john d Fans of Sir Pratchett will be amazed at how bad this turkey is. And people who are not yet fans will get a very warped idea of his writing genius. Characters miss casted, plot line ignored, frankly the only thing they got right was the British spelling of "colour". Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/24 Full Review SASS Q Great series would have had loved to see more Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/15/23 Full Review Audience Member The writings of Pratchett have a strongly opinionated following. If you are not a fan, consider avoiding this film. His humour is the kind of drollness that lies between biting sarcasm and smug witticism, overlaid with a pall of dullness. Despite all the good acting, CGI and other special effects, atmosphere and direction, it's the script that falls flat. It's like watching a Monty Python film written by teenagers who were transported from the past in time machines. If you know nothing about Pratchett's works and want to give it a go, well you've been warned. If you want to watch it based on the TV series "Good Omens," remember that that was co-written by Gaiman. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic~! I've seen it a dozen times or more, and have invented a sequel in which Tiw, son of Cohen, goes off on adventures of his own, and Two Flower returns with a wife & kids, and even Rincewind is arch-chancellor and yet has a love interest Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member There is nothing even decent about this movie. The acting is terrible, the costumes and set are just the worst, the dialogue is laughable even for children. There is just not one redeembable thing in this whole film. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Loved it. Ignore the rotten reviewers. was quirky and fun, just like the books.
