reading the book at the mo. Funny, I've tried reading Discworld about 3 times already, but never really 'got' it. This time it's all kinda clicked into place. Suppose there is a right time for everything. Yay, lots of new stories to plunder.
woah i really loved this film, but everyone here is like "hogfather " and "going postal" were better? i haven´t yet watched those (didn´t even know going postal was made into a movie o.O) but I´m so going to! :D
The beginning of the movie was a bit slow, but by the end it had really picked up and I was thoroughly enjoying myself. Highly recommended to Pratchett and fantasy fans.
This movie is so good i loved it... Altho sum parts are a lil far fetched but wat movie doesnt have far fetched ideas... Just go and see it at fillmsi.co.cc, you gonna love it. Great movie.
She gets like half a second in the trailer. I paused it so I could see if it was her. I still saw her though! Yay! I didn't know about this movie untill my friend talked about it and now I want to go see it at fillmsi.co.cc!
I saw this today! i LOOOOVEEE IT! i had an advanced screening, when it comes out tomorrow everyone will love it! It is even available on fillmsi.co.cc already so you can get it there if you like!
This movie is gonna be awesome I love it and I love the comics. I am cheking it on fillmsi.co.cc. This director is the greatest comics i have ever read. This must be awsome!
I cant tell if i enjoyed the film for what it is or because she was in it. i watched it because of her.. but it was actually pretty awesome. I found it at fillmsi.co.cc. i enjoyed it...
Critics are lame. That's why most Oscar winning films are boring as hell =) If you want a film that you can enjoy, dont bother with *rating* which was given by some fat old men sitting in basement and try to find *mistake* in films whole day =) See this one on fillmsi.co.cc! Enjoy!
I'm not saying that thefilm looks like it's gonna be great, I'm saying that it might be better than the trailer. I will check it on fillmsi.co.cc today so after that I will have better comment to put here...
I thought the colour of magic was the best discworld novel because I love the combination of Rincewind and twoflower. The movie was in my opinion fantastic. Sean Astin's portrayal of Twoflower was exactly how I imagined him and Tim Curry was great as well. Christopher Lee's voice of Death was hilarious and there was only one major bit of the book missing from the movie, so otherwise it was pretty accurate. My favourite discworld movie so far.
Follow through to my channel to watch colour of magic / hogfather / going postal and find all the news and updates on the new terry pratchett films on the ONLY dedicated terry pratchett channel on youtube (ramtopsman)
its tough to adapt terry pratchetts stuff to the screen me thinks.... the hogfather was pretty good, havent seen this one yet, but i woulda thought rincewind would be played by a younger actor. i always thought rincewind was meant to be in his mid to late thirties or something.
I just watched the movie and despite of the special effects, it was an awesome experience :D I've seen a great lot of fantasy movies and this one is by far one of the best ^^
Very disappointed with the film, it left out some of the best characters from the book like Weasel, Bravd and Hrun, its a fucking joke!! Fair enough the entire book you would need a huge budget to make, but if your gonna do it, do it properly,do the book justice, I bet the screen adapter was a pretentious twat that "liked" the book but thougt it needed some changes to compensate for their ego,fucking twat!! Avoid, read the book use your imagination, it's1000 time better than this heap of shit!!
@killerwheeliebin Wow, Killerwheelie. Go easy on the swearing. Anyway, in case you haven't noticed, not one movie ever made from a book has ever been greater than the book itself, and this one does surprisingly well, in fact. Also, the movie runs to a ridiculously long time as it is - not that I mind - and including Hrun the Barbarian, Weasal and Bravd, and the hamadryads would have stretched the length to an unacceptable point. Considering the difficulties involved, it is brilliant.
Seems like one of those movies that makes you cringe with embarrasment because of the poor special effects or whatnot. Such a good book. And Sean Astin is in it so it can't be all bad.
see if I close my eyes I hear Danger Mouse. looks like David found his proper calling. Thought this was one of the best movies of this sort since the princess bride. and it stands on it's own
watched Hogfather. just as interesting. not quite as funny, although it was more of a drama than outright farce. Much preferred David Jason as Rincewind in this movie though. However the video interview on the Hogfather dvd was informative.
That's just awful. Rincewind is supposed to be a young scruffy guy, not some old guy. And Twoflower is supposed to be Asian, not white. Horrible casting.
@guitardbucket Maybe they are thinking covers because Rincewind's has always coming off looking exactly like I thought he would in the movie. that and Danger Mouse or is that Moose? uh...
Actually, I liked Hogfather a lot better--This one just didn't really have anything in it that made me want to keep watching. Worked better as a book, I suppose.
Movie was on TV in Germany yesterday. If the book is even half as good as the movie (and they usually are better than the films), I'll buy it in no time. Fantastic movie, I'm looking for the DvD right now.
Oh, and you know what? Films made out of books just can't care about every single detail. But the result of this book is fantastic, so I won't care about the age of the wizard - he was perfect as he was. :-)
Well, it's pretty well mentioned that Rincewind is a *young* wizard, though. Of course, he was supposed to be the same age as Trymon - he says in The Light Fantastic that they were in "the same class," which I took to mean grade level.
I love the books, and doing any adaption to film would take the kind of money lavished on Harry Potter - since this isn't the case I think they did a pretty good job. One thing they got perfect is (for me) Christopher Lee as Death ;) Maybe one day there'll be another version, but if I want to see what it should really look like I'll read the books from the start again...
Agreed. I suppose it's a lot easier to blow 200 million dollars a movie on seven movies rather than thirty-six. Not to mention the slightly smaller (though no less rabid) readership Sir Terence enjoys.
In the part one there's Liessa the Dragon Lady (minor role actually but anyway), and in part two there are Bethan and Herrena the Henna-Haired Harridan. Yes, that makes three in movie where there's few dozen characters... but what's the point in calculations?
seen the first part and liked it

I hope you realize that the movie was closely monitored by Pratchett himself, and that most changes were his own ideas to begin with.
I suggest you inform yourself before blurting out ideotic statements.
