kenneth z 04/19/2023 Trying to watch it again after I fell asleep watching it in the theater. I can’t give an honest review because I’ve fallen asleep twice trying to watch it at home. Who needs sleeping pills and I’m never going to Oslo. See more Blake- N @PBSAniDom Apr 27 The Snowman (2017) is a disappointing and confusing attempt at adapting material that had far more charm and simplicity in earlier versions, especially compared to the 1982 The Snowman. Instead of building atmosphere or meaningful tension, it feels disjointed and rushed, with a story that struggles to hold together from start to finish. What made the earlier version memorable was its emotional weight and effective use of mood, while this adaptation loses that entirely in favor of a cold, uneven crime thriller that never fully lands. Even with a strong cast, the material doesn’t give them much to work with. The pacing feels off, key moments lack impact, and the overall execution comes across as undercooked and forgettable. Overall, The Snowman is a major misfire and a frustrating watch, especially when compared to what came before. A clear 0/10.

It is absolutely pants, rubbish, balderdash, nonsense and a waste of everyone involved and everyone who views it's time. See more Brian B @RT53690520 Jan 1 It drags most of the movie. Starts to get good about the last twenty minutes. See more Bev H @BevHendry17 Dec 30 Not surprised by the blizzard of bad reviews on here. This was shockingly bad . Literally from the opening sequence the movie failed to follow the plot of the book. The only similarity was the names of the main characters. There was no explanation of why the serial killer built a snowman at the scene of each murder. What a waste of a tremendous cast who at the end must have wondered why they signed on to this total shitshow. See more Sinéad W @Sine_86 Dec 14 So bad I thought it was a comedy or satire. Came to the internet and rotten tomatoes to figure out whether it was or not…. Seems that it’s actually a serious film and they intentionally made a film as bad as this See more Read all reviews
