I love the Miss Fisher TV series. I binge watched it. I found it quirky, whimsical and refreshing. With the TV show, I find it a different kind of suspense as to "whodunnit"
Whilst the movie tried to incorporate all the above, and they were present, they didn't feel the same. It all felt forced.
Was it because the actors felt pressure to deliver a product for a larger, more global demographic? Was it because it was set in so many locations? The whole "global" storyline just feels like it's been done to death in previous movies, especially revolving around Middle Eastern lore & curses. it almost had an Indiana Jones feel to it.
To me, the whole movie felt a bit garbled and rushed. You couldn't really relate to, or immerse yourself, with what was being shown. I just found it didn't feel "true" to the Miss Fisher TV style, even though all the attributes were present.
I liked the movie, probably because of the nostalgia of loving the original characters from the TV show, but I definitely wouldn't be in a hurry to watch it again.
