Universal Pictures
- "The Snowman," starring Michael Fassbender, comes out this weekend.
- Critics hate it, but they're having a blast reviewing it.
- The director blames the film's quality on time constraints during filming.
- A lot of the film's reviews have snowman puns.
"The Snowman" comes out this weekend, and critics already hate it.
The film is based on Jo Nesbø's best-selling novel of the same name, originally published in 2007.
It stars newly married Michael Fassbender as Harry Hole, a detective investigating serial killings in Norway that involve, you guessed it: a snowman! Tomas Alfredson ("Let the Right One In," "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy") directed the film, which also stars Rebecca Ferguson and Charlotte Gainsbourg.
The reviews are in, and they're bad. The movie has a 26% rating on reviews aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
But given the fun material they had to play with, including the strange marketing campaign, critics didn't hesitate to take advantage of snowman puns to express their hatred of the movie. Alfredson is now blaming the film's quality on the fact that due to time constraints, they didn't get to shoot 10-15% of the script.
