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.

四星半，失望的点在超人复活和选择复活超人时蝙蝠的态度反应，没有大的变化。
我不敢相信这一切都是真的，我做梦都想不到我真的能在有生之年看到这部电影。
3.慢动作镜头确实有点多，但是瑕不掩瑜。
老爷（转向小丑）
part5之前是3🌟 part6单独给4🌟 剪到180-200分钟可以给到4🌟
刚到大学，电影版17年11月份电影院上映。21年5月份大学毕业，正好导剪版出来。冥冥之中自有天意吧。
英雄联盟的电影套路大抵相同，先简单解决下英雄们的个人心理问题，然后喊喊口号就可以团结作战了，干完仗了再站在高处集体摆个pose啥的。不同于漫威的财大气粗，DC宇宙总有一种“为何青春好似烂泥”的荒芜感与颓靡感。在一座废弃的城里将枪炮当作霓虹戏耍，每个人都破碎，特写光圈是末世。另：为何超人重生时自带长裤？大反派的脑袋像个核桃。
有人说过扎导是被传统片长限制才华的鬼才导演，几部导剪电影看下来，至少我是认同的。也不得不说，如果没有韦登的院线版，正义联盟达不到今天这个分数，在韦登的JL里，几乎抹去了所有英雄的高光时刻，而这些高光并非是在两个小时左右展示不出来的。在导剪中，几个英雄的人物弧光得以展现，甚至连荒原狼都不再脸谱化，显得更为真切。大家诟病的配乐，我倒挺喜欢的，女侠的悲壮，蝙蝠侠的复古，都让我印象深刻。4个小时的时长在观影中也过得非常快，甚至一度期望它不要结束。我个人戏吃透扎导的画面与调性，所以在大量的升格镜头在我这里算优点。从第一部MOS到今天的导剪JL，庆幸每一部都去电影院体验了一次，导剪来之不易，感谢大家的付出。
好家伙 8.9分 是不是过誉了 确实比院线版完成度更高 但是很多内容都是为后作做铺垫 个人感觉看的很乱 作为独立电影去看不算完整
扎导，yyds，人设/剧情/成长弧线，一应俱全
风格更加统一，有那么几场戏真的有史诗质感了，但整体还是有点差意思了，9分过于夸张。
在这个看10分钟视频都要倍速的时代 花4个小时看争斗了4年的电影本就不是易事
Initial thoughts: 1、内容很挤，compelling之余还是有点急促，剪辑有点细，分章节模式确有意义，不过最好还是能再来半小时，进一步顺滑一些桥段。2、节奏把控上佳，不觉得有四小时那么长，看完震惊于居然已经天黑。3、扎味全面回归。4、钢骨、闪电、女侠、超人。5、一些镜头衔接有点生硬，配乐一般（但至少没有了Elfman和Williams）。8.5/10；较之于17版45/10。
整体呈段落式，故事完整，节奏扎实缓慢，有史诗感。
扎克·施奈德，庸俗化的超英市场中，升起明灯一盏。

4.全片最出彩最让我印象深刻的几个片段分别是①亚马逊女战士传递母盒。②远古大战达克赛德。③闪电侠救黑人女。④闪电侠逆转时空。
比尾灯版舒服好多。还记得那个时候看的院线版，一直都有种莫名其妙的匆忙感，好家伙原来少了那么多东西，这次扎导的版本补充了许多人物碎片，而且反派的形象比尾灯版帅多了……
结尾更是附赠粉丝不义联盟大礼包。
