      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 Tess V The funniest movie I've ever seen. With my family and friends we watched this at least once a year for years and every time it was amazing and a non stop laugh. An absolute must see Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/26/22 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 Not the best Discworld film of Discworld Book, but a good adaptation (better than the books, film also adapts The light fantastic, in my opinion) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 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 Read all reviews Post a rating
