The main problem and the main disease of this film is, well, the lack of rendering the climate of the book. A person who knows the book will have trouble focusing on what is happening, and the new scenes completely fail to arouse the fascination of the viewer. There is no OST here on the level of that beautiful OST which had the series from 2005. The characters here don't look like what a person imagines when he reads the book for the first time,for example, we don't have the redhead Azazello here(which I missed a lot,really). Behemoth is not the least bit funny here,literally the scenes from the book in which he and Koroviev mess with people in a different way than in the theater(which they also do in the film in an extremely unfunny way)are simply not present here,they don't exist, and this also hurts me a lot, because I don't understand why they would entertain me here. The scene in which they throw Likhodeev out of the apartment is also not interesting, which is a shame, because it was my favorite from the series and the book. Although the plus is that Woland is, well, more Woland-like, that is, he has the kind of voice that one would rather expect from Satan. In general, we get a mix of everything here and we get lost easily, especially if we are a person who has not read the book(reading the book is strongly recommended, so that no one later thinks that the film is exactly what happened in the original.
It's literally like homework that someone ineptly wrote down from a friend.
In general, this is a film that should not be made because it is not needed by anyone, it is a failed experiment, the TV series has done it perfect.
