian and had a walk-on in the movie) goes over the translation and how it's really more in line with "Hill" but because of the way it's spelled, they went with "Hole". He wasn't a big fan of this movie either since he saw it last week in Norway. But starting a movie based on the 7th book of a series and a director who opted to go "atmospheric" instead of building up the main character, well you get this mess.
I immediately thought the trailer was hilarious. And once those movie posters came out with the kids drawing of a snowman I could never take it serious after that
I'm working to become a director in the near future. After seeing this movie I'm definitely taking it as a prime example of how NOT to make or edit a film.
There was a "Hole" in the plot... I fell asleep and must've missed the good parts, I was then informed there wasn't any and did myself a favor by getting some rest instead of enduring the torture that is The Snowman.
Me and my wife went to see it on Thursday night and I agree with this review 100%. There were moments where the killer's 'motive' was all over the place confusing. Is he killing them because of "X"........oh, wait.....he's actually killing people because of "Y".............OH....NO, WAIT......who fkn knows. Even the snowmen themselves were inconsistent as hell.
Suicide Squad's editing was terrible. We know nothing about most of the characters. They have no charisma. The movie is all over the place. I'm sure it works in the comics, but it's messy in the movie. It does these flashbacks that are so out of place. In the end guys, This movie was a fucking wreck. The movie is full of awkward moments that don't need to be in there. And Suicide Squad is Definitely worth Buying on Blu-Ray. (You see what I did there 😬)

At the end of the day, I think despite the flaws, Jeremy enjoyed Suicide Squad's characters and the relationships between some of them. There wasn't any of that here.
That is so disappointing. I like Michael Fassbender and Rebecca Ferguson. It's sad to see them end up in a dog shit film. She has some chances to redeem herself in 2018 including the next Mission Impossible but all he has coming is Dark Phoenix. I hope he can turn it around.
I love that your thumbnails are themselves a review of the movie you're reviewing. It makes me laugh and give you a thumbs up before the video even begins.
Jeremy's cold opening is exactly how I feel about the books this movie is based on. And the rest of his review also perfectly captured what I feel about the books. I tried reading the first two Harry Hole novels, and I found them to be inexcusably boring. The worst part was Harry himself. There's just nothing special about him. He's a tortured, alcoholic cop who's willing to bend the rules to catch his killer. How is that not a character we've seen been done better a hundred times before? That being said though, I just finished The Son by the same author and I absolutely loved it. So I know the author can write good stuff, so my question is, do the Harry Hole novels get better? I really want to like them, I do, but the Bat and Cockroaches did not impress me.
Your concern for Val Kilmer was very sweet and kind, Val should be financially just fine he was left and subsequently sold a multi, multi million dollar chemical company, maybe they were doing him a solid because of his illness which would be decent and well earned, he has lost much of his voice due to the throat cancer and seems frail. Oh, and thanks for the honest and as always fun review!!
The novel the movie is based on and the series surrpounding the character Harry Hole, does amazingly well here in Norway, in which both the author and plot is based. Scandinavia in general read a lot of crime-fiction in bleak, snowy terrain as that is what we know and, for the most part, love. Also his last name Hole, isn't pronounced at all like an english speaker would say it. Closest thing I could type might be "Hol-eh" or something, but it sounds perfectly logical to any Scandi. The book series is also 11 books strong, where The Snowman is the 7TH! book in the series. Why they decided to dramatize a book where the character and his relationships are already well developed and understood by the reader is beyond me. There's a reason for his alcoholism, a reason why a seemingly has-been cop sits on FBI training and why he's antagonistic to most everyone around him. This movie should not have been made. Im not saying ever, just not now, and preferably, not with the US as a target audience. It should have had a norwegian director, with a mix of scandis as actors. The series is well-loved here, and we'll treat this movie like the world treats Twilight. A blemish on the skin of an otherwise decent series of novels.
Jeremy, no word of lie, I have an uncle, married into the family. His parents named him Harry. His last name ...is... Dick. All my life I could imagine what it must of been like for him in school. Some parents are horrific joke makers.
The concert scene in this movie made me laugh super loud in the theater. It was the funniest thing I had ever seen, and I had no idea where it came from.
The book series are great, one is set in Australia that was a lot of fun. “Daughter of God” or “Exposed” you choose the title is one I would nominate. And it pains me because I love Keanu Reeves. That was a mess, so much character development that went nowhere, none of the police work or the crime gel together. The delusions of the girl are understandable but it was just so hard to follow. I will watch it again some day I guess to make sure I didn’t miss anything!
Shirtlessclown I honestly don't know why people disliked it, if you don't compare it to the games then it is an interesting concept for a movie. People should stop comparing movies to their original work and just watch, it makes life more enjoyable, less bitching involved. Just my 2 cents.
Mister X If you don't compare a video game adaptation to the video game it is based off then it is interesting? That reasoning is why we have the fuck awful Resident Evil movies (Not the CGI ones, those are great), and shit as hell book adaptations like Eragon and The Dark Tower.
The problem here you seem to have is your expectations are from two different things. I don't care for video game to movie comparisons because people like you who do often complain about the movie not being anywhere near accurate and blah blah blah, which leaves you not enjoying the movie. Why should I care about what a movie is based on as long as it's entertaining, I don't care about the other half of what you do because i'd be in the same position as you, always complaining. Now if you don't or can't seem to comprehend your problems with these movies then it's you and not the movie which is the problem. People complain so much that they can't ever enjoy a movie for what it is, a movie. Get your popcorn and watch, its not rocket science, and if you can't do that then like I said - you are the problem.
If you're going to adapt something to another format, you should be faithful to the source material. Otherwise what's the point of adapting it in the first place? Assassin's Creed was technically faithful to the lore, even if they decided to fuck the Animus in favour of some weird machine that makes you mimic the actions you're reliving (Which must be tiring as fuck by the way) The writing was... Not the greatest. But what killed it for me was the jump cuts back to present day MID-FIGHT SCENE. Once I could understand, if only to show you how this new Animus worked, but they keep doing it. It wasn't an awful movie (It certainly wasn't a Resident Evil) but it was average at best. Which is a shame, because I love Fassbender. I just wish people would just respect their source material. I'm beginning to wonder if we'll ever have a truly amazing adaptation of a game, we've had a few movie to game ones that were excellent; Alien: Isolation and Shadow of Mordor. Rant over. Sorry.
Fun fact? Or just to put in contex: Im not gonna see the movie, but the Harry Hole (Norwegian) charracter is in 11 (ELEVEN) books including the one this movie is based on. So he has actually had a charracter arch building since 1997.
It probably doesn't help that this is an adaption of the sixth or seventh book in the series, to be fair. Shame, cause the book is FANTASTIC, but a lot of it deals with Hole's thought and mentality, so that might be difficult to translate to screen. Definitely recommend the book, though.
Michael Fassbender is a talented guy.
His agent is not.
No kidding! If you were an agent, would you have your guy playing a character named "Harry Hole?" LOL
Well if Harry Hole's the star of a critically acclaimed book series, then yes lol.
Exactly! Very sad.
Sad reality
Gabriel Gonzales only if he’s doing gay porn and even then I would actively tell him to pull out (yes I meant that the way I wrote it)
South Park: The Stick of Truth
South Park:The Fractured But Whole
South Park: The Harry Hole
You’re a goddamn genius.
👌🏻
New south park game for ps5
Seems like Fassbender keeps picking the wrong projects. A shame really, he's a good actor.
It is a shame because a a lot of bad movies could become better movies if edited differently. Some it's obvious from the script, but if it's a professionally run, there's little to no difference between a good film and a bad film on set. :(
5ilver42 The director said he couldn't even film 10% to 15% of the script, that's why the editing is so choppy.
I think his best role is David from the Prometheus story.
I think that he, Ellen Page and Halle Berry must have the same agent.
Movie probably looked good on paper.
I’m guessing there’s a “hole” in the plot?🙄
*insert Shia Labeouf clapping*
You can say it gets quite Harry
Scott Prazak A Hairy one to be exact
a "harry" "hole"
Scott Prazak pretty hairy
Wait, this isn't the short Christmas animation? Ooooh.
I want that review
Are you talking about the one with the kid who built one or the horrifying cartoon about that Snowman that turned evil when he was built and terrorized his creators?
Batman Jr. I'M WALKING IN THE AAAAIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRR
That film was the shit. When I was younger and had it on VHS, I would watch it in the middle of summer. Lmao
That shit was so sad.
"Shotty ass, messy ass, fucking wreck" Jeremy Jahns, TH-cam.

Why is he describing my social life

LEL, brah did drop his review at about the same time.
LMAOOOOOOO you & Stuckmann's faces in the thumbnails for your reviews
the top comments on both videos about that!!
*you’re*
*a butthole*
usually their reviews match :)
oh lovely , scamming links, thanks freyer,wrenc and alany , i bet those are proxy channels
nobody click those fucking things, it's bound to have ad viruses and password requests, if this was old youtube i would've deleted their comments as spam already, if iv'e wanted to watch a film without paying , i would have gone to Archive.Org watch something public domain, not those scumbags at Putlocker stealing profits from their creators.
*i'm so butthurt right now*
The beginning was the whole review 😂
Franco Yauri before the title?
Dont you mean the "hole" review?
Agreed.
I was in stiches
ZZZ 💤 😴
Harry Hole would be a perfect pornstar name! XD
Not a pornstar I'd like to watch.
If it's gay pron. Yes.
Candy Chan "harrys hole" starring harrys hairy hole 😂😂
Hope he gets his hole..weeks wages 😂😂
Can’t beat a good Harry Hole...
Why does such a fantastic actor like Michael Fassbender end up in bad movies nowadays? :(
Holtsar same with nicolas cage
Shit agent
I don't know why he accepted this role lol
mans gotta eat.
Forget Fassbender ,
J K Simmons won a fucking oscar !!!
That intro was a work of art Jeremy 😂❤️
When the hell are you gunna collab with chris stuckman?!
Geography is a bitch , though.
You can't cross the streams!
Sammy Hoffman He has on Collider, schmoesknow, and Screen Junkies.
So this being a Norwegian book, the guy's name in Norwegian is Harry Hole. The Norwegian name/word "Hole" is pronounced differently and does not mean... an orifice.

Go see "Trollhunter" instead. It's even more Norwegian and a ton more fun.
That sucks because the book was so good. Nesbo is an incredible author
His.... his name is Harry Hole?
The book is Norwegian..
JostePoP ahhhhh that explains it then!
no it doesn't, lol.
It's a common name in Norway and it's pronounced Ho-leh.
And it doesn't mean anything either in Norwegian. It's just a plain name. Maybe they should have switched it for the movie or something..
I dropped my phone laughing at the intro 😂😂😂
Have read the book, it's actually pretty good will have to see the movie to know what they changed which I guess is a lot. The name Harry Hole was lost in translation, it makes more sense in the native language the books are written in or so I've heard.
Ishaan Tiwari the books are in norwegian, as a norwegian, i can assure you it makes more sense in the original language
Yeah, over at Midnight's Edge the host Andre (who is Norwegian and had a walk-on in the movie) goes over the translation and how it's really more in line with "Hill" but because of the way it's spelled, they went with "Hole".

But starting a movie based on the 7th book of a series and a director who opted to go "atmospheric" instead of building up the main character, well you get this mess.
I bet the norwegian book is great. I have read parts from Jo Nesbø's books before and they are impressive as hell.
Whos Nilo they are pretty good. As a norwegian i can assure you that
That intro made me die 😂😂😂😂
Edit: The Dogshit moment with the shit actually being a snowman OMFG CRYINNGGG
Abbey Peters Indeed.
"THE SHITMAN"
Abbey Peters Suicide Squad had bad editing but he gave it a buy it on Blu-ray
John Smith who cares
fun fact: if you play Jeremy Jahns reviews on 2x speed, you won't even notice the difference, lol
DrMovies lmao I could actually still understand what he was staying at 2x
Oh my god, it's like he's had four energy drinks and is just doing like a psychotic ramble at 2X
Someone looks bored af in the thumbnail XD
ctl eurocollege true lmao
ctl eurocollege I dig his thumbnails...so few can give me a chuckle from the still image.
ctl eurocollege it wasn’t a surprise i felt this wanna gonna be like that one emily blunt movie that came last year
No duh.
The movie is based on a Norwegian book, so the name is not that stupid in norwegian.
I never understood the hype behind this movie when the trailer first came out.
I got pretty excited myself when I saw the trailer. Not because I read the book, but because I like crime dramas. But now I am going to read the book
I immediately thought the trailer was hilarious. And once those movie posters came out with the kids drawing of a snowman I could never take it serious after that
I'm working to become a director in the near future. After seeing this movie I'm definitely taking it as a prime example of how NOT to make or edit a film.

Jeremy please review Murder on the Orient Express when you get a chance.
I saw it and I'll give my thoughts after the NDA is lifted
That's a big surprise. The trailer made it appear to be an excellent movie. Alike Fincher's "The girl with the dragon tatoo"...
When Jeremy Jahns and Chris Stuckman upload on the same day, it's a good day.
Disheartening review.... I like Michael Fassbender, & I enjoyed the novel so I was hoping the movie would deliver. Guess I'll be skipping this
R8-TV you shouldnt skip a movie just because a movie critic doesnt like it. You could still like it even though he doesnt like it
You don’t know until you watch it
There were a lot of critics that didn't like it....
Michael Fang a lot of critics didnt like Assassin's Creed, but i didnt find it that bad. I found it really enjoyable and i think the games are ok
R8-TV There's a novel? Cool.
Me and my wife went to see it on Thursday night and I agree with this review 100%. There were moments where the killer's 'motive' was all over the place confusing.

Macro still cant believe jeremy liked suicide squad. What the fuck
suicide squad fucking sucked
I liked Suicide Squad don't get the hate.

Pretty sure Fassbender will be just fine...
well he is still in the x men franchise
I got an ad for this movie before the review started.
Best opening from Jeremy. He just slumps and then the intro plays.
the name is Norwegian, that's why it sounds stupid in english :)
Chris-Daniel Olavsen that’s not why lol
Jeremy are you gonna review the fractured but whole?
2:23 Hair Poof Adjustment Mode Activated
I thought this was like a supernatural horror of a demon with a snowman face or something
shit you upladed at the same exact second as chris stuckman
what's up with that?
livingthedream NDA
livingthedream they upload the second they are allowed to based on the non disclosure agreement they signed.
livingthedream they also have the same upset look in the thumbnail.
To be fair it's good to know when something sucks so you can spend your hard earn money on something better.
TH-cam has scheduled uploads, they both schedule the video to go public at the same time (when the embargo lifts)
Been watching your reviews for years and I've always had a good time. Funny and informative every time. Thanks! Stay awesome!
Just go see Blade Runner again instead
Niall Hassett Or go see Thor next week
It needs the money.
The theatre near me pulled it out (it only had one show a day).
OhSnap321 Or go see Blade Runner a third time
Kylo Ren Of course you don't like a far superior sci-fi than the one you were in.
I love that your thumbnails are themselves a review of the movie you're reviewing. It makes me laugh and give you a thumbs up before the video even begins.
That’s a shame. The trailer had actually looked good.
Damn, this is one of Jeremy's most rant-like reviews. I don't understand what happened, the trailers looked so good lol.
Man the trailer looked so good tho
Sami Shamroukh lmao what? It looked so stupid
Sami Shamroukh If you can call cliche and cheesy good.
It was actually pretty good
It honestly just looked okay.
Daniel Cuevas you can literally call everything cliche nowadays so it doesn’t hold any more power
It was that bad? I was expecting it to be like True Detective the movie especially since Fassbender is in this. The trailers looked good. Damn! :(
This was one of those movies where I could tell it was going to be bad the moment the first trailer came out.
Thrall Fan thank you. I thought it looked like a TV movie
Thrall Fan I think these days you can tell when a movie is going to be bad by the trailer.
Thrall Fan exactly
Geekteen 2187 The Last Knight trailer was actually recent. It ended up being more enjoyable than the movie itself
They should make the fame manhunt into a movie that would be fucking awesome!
Might as well call this movie The Snoozeman.
Gabriel Valhalla lol I chuckled
DA DUM TSSSSS
The movie is based on the 7th novel in a norwegian crime series, of course it doesnt translate. it's the SEVENTH novel in the series
That intro tho... Guess that sums up this review. *watches the whole video anyways*
the intro killed me 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Do you want to build The Snowman? It doesn't have to be The Snowman.
Hi Jeremy ! Just realized this January marks six years now that i've been watching your channel.unreal, time flys. Keep up the awesometacular work!
it's almost refreshing to see you tear into a movie like this. i know it's torture sometimes, but we should all watch terrible movies more often
How the hell did this production go so wrong? Capable director, legendary producer backing it, extremely talented cast... What the actual hell?
Upload the same time as chris stuckmann.
Jeremy's cold opening is exactly how I feel about the books this movie is based on. And the rest of his review also perfectly captured what I feel about the books.

Just gotta say, love the intro.
Your concern for Val Kilmer was very sweet and kind, Val should be financially just fine he was left and subsequently sold a multi, multi million dollar chemical company, maybe they were doing him a solid because of his illness which would be decent and well earned, he has lost much of his voice due to the throat cancer and seems frail. Oh, and thanks for the honest and as always fun review!!
"I hope Val Kilmer is ok" best part of the review.
hahaha ..the snooze in the beginning ! lol
The trailer looked AWFUL. Not surprised a bit here.
The novel the movie is based on and the series surrpounding the character Harry Hole, does amazingly well here in Norway, in which both the author and plot is based. Scandinavia in general read a lot of crime-fiction in bleak, snowy terrain as that is what we know and, for the most part, love.

The book series is also 11 books strong, where The Snowman is the 7TH! book in the series. Why they decided to dramatize a book where the character and his relationships are already well developed and understood by the reader is beyond me. There's a reason for his alcoholism, a reason why a seemingly has-been cop sits on FBI training and why he's antagonistic to most everyone around him.

Lol you and Stuckman puting this review out at the exact same time! WTF
n4m1k they do that all the time
There are some legal requirements as to when you are allowed to post movie reviews. That is why they often post their videos at the same time.
Damn that intro is fucking savage lmao
Wouldn't the killers DNA be all over the damn snowmen he creates?
He wears gloves. Like any moderately clever serial killer would do.
Dan Griffin Haha, also one would assume he wears gloves because ya know-SNOW IS COLD!
Jeremy, no word of lie, I have an uncle, married into the family. His parents named him Harry. His last name ...is... Dick. All my life I could imagine what it must of been like for him in school. Some parents are horrific joke makers.
BEST....THUMBNAIL....EVER
Man you are really saving me a lot of money with these spot on reviews
Completely agree, the editing was awful, voices and lips seemed off many times
I recently watched your Community review, you sir, have come a long way! Well done!
From Jeremy's expression at the beginning of this video, this movie should've been called "The Snoozeman".
Damn. I was actually kinda wanting to see this. Oh well, I guess I'll wait for Murder on the Orient Express.
Best first two seconds of all time.
How long would it take to make a snowman after killing someone?
1 second in: I know how this is gonna go
My Lord that opening scene lofl.😀😁😂😄😅😆
2 seconds in.....this isn't a good sign for this movie.
The concert scene in this movie made me laugh super loud in the theater. It was the funniest thing I had ever seen, and I had no idea where it came from.
Please review "The Scared Killing of a Deer" Jeremy. You're Great!
Unfortunately he barely ever reviews indies and mostly focuses on the more mainstream movies, unlike Chris Stuckmann.
*Killing of a Sacred Deer
The book series are great, one is set in Australia that was a lot of fun. “Daughter of God” or “Exposed” you choose the title is one I would nominate. And it pains me because I love Keanu Reeves. That was a mess, so much character development that went nowhere, none of the police work or the crime gel together. The delusions of the girl are understandable but it was just so hard to follow. I will watch it again some day I guess to make sure I didn’t miss anything!
I guess Assassins Creed just fucked Fassbender's whole year, huh?
Shirtlessclown I honestly don't know why people disliked it, if you don't compare it to the games then it is an interesting concept for a movie. People should stop comparing movies to their original work and just watch, it makes life more enjoyable, less bitching involved. Just my 2 cents.
I've never played a single Assassins Creed game and I hated the movie. It just, in my opinion, was horrible.
Mister X
If you don't compare a video game adaptation to the video game it is based off then it is interesting?
That reasoning is why we have the fuck awful Resident Evil movies (Not the CGI ones, those are great), and shit as hell book adaptations like Eragon and The Dark Tower.

Rant over. Sorry.
Started with book 7. Yeah, makes sense.
WERE IN THE NAME OF JACKIE CHAN IS THE LEGO NINJAGO MOVIE REVIEW HUH?
Still waiting ,_,
That intro 😂😂😂😂😂
Seen it. Hate it. Dogshit though? Hmm I'd probably give it a "won't remember it in t-minus 1 day". It was good looking but that's it.
This movie is based on the 7th book in the Harry Hole book series. Why I have no idea.
You’ve done that Intro before
For the fifth wave
Canaan B
Thank you, i tried to remember which one but my brain was just “nope”
Jeremy and Chris stuckmann uploaded the same review at the same exact time. Lol
I got a add for this movie lol
Fun fact? Or just to put in contex: Im not gonna see the movie, but the Harry Hole (Norwegian) charracter is in 11 (ELEVEN) books including the one this movie is based on. So he has actually had a charracter arch building since 1997.
Oh boy, I sure do wonder if J.K. Simmons is the killer....
EPM 101 he is not, this movie suck
His name was suppose to be Harry Hill. Hole in Nordic translates to hill
Sounds lilke a technical horribly directed movie here.
God damn, I don't remember JJ tearing up a film like this in a very long time
Michael F keep being in crappy movies...put him in a marvel movie...that'll do the trick
dreamerdragon Implying Marvel movies aren't crap recently, lmao.
Nikson They aren't. Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and Spider-Man Homecoming were both great movies.
Jarmo Verriet homecoming was okay
He's magneto...
dreamerdragon He was in X Men.
It probably doesn't help that this is an adaption of the sixth or seventh book in the series, to be fair. Shame, cause the book is FANTASTIC, but a lot of it deals with Hole's thought and mentality, so that might be difficult to translate to screen. Definitely recommend the book, though.
