Add a CommentAlthough I have not read any of Terry Pratchett's novels, I rather enjoyed this film. The costumes were very eye-catching and some of the characters had a lot of gusto and personality. My favorite memorable character would be the villain, Reacher Gilt. I love how awesome he looks! The British humor is very apparent and I enjoy it too. The only character which got on my nerves was Adora. I found her too bitter and sarcastic. I also enjoyed the werewolf lady cop, she was pretty cool. The story was alright too.
I loved every minute of it; the humour, the story, the settings and the actors. A neat sound track too. I never liked a rogue/hero more than Richard Coyle's Moist von Lipwig. This inspired me to start reading Terry Pratchett.
Not as good as the book, but this was fun to watch. Also check out Hogfather.
I loved the book and could not wait to see the movie. I thought the movie was faithful rendition and done very well. Moist starts off as clueless to the suffering he causes as in the book. Adora is prickly, blunt, caustic though you eventually find out she has good reason to be. I loved the book and I loved the movie. It is quirky and fun.
The Going Postal is a masterpiece visualization of wars between 2 monopolists - the corporations powering communications in a Disk World. The must see film for anyone, who has curios mind, sense of humor and enjoy of being entrepreneur. Absolutely brilliant!
This tries to be Douglas Adams, without the fun, or laughs, wit or irony. At the end it resorts to being silly and finishes campy. Adora is so tiresome, irksome and boring, you wish she had of opened the door and fallen down the hole herself long before the second episode. The only saving graces are the hero and his 'angel' who try very hard to rescue a lame story and bad supporting actors.
