The Snowman - ralphthemoviemaker 

Harry Hole will always be the funniest unironic character name in history

There's a Ralph quote from one of his older videos where he says something like "Michael Fassbender, a fantastic actor that picks his movies by dartboard" that lives rent free in my mind

YMS talking about Sausage Party, and now you talking about the Snowman. I’m kinda digging these random reviews

That “but hey, this is Norway” joke is actually hilarious

Ralph imitated the movie and stopped reviewing it, leaving 15% of the story out too. GENIUS!

Why do i feel like i already watched this video 4 years ago Btw nice to see these back

I will never understand how someone made that little snowman drawing and expected people to take it seriously, I first thought it was a shitpost when I saw it

Well snowman is the 7th book in Harry Hole series thats why there is so much characters because they were build up in other books. This movie is like some studio out of nowhere released Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows.

"Harry Hole" sounds like a Bond villain name.

At first, I thought J.K. Simmons' role was "Arvy Stove". So I thought he was going to be the killer because the stove makes snowman melt or something.

It's genuinely great to see classic Ralph back at it. I missed this. :(

Btw, to everyone who doesn’t know, it’s Harry “who-luh” in the book. That’s the proper pronunciation. Why they botched it I will never understand.

Okay, Harry Hole is already hilarious, but Gert Rafto just straight up sounds like a parody Star Wars name.

The Return of the King.

Feels like you're going back to your roots mate. Always great to see your dry wit after a long day.

Dan Olsen's video on this movie is a good watch too. Just a brief excerpt from that: "Hole" is a direct lift from the original Norwegian, where it's pronunciation is something between "oh-lay" and "oo-la". Rather than translating the word, which would be something like Harry Hill, they kept the spelling and anglicized the pronunciation.

While I wasn't directly involved in the production myself, I have several friends who were as a result of us attending film school together. Thus I know for a fact the production was a troublesome one, for the following reasons: 1) Producers and director didn't see eye to eye on what they wanted and some of the reshoots took place without the director present and/or without his knowledge even. I know for a fact reshoots were carried out with a skeleton crew 2) Principal photography on location in Norway was rushed with extremely long workweeks (+85 hours) across the span of three months. While I personally don't mind hectic productions like that, it's not common in Norway, there are union laws against it and it eventually lead to local crew becoming exhausted and not giving it their best (a friend who worked on the film told me flat out that he felt defeated and didn't care after the initial month of shooting, and that several felt that way) 3) Principal photography was also troubled in that they were having trouble with some of the equipment while on location (equipment shutting down and/or not arriving on time) 4) Editing process and its result was totally not what the director envisioned with parts of the story not filmed at all, as in, there was no time to shoot everything(!). I've never understood this as there were reshoots, but not to complete the story? 5) Producers carried out plot changes from the book (Rebecca Ferguson's fate being one of them), causing further friction between parties So there you have it. I think it's just one of those unlucky productions were everything that could go wrong did just that. As for the director, Tomas Alfredson is a great director and I would love to work with him, but failing to shoot parts of the story is on him. What I find more baffling is the fact that the movie is edited by Scorsese long time collaborator and legendary editor Thelma Schoonmaker. I love hearing that woman talk about editing, Scorsese or just life in general, but the editing is jarring at best. As for the actual story, Jo Nesbø's book is a bestseller and the movie could have been so much better. That's also what they were aiming for, a franchise of movies just like the books. The name Harry Hole is pronounced 'Holee' in Norwegian (without the American accent). I've heard worse.

Dude that drawing with the snowman on it gave me chills 🥶

this is what we want ralph. just keep doing this

The day immediately becomes better when Ralph posts a video.

that abruptly ended

Good ol' Ralph review. Glad to have some old format content back again.

Just 11 mins? All right, at least this is the kind of videos we want from you Ralph.

I thought this was gonna go into the whole movie. Would love a full breakdown!

Apparently the book it was based on was also many books into a series. It's essentially as if they started the Harry Potter movies on Goblet of Fire.

Glad to see Ralph give some love to Let The Right One In. Absolute masterpiece.

I love how random Ralph's choices are it's great 😅

Yay, a good old fashioned RTMM review. Thanks Ralph!

I never get over the fact that this was filmed in like 30 days

I was just talking to someone about this movie today. It's unintentionally hilarious throughout. I laughed so hard I cried multiple times. I should rewatch it.

i miss the old edits, thanks for teh throwback

Tomas Alfredson also directed Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. And it's also confusing, I don't always understand what's happening. But it's actually great and I enjoyed watching it, highly recommended.

Old skitty Ralph is back 🎉 No really , Im glad to see you have fun with this review. Cheers and keep em coming

I've never seen book of mormon used as a reaction clip before and now i have to see more lmao

Where’s the skits?

And as always, I must drop everything to watch a Ralph upload. Bless this day.

I remember watching this with my girlfriend in theater in late 2017. In January of 2018 we broke up, and I blame this film for it...

I love Michael Fassbender but his agent makes some……..very interesting choices when picking roles.

Nothing better than to get in notification from a new ralphthemoviemaker video!

JK Simmons being poorly utilised is an understatement, I've watched 4 reviews totalling 2hrs10mins or so, and I didn't even know he was in this film

whoa.... is this an old classic RTMM videop in current year? I miss this format.

I feel so proud. I’ve never been here so early.

What an incredibly timely video

Harry Hole is the greatest protagonist name of all time

Glad to see you upload Ralph we really needed it lol

very happy to see this style of video from you again, great watch. thank u :)

Babe, wake up, new Ralph video dropped

I hope fassbender fired his agent after this one

So apparently, the protagonist's name being "Harry Hole" was an unfortunate translation issue. The pronunciation in a Norwegian accent would sound different than "Hole" (sounding more like "Hool-low") and a more spiritual translation of the surname in English would be "Harry Hill." But the filmmakers opted for neither creative choice, so we got this unintentionally punny protagonist name.

I'm always so excited when you upload

At least there's a skit in this one thank you

holy shit I've been binging your videos all day, what a nice surprise

I could not believe they edited this movie the way they did, it is almost like the editor had a great sense humor

Weird how the video just suddenly ends without even mentioning the conclusion of the movie, like the quickly cut fight in darkness that I had to watch several times to understand what was going on.

one of the biggest issues with this film (apart from everything else) is the fact that this is like the 7th book in the series (which is great btw) and a lot of conflict and characters just don't make sense lmao they should've started with the 1st one and continued to build the story from there - it would've even made much more sense if it was like the 3rd or smth but 7th??

I'd love to see a 'warts and all' documentary on the making of this film as it really feels like everyone was trying there best to make the best film they could but the circumstances went against them. It would certainly be more entertaining than the finished product.

You still got it. I‘ve been waiting for this.

So good to hear your voice again

Strange timing. I just yesterday asked for one of his oldest videos on reddit and here he is. Im so reaaady

LOL. These are the derpiest snowmen I've seen! They're supposed to be eerie, but they're just too try-hard!

still can't believe val kilmer chose this over the kickstarter breaking bad sequel where he could have starred alongside slash

Completely forget I watched this back in the day. I remember nothing lol.

I feel like a mystery movie is the LAST kind of movie where you want scenes to be missing. It’s a genre where even the most minute details in a random scene can help you

Val Kilmer is phenomenal, loved him in the saint 1997

The book is actually very entertaining. Recommended.

Theaters and studios split box office revenue roughly 50/50 (oversimplifying), so this movie would have had to pull in $70M worldwide just to break even.

dood i missed these type of videos! :D

Classic ralph video formula is back!!! :D

Ralph returns, woohoo

Why the hell is this movie Number 1 trending on Netflix?

Hey ive had a pretty bad week so when i finally got around to checking my notifs this made it better

Don’t think I forgot you promised us a part two of Charlie’s angels you hack

Babe get up, Ralph uploaded again

At 8:10 you can actually see that they CGI'd in a talking mouth over a still image of her.

HE’S BACK. HE’S BACK BABY. I love you Ralph Sepe, but Ralph’s ON TOP!

Luv ur bideos, ralph. I watch them when I'm trying to watch movie reviews.

I remember seeing this movie having never seen the trailer, man what a ride

HOLYSHIT RALPH IS BACK

You know what else has bizzare editing and pacing decisions and could've been executed a lot better by a usually good creator? This video.

2 of my favorite youtubers have made snowman videos

Harry Hole lmao that never gets old

oh man i miss these rtmm reviews

the decision of whoever directed this shit of pronouncing harry hole's name in english rather than in it's original pronunciation (sounding more like "hoole") is just absolutely bewildering. why did they do that.

RALPH! Just sat down with my food and saw the notification! pumped

Eh

Harry hole, Paul Benis and Mike Hunt are just common names for Norwegian police officers

J K Simmons is clearly making a Max von Sydow impression with that voice. If you want to sound distinguished and Scandinavian, I guess it’s the way to go.

So apparently Harry Hole's name in Norwegian translates into Harry Hill in English, one reason they might have changed it is because in the UK there's a very prominent wacky comedian called Harry Hill. I guess for Americans the equivalent would be introducing your grumpy, alcoholic detective and calling him Carrot Top.

Most random movie to get a RTMM. Was expecting there to be one when it came out

Whoa, just unlocked the memory of seeing the trailer for this onxe or twice

Huh? This video just kinda ended before it was done.

New Ralph video?? Longer the better (No Jomo) please never stop

I just rewatched Folding Ideas video on this movie.

I"m still waiting for part 2 of the charlies angels review! Oh wait he might have been kidding about that.

omg new ralph video :)

Obviously never seen this one before but I’d bet a lot of money that somebody was on some kind of substances in post production

Great timing considering it's recent addition to the U.S. Netflix.

I remember working at a movie theater when this movie came out. Watching people leave the theater complaining and scratching their heads. I don't think I ever heard anything positive about it.

If we break down the syllables, "Ha-rry Ho-le", it sounds like "Ho, Ho, Ho". Merry Christmas.

welcome back, thought you had stopped making reviews
