Review of Börü

Börü (2018)
4/10
A huge let down compared to the series
23 August 2021
The actors who delivered amazing performances in the series were acting as if they were in a high school musical. The music was really generic and left me unsatisfied after the masterful soundtrack of the series. Also the sound design was really bad, it felt as if I was watching a YouTube action short film produced by a couple of cinema enthusiasts. The extras in the background were laughably bad. The bad guys were super shallow and unconvincing. Main antagonist was screaming 'I AM EVIL' throughout the movie in such a way that I was cringing so hard. I also didn't like the increased amount of Islamic elements in the movie compared to the series as well. It truly deviates from its core. I feel like the movie really tried to appeal to the general Turkish audicance compared to the series which was unique in its own style instead of showing people what they want like the movie.

I feel like this movie was rushed and was made just to finish off the series. I was expecting so much more. I hope that Alper Çaglar doesn't repeat the huge mistakes that he did with this movie in his future projects. I have been really enjoying his projects since the first Dag movie but this one really upset and disappointed me.
