Set to broadcast in two one-hour films, this family treat is inspired by the classic books of Barbara Euphan Todd and is pegged to be the TV event of the season. Mackenzie Crook has taken Scatterbrook farm and the infamous characters of this well-loved tale and injected them with a tender and authentic charm. This is the perfect family adventure, packed with a fun, mischievous spirit and delivered with an environmental message.
Mackenzie Crook, (Pirates Of The Caribbean, Detectorists) who has written, directed and stars as Worzel Gummidge, has gathered a host of both accomplished and brilliant actors who are set to appear in this eagerly anticipated adaptation.
Playing The Green Man, creator of the scarecrows, who arrives to Scatterbrook in episode two, is comedy legend Sir Michael Palin. He says: “It’s a lovely part for me, but the whole script is very memorable and touching, and very funny too. It quite skillfully weaves in something for everybody all the time.”
Zoë Wanamaker (My Family, Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone) will play the eccentric local aristocrat, Lady Bloomsbury Barton in episode two. She says: “The whole thing is so charming and inventive. It’s the sort of thing I’d watch. I’m sure it will be a huge success. I know it will - it’s divine.”
Vicki Pepperdine (Getting On, The Windsors) takes on the role of the formidable Aunt Sally in episode one. She says: “There’s something for everybody. It’s got this heart to it, and you’d be hard pushed as an adult not to engage with it.”
Steve Pemberton (League Of Gentleman, Benidorm) will play Mr Braithwaite, the farmer. He says: “This is the kind of show the whole family can enjoy together. It has a lot of humour, a lot of visual humour too, and I think kids will enjoy watching the children being central to the story.”
Rosie Cavaliero (Gentleman Jack, Cleaning Up) will play Mrs Braithwaite, she added: “It’s a story about the imagination, and children escaping into this different world. Mackenzie’s version is totally contemporary.”
Ones to watch India Brown (Hetty Feather) and Thierry Wickens (making his TV debut) will play Susan and John, two city children spending their summer at Scatterbrook farm who quickly befriend Worzel and begin a summer of adventures.
The first episode, The Scarecrow Of Scatterbrook, sees two young strangers arrive in the village of Scatterbrook. It’s not long before Susan and John encounter Worzel Gummidge, the Scarecrow of Ten Acre Field. Their world is sent spinning into confusion when they realise Gummidge comes to life. The only person more shocked is Worzel, when he discovers that the children are not in fact fellow scarecrows but humans.
Their worlds should never commune but fate has conspired to create an extraordinary union. The seasons have stopped and the harvest hasn’t arrived. The rhythm of the natural world is out of kilter and this unlikely trio must try to put it right. Magic, mystery and mayhem unfurl.
The second episode, The Green Man, welcomes another mysterious arrival to Scatterbrook. The Green Man is the creator of scarecrows and keeper of scarecrow lore. He isn’t at all happy that Worzel is consorting with humans. Elsewhere, local aristocrat Lady Bloomsbury Barton is holding a fete, with a Scarecrow competition that Worzel is determined to win. What will The Green Man and Worzel's most competitive rival, Soggy Bogart make of it all?
Worzel Gummidge is written and directed by Mackenzie Crook and is a Leopard Pictures, Treasure Trove Productions and Lola Entertainment production for BBC One. It is Executive Produced by Kristian Smith for Leopard Pictures, Lisa Thomas for Lola Entertainment, Mackenzie Crook for Treasure Trove Productions, with rights holders Patrick D. Pidgeon and Eric S. Rollman executive producers for Pidgeon Entertainment, Inc. It is produced by Georgie Fallon and Alex Moody is the Commissioning Editor for the BBC.

动作爽片，和血溅十三号警署类似的火拼片片……
前传与前两部的风格迥然不同，变成了对历史的戏说，斐迪南大公遇刺、俄国十月革命、拉斯普京乱政、白宫艳照门、以及最后彩蛋希特勒与列宁的会晤……整体还是平庸无趣，亮点在于三人合战芭蕾舞魔僧拉斯普京，略显cult气质。
前摇过长，节奏略怪，女主演技完全担不起女主，倒是两个杀手的对戏还挺有看点，一般
一路killing很high，黑人女警很敬业
黑人都快拯救宇宙了，这太正确了，黑人警察，白人骗子和白人杀手，另外这故事放十年以前也不算新，确实没甚意思，女警就跟傻子似的，就是斯巴达还耐看点。
中间还行，结局的各种反转真是俗套至极，Bob深藏功与名可还行，女警察封神可还行，高级杀手简直正义的化身，就这样吧，两个男主演技撑全场
前面半个小时节奏慢死，后面还好些，但整体拉胯！
陷落哥陷落系列。最后决战男主在火力体力占尽优势，且战且退有点扯犊子。
总结：警察很废（除了女的），杀手很无厘头，枪战很燥，坏人很惨（除了陷落先生），米国很黑（非戏谑之语）。
IMAX@英皇iSQUARE 先说争议最大的点。刚开始看的时候，这种剧情确实对我们接受内地传统史观的人造成了较大冲击（特指刺杀侵略者斐迪南大公的塞尔维亚人普林西普被说成是恐怖分子）。然而从另一方面来说，提取各位历史人物的负面评价进行单纯的戏谑，也是有点意思的。（毕竟这只是提取要素加以点评，而不是中国喷子始祖罗贼罗贯中式的泄愤式恶意歪曲历史式的抹黑。）而且能看到这些历史事件的重现，着实让我激动了一阵子。/但是从电影拍摄来说，真的几乎没有任何优点。拍不出前两部的那种自然而然的绅士elegant（本系列的最大特色）是本电影的最大败笔。并且节奏混乱，剧情割裂感很强，降智成分也不少，恶搞了历史也是玩玩段子，没有上升到思想。/男男的那段玩得有点过了，而且最严重的问题是它败光了kingsman的逼格。
还可以，人物都很鲜明，可惜最后的结尾让我觉得差了些，不然可以给四星的。
真闹挺，第一次尝试看直接看睡着了，为了不浪费那一小时，过了段时间又接着给看完了🙃
就喜欢这种封闭小空间里开始时又实力悬殊的攻防战。监狱里手无寸铁的家伙其实每个都不好惹，而正邪的划分只看谁是疯子。黑人女警的战斗力有点过分了，很明显和她的同事们不在一个世界。整个警察局陷落得有点太轻易了，要是来了一队人马也就算了，一个疯子就搞定了所有人。不过很久没看爽片了，期待这样的多一些。
影评人不喜欢，但我觉得很有趣。这部电影用一种黑色幽默的手法，把第一次世界大战的偶然性和残酷性都体现了出来。这本是一场不必要的战争，人头滚滚，皇冠落地。一腔热血的年轻骑士死得偶然又毫无意义，但这正是一战的荒诞之处。明摆着瞎编历史，但历史本来荒唐。如果说有什么不足之处，配乐太满了算一处吧，其实不需要这么用力地营造宏大的仪式感。
别抱着杰拉德陷落系列的希望看，被微冲近距离突突居然都不死
ralph主角我不行。故事莫名其妙配乐太大声。goode的颜还是那么棒。brutal for no reason特别烂生气，化用历史part也很低能。回想kingsman第一部，就知道mv不行。拖到现在不知道还能拍几部。还有aaron。审美也差，beachrat的小哥也不好看了。最后开会把每个人名号按上那里有点回归第一部想念我merlin有一星。goodie一星。
事实证明要多看7分以下的电影。。。个人认为要从编剧/导演筛选避雷。爆米花电影4星加一星提高平均分~
浪费时间的100分钟 平淡老套小儿科又不够热血的剧情和台词 说实话感觉脏了我的豆瓣 但是强迫症又逼得我要给这个打分
前半段女主好聪明，后半段开始主角们的不死之身。
难看炸了，疫情期间商业片都交出些什么玩意儿，烂的无力吐槽，片长天荒地老，废话连篇，如坐针毡，拿腔拿调，冠冕堂皇，上两集起码还有漂亮的动作戏可以看，这部“起源”全靠嘴炮，一众角色蠢钝如猪，一场干巴巴的击剑对峙，就是整部电影的高潮，成本压制，穷酸潦倒，院线片就拿出这种东西糊弄人，更佐证了流媒体是这个特殊时代最最重要又不可或缺的观影媒介。★
