Borderline indecipherable. Like I don't even know why the killer is so into snowmans. You should see this just so I don't feel alone.

Had to check out this film even with all of the negative reactions because Tomas Alfredson made two wonderful films before this. I have faith that this was just a speed bump for him.

Though you can't deny those scenic Norwegian landscapes. Now I want to visit Bergen.

you'd think that the main character's name being harry hole would be bad enough but then the actual plot happens.....

i'm legit amazed this got released in its current state.

0/10. These gritty reboots of children's classics suck. The Snowman doesn't even come to life in this one.

Though, in all seriousness, what can I say about The Snowman that director Tomas Alfredson hasn't already said. It's a mess. It doesn't make sense. Scenes are missing. There's a subplot involving JK Simmons that goes nowhere. It just seems unfinished.

Speaking of Simmons, the subplot involves him making a bid for whatever Norwegian city it is set in to host the "Winter World Cup". I couldn't take this seriously, as whenever he said it, I just kept thinking that they didn't get permission from the Olympic committee to use their name.

And I feel bad for Val Kilmer. I don't know…
