Incongruous storytelling. If you don't know the plot, most likely you won't understand the storyline. So read the book or watch the eponymous series of 2005 by Vladimir Bortko.
The entire movie I was comparing my experience from series of 2005 to this newbie comeout, and leaving all stars to the old one. Sorry, but you can't fit such enormous masterpiece into 2.5 hours movie. A lot of valuable information about characters missing, so you're not really immersed into the plot.
Another bummer is graphic backgrounds of Soviet Era like Atomic Heart game. I guess the whole idea of the Bulgakov novel was to show that the satan lives among us in our reality.
