Harry Hole will always be the funniest unironic character name in history
Fr 😂what were they thinking
@@P-P-Panda According to the books, it's supposed to be pronouced HOO-leh or Holy, but I guess that bit of information was lost on the film makers.
It's cos in the original Norwegian book it's pronounced "Hoo-leh" in their country, but for some reason these filmmakers didn't think to change the spelling so it didn't sound hilarious to us.
@@DebbieDickens that just makes it funnier 😂
In Norwegian it translates as "Harry HILL" but the filmmakers couldn't be bothered to change it
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
Well try charging rent then. EVER THINK OF THAT? Kids these days know not the most basic principles of landlordism. Makes me glad to be an old stinky fart for once!
iirc I believe that was the aliens: covenant video
@@jakey_ac "ill do the fingering"
That “but hey, this is Norway” joke is actually hilarious
Norway placed 7th in this year's World Happiness Report - could be 1st easily, but they just keep kicking homeless people in the street.
@@el_fucko hey! hobokicking is a revered sport here!!
I can confirm that in Norway kicking homeless people is a national sport
@@el_fucko Some psychologist Have argued that it’s in fact their societies acceptance of this taboo to kick homeless people that is increased the nations happiness
@@Wetkneesda roach dogg
YMS talking about Sausage Party, and now you talking about the Snowman. I’m kinda digging these random reviews
I agree
Now we need Alex/IHE to do a random, out of nowhere movie review at some point. What should he talk about?
Now all we need is Alex reviewing Mars bars
Who's yms
@@ChildishGambeaner Yourmoviesucks, he’s another KZheadr Ralph does a podcast with
Ralph imitated the movie and stopped reviewing it, leaving 15% of the story out too. GENIUS!
I was gonna say…can’t tell if that was the joke or he just stopped caring about reviewing this turd
It took me longer than it should have to get the joke. “Why’s he stopping here? He didn’t even finish the stOOOOOHHHHHHH.”
His reviews always feel like that now.
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.
There isn't anything particularly wrong with that. I really enjoyed 'Jack Reacher' in 2012 and that's not based on the first novel but they made it accessible to new fans.
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.
lol even worse, in the books he explicitly corrects every english speaking person who mispronounces it that way. Like, they obviously knew what they were doing (if they read the book...) and decided to mispronounce it anyway, I just don't understand why
Why do i feel like i already watched this video 4 years ago Btw nice to see these back
Did you watch Folding Ideas review of it?
It’s like there’s a glitch in The Matrix right now lolol.
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.
Okay, Harry Hole is already hilarious, but Gert Rafto just straight up sounds like a parody Star Wars name.
JK Simmons was great as Army Stove
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.
The Return of the King.
the return of the closeted homosexual
It's genuinely great to see classic Ralph back at it. I missed this. :(
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.
I heard the hole production was pretty harry.
Thanks for the information. I'd love to see a documentary on the production as it sounds like a trainwreck.
"Harry Hole" sounds like a Bond villain name.
Feels like you're going back to your roots mate. Always great to see your dry wit after a long day.
Where’s the skits though?
@@crunkmagunk9476 subjective
I hope he does reviews for God’s Not Dead 3&4 as well as the upcoming 5th movie (yes, there will be five of these shitty movies).
Yes, PLEASE!
@@crunkmagunk9476 for real
this is what we want ralph. just keep doing this
he hates his fans
Dude that drawing with the snowman on it gave me chills 🥶
The day immediately becomes better when Ralph posts a video.
What about Sardonicast Sir?
@@BaldingSasquatch imagine being one of the hairiest cryptids AND balding
@@BaldingSasquatch lmao what kind of shitty, pessimistic, presumptuous comment is that? are people not allowed to feel happy that a youtuber they like uploaded? you're acting like the dude said "AT LAST! MY LIFE HAS MEANING AGAIN!"
@Balding Sasquatch feel sad for you taking the time to come up with such a moronic narrative. It's kinda funny how pathetic you are saying all that compared to the op saying they're happy their favorite youtuber posted a video. You're sad and it's funny.
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.
Good ol' Ralph review. Glad to have some old format content back again.
I thought this was gonna go into the whole movie. Would love a full breakdown!
Just 11 mins? All right, at least this is the kind of videos we want from you Ralph.
that abruptly ended
I love how random Ralph's choices are it's great 😅
Glad to see Ralph give some love to Let The Right One In. Absolute masterpiece.
I've never seen book of mormon used as a reaction clip before and now i have to see more lmao
i miss the old edits, thanks for teh throwback
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.
And as always, I must drop everything to watch a Ralph upload. Bless this day.
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.
Yay, a good old fashioned RTMM review. Thanks Ralph!
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
You think he is underutilized here. He is in Postal by Uwe Boll for some reason.
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...
very happy to see this style of video from you again, great watch. thank u :)
Old skitty Ralph is back 🎉 No really , Im glad to see you have fun with this review. Cheers and keep em coming
I love Michael Fassbender but his agent makes some……..very interesting choices when picking roles.
What an incredibly timely video
Ralph is not the keyboard warrior chasing quick views riding on whatever's trending📈
Nothing better than to get in notification from a new ralphthemoviemaker video!
I feel so proud. I’ve never been here so early.
I'm always so excited when you upload
holy shit I've been binging your videos all day, what a nice surprise
So good to hear your voice again
Glad to see you upload Ralph we really needed it lol
LOL. These are the derpiest snowmen I've seen! They're supposed to be eerie, but they're just too try-hard!
whoa.... is this an old classic RTMM videop in current year? I miss this format.
You still got it. I‘ve been waiting for this.
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
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.
Title suggestion: Hello Mister Police
Luv ur bideos, ralph. I watch them when I'm trying to watch movie reviews.
Where’s the skits?
He stopped doing them years ago
I could not believe they edited this movie the way they did, it is almost like the editor had a great sense humor
Hey ive had a pretty bad week so when i finally got around to checking my notifs this made it better
Strange timing. I just yesterday asked for one of his oldest videos on reddit and here he is. Im so reaaady
Val Kilmer is phenomenal, loved him in the saint 1997
At least there's a skit in this one thank you
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.
Babe, wake up, new Ralph video dropped
HE’S BACK. HE’S BACK BABY. I love you Ralph Sepe, but Ralph’s ON TOP!
dood i missed these type of videos! :D
Harry Hole is the greatest protagonist name of all time
Will you fellas be reviewing this review?
@@WhiteChocolate74 12/12 Eggs. Good one Ralph
2 of my favorite youtubers have made snowman videos
I remember seeing this movie having never seen the trailer, man what a ride
oh man i miss these rtmm reviews
Classic ralph video formula is back!!! :D
Ralph returns, woohoo
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.
Whoa, just unlocked the memory of seeing the trailer for this onxe or twice
New Ralph video?? Longer the better (No Jomo) please never stop
Jomo
RALPH! Just sat down with my food and saw the notification! pumped
HOLYSHIT RALPH IS BACK
The book is actually very entertaining. Recommended.
Harry Hole lmao that never gets old
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??
still can't believe val kilmer chose this over the kickstarter breaking bad sequel where he could have starred alongside slash
10:41 That made me laugh harder than it should have
omg new ralph video :)
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.
At 8:10 you can actually see that they CGI'd in a talking mouth over a still image of her.
OH MY GOD YOU'RE RIGHT
😂😂😂
I wonder if it's the same people who did the CG to remove Henry Cavill's moustache.
Great timing considering it's recent addition to the U.S. Netflix.
I don't have anything interesting to say, but I was literally working on a name-badge for a Book of Mormon costume for a Broadway musical-themed event when the clip at 1:57 played. It was the last place I was expecting a Book of Mormon reference. Made me jump. (Also, glad to see some longer vids! Hope things are going well.)
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.
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.
Babe get up, Ralph uploaded again
This movie always intrigued me, that’s for watching so I don’t have to Ralph
ralph is back baby
welcome back, thought you had stopped making reviews
He's back, baybee.
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.
They didn't have to translate it, they just could've pronounced it correctly
Most random movie to get a RTMM. Was expecting there to be one when it came out
Good video!
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.
Good video Ralph
Don’t think I forgot you promised us a part two of Charlie’s angels you hack
Omg he’s back
When Ralph uploads my testosterone levels rise
Honey ! New RTMM video !
