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.

比丹麦版的更注重男主一些，事件本身反而成了体现男主背景性格的工具，成了一部小成本大男主电影，让吉伦哈尔好好飚了会演技。
挺欢乐的一部奇幻冒险电影，迪士尼想要复刻一个“加勒比海盗”之后的电影算是做到了一半，剧情的话一般般，不过把时间线内外的坑填完也算是难得，关于巨石的船长的身份这个转折，我感觉用力过猛，其它还好。
〈四星半〉最近的迪士尼好女权好喜欢，套路之作拍得有趣也很好看嘛。开头的巨石强森介绍项目像迪士尼吐槽迪士尼公园。
充满奇幻，推荐观看。
3.5
就是拍的好！王牌飞行员敌后迫降，艰难回国，坚持抗德的故事！
俄乌战争走向变幻莫测，这个时侯看苏德战争，见识一个传奇苏联英雄。除了叹服，更想知战斗民族走向何方？！
主线剧情只能说是走个过场吧，看点基本都集中在冷幽默上了。
imdb给四分有点过了，但是这片确实得不了高分
夜深了。03:45，CCTV-5体育频道开始直播2022卡塔尔世界杯预选赛欧洲区意大利对阵瑞士。比赛进行到11分钟的时候，瑞士率先攻入一球取得领先。这几天我的睡眠生物钟又乱了。白天睡了一天，昨晚七点多才醒来。我好像陷入了一个大的循环，睡眠时间从22点、23点、00点、07点、12点、18点，这样看也还是有规律的。最近几天心态平稳，没有看朋友圈也没有聊微信，也没有去影院看新片也没有去资料馆。此时此刻我正在吃切片吐司，因为有点饿，家里也没别的吃的。下嘴唇的溃疡还没好，吃东西有点疼。照了照镜子，发现头发又变少了，体重还是160，哎，我17年辞职以后，就把120的数据永久写入了历史，回不去了。步入中年后，感觉没有了朝气，每天过的清汤寡水，没有忧伤也没有欢愉，对未来也没有希冀。
可以说这是一部典型的俄罗斯主旋律战争片，很多细节都是错误，在剧情上也是这样。不过，作为一部战争片还是及格。其实个人觉得真正让人感动的是结尾提到的那数名虽残疾但仍驾驶飞机杀敌，有这样的军人，便告诉了为什么苏联最后赢得了战争的胜利。
1941年12月。飞行员尼古拉·科姆列夫成功地执行了命令，他奉命摧毁了前往莫斯科的德国坦克纵队。但科姆列夫的飞机被敌方战斗机击落，他奇迹般地将他的伊尔-2号攻击机降落在荒凉的森林空地上。看来最可怕的事情已经过去了，他在一场空战中幸存下来。然而，真正的考验才刚刚开始：受伤的科姆列夫必须穿越一条不可思议的道路，克服霜冻、痛苦和饥饿，远离狼群，逃避纳粹特种部队的围剿，他们要不惜一切代价找到他。飞行员怀揣着求生的意志、勇气，当然还有爱：奥尔嘉还在家里等着他归来。她的身影温暖了他，驱策他前进、脱困。他只有一次生还的机会，回到他心爱的人身边，再次登上天空，赢得胜利。
二十几年前《木乃伊》的套路，再加上一点《非洲女王号》……迪士尼，唉
被诅咒的蛇人、树人、蜜蜂人、泥巴人超酷，可惜结局没有解了他们的诅咒。
逃亡过程里抽取的几个剧情爆点可圈可点。几个空战片段完全无视二战当下德苏双方装备和战术，后世空对空导弹竟然能穿越到二战来装点主旋律，能不能别这样侮辱军械历史，沦为彻头彻尾的大苏联二战神剧。
迪士尼乐园的游乐设施改编的电影，我之前没去玩过，电影是标准奇幻冒险动作片，每一个流程都可以预测，看来迪士尼准备打造下一个《加勒比海盗》了。
主线剧情只能说是走个过场吧，看点基本都集中在冷幽默上了。
俄乌冲突已是第11天了，碰巧看到了这部俄罗斯战争电影，战争是残酷的，二战是现在也是。感人至深，四星吧。
迪士尼式全家欢电影，从迪士尼乐园的一项游乐项目创造而来，感觉是夺宝奇兵+加勒比海盗，特效有点弱，演员发挥都正常。比较反感美国老拿德国、日本这些曾经的邪恶帝国当反派塑造，就不能虚构一些？
看过的俄罗斯电影，大多英雄坚韧不拔，智勇双全，抱得每人归。
