Kurt L Tim Curry is about the only reason to watch this, err, thing. But even he could only do so much with this mess. The two main characters are the worst actors in the movie. The person playing the tourist has all the acting ability of a cardboard box. And really, other than for the walking crate that follows him everywhere he goes, there isn't even a reason for him to exist in the story. The elderly wizard is equally painful to watch or listen to. They have him mumbling in fear constantly. And much of the time, his mouth isn't even moving. They're just dropping in bad voice overs. You can keep going down the list of every character that appears. Bad, bad, bad. Crappy dialogue. Downright creepy that the 20ish woman fawns over (and marries!) an 80 something year old Conan the Barbarian. And OMG, long and BORING! This pile of cow dung could have EASILY had over an hour of junk trimmed off of it. Whoever edited this steaming pile should never be hired again for anything. It *might* have been more watchable if it moved along. But alas, I don't think anything they shot was cut. Not one bit of it.

Pure Bleccch! Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/29/24 Full Review 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 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/24 Full Review SASS Q Great series would have had loved to see more Rated 5/5 Stars •  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 2.5/5 Stars •  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 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
