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.

好像也没有那么烂（可能是提前有了心理预期），有几个对于人类科技文明演化的构思还蛮有趣的，以及头一次见安吉丽娜朱莉的戏份这么尴尬……
画面还是很绝的 把公交车变成花瓣雨的画面太美了 还是有女性导演的审美 各个古文明城市都有涉及 但是剧情看到后面不认真的我看不懂了 被操控还是背叛 不是很重要了 主题我也没看懂讲了个啥 反正看样子还有续集 倒是各种人物群像都做全了 还有黑人大胖子的基？我不可以反正
道理我都懂，也看得出导演努力且用心了，但即便抛开争议，大杂烩的结果也是没法取悦任何人。想看动作爽片的发现节奏慢到想睡，想看英雄成长的发现技能点都直接粗暴加满又清空，想跟少数群体共情的发现导演端坐在天上给你干讲道理，想看文艺片的……谁来漫威看文艺片？
片子提了一个好问题：如果人类被设计出的目的是有朝一日集体牺牲成为新物种的饲料，那灭绝人类是否合理？其他部分就挺无聊，普通漫威水平。
比想象中好。主角和巨大无比的大boss视觉上的对比非常震撼，就像佛祖手里的孙悟空一样；美术不错，金属质感的细线看起来很高端大气；特效有时候很糙但不出戏；导演风格还是在的。单这一部来说还算可以自圆其说，但放在漫威宇宙就很奇怪了，上天入地的，主题太宏大了。
虽然说大部分文艺片导演都看不上漫威电影，但事实证明，术业有专攻，文艺片导演想要拍出合家欢高口碑的电影也不容易。
至于日裔编剧书写，华裔导演力排众议加入的广岛原子弹片段，Chloé Zhao可真行（贬义）
世界观与《异形》《普罗米修斯》《星际争霸》同源，都是讲人与自然、人与人之间的争斗，这也是人类文化的母题。
赵婷与漫威的结合是风格化导演与商业类型片的融合和角力，谁占主导和上风谁就赢了。当永恒族集结家人们且站成V字型时，漫威气质就开始占了上风……
电影给三星，多一星给赵婷，越是不Marvel我越喜欢！前半段比较拖，花了很多时间交代故事背景，把十个神介绍给观众，不说饱满但也不单薄，各有各自的特点，我觉得这群戏可比复联拍得好多了。没有终极大反派，就是一群神在探讨是应该守护人类还是牺牲人类以成全宇宙的延续，后半段的反转还是挺惊人的，我被吓一跳。人类文明的起源从古巴比伦到玛雅文化，发展到在广岛投原子弹，到现代又加入了很多宝莱坞的元素，最后还有把孙悟空抓走的五指山和如佛祖一般的超级神，很难想象有欧美导演会这么拍，赵婷的内核还是中国的。想要探讨深刻的内容，但是台词有时候直白了点，讲出来显得尬。电影处处体现着diversity和inclusion，看到这样一群天神下凡舒适感满格。摄影很不错的，气势恢弘，画面很赵婷。
赵婷也是挺不容易，被凯文·费奇挖去漫威拍大片，结果一上手就是这样一部零观众基础的群像起源片。滚导拍GotG，不说没这么多人，本来走的也是妥妥的B级片路子，流行文化方面把握起来也相对容易；赵婷呢，直接就上MCU从来没有过的epic，时间线横跨几千年，不仅不像传统超英片，分明是都是历史神话片了。可算给凯文·费奇坑了一手。估计她自己拍的时候也力有不逮，然后还得面对story编剧对“反思历史”的绵绵执念（screenplay当然其实也很差劲了），想想能有现在这个呈现也不好多责难什么，毕竟是尼尔·盖曼也没能救活的IP。就是不知道杰克·科比看了会怎么想，片尾字幕说是改编自comics by Jack Kirby，结果剧情里全部用的是Alex Ross和Jim Krueger的Earth-9997永恒族设定，致敬杰克·科比的地方还不如塔导的雷神电影多……
从选角到表演，到剧情，到高潮设计，无一不透着一股傻气，就是感觉很傻。不知道相对非主线的漫威电影，为啥找些气质和经验都不搭的人来导
我挺喜欢这电影的，人物塑造各有千秋，浪味仙lonely god也是有意思。点进破口大骂的评论者主页一看那位朋友掏了19块人民币在日记里大声夸奖自己“对于自己有益有兴趣热爱的东西要舍得付费”。好像，从某天起，在豆瓣上写的出有意思评论的人们，一个一个不是不得已被豆瓣驱逐，就是心灰意冷自我放逐了。如果当时看完尚气我还没能意识到，那这部电影也足够了。
人类对一切一无所知继续破坏地球，但是他们看到了神迹。这点还挺好的。
看完不能说难看，毕竟是MCU中的一环。……看的过程就有点煎熬，无非是这么点事，非要塞进这么多东西，而且出现影视剧最忌讳的事儿，用大量对白俩交代和解释前世今生。……本来就是个群戏，还有大量的闪回，最后的片尾把地球上的古文明往永恒族身上生搬硬套，不觉得有多么好，貌似《变形金刚5》，就因为这个被诟病和吐槽。……2个彩蛋，一个是灭霸弟弟出场，一个是刀锋战士声音出场。……片中引入了DC漫画人物超人和蝙蝠侠。……剧本不好，影片的节奏是硬伤，明明可以做一个爽片，导演却非要故作深沉，结果影片找不到自己的风格，也找不到漫威的风格，却有了渣导的暗黑风格。……影片中夹杂的冷幽默，尬死了。……DC不拍超人，漫威拍了一个。
真没想到作为漫威电影提了好几次DC英雄，更没想到内核居然是一部犯罪片。这帮战斗力还不如一代复联的生化人不仅是天神组的工具人，更是导演的工具人。赵婷用文艺片的调度节奏配上商业大片的视觉奇观，制造出了一个大型影像灾难现场。似乎她对镜头前端所发生的一切毫不关心，只在乎后景的自然风光是否足够壮丽。
太长了，七个月+的孕妇表示膀胱顶不住🥲🥲🥲
十个角色，如此多的信息量（跟尚气一样回忆补充），两个半小时的压力还是太大，做成剧慢慢讲也许会好点。（设定真的没跟叉男重吗？）
PSS：虽然早有准备，但名场面一出现，还是让人觉得像生吞了一只蟑螂。
导演力求个人风格渗透类型技巧的尝试从视听到节奏都是彻底失败的，强行借其东方标签去诠释解读只是身份偏见的狂妄。八仙过海动凡心，自诩救世主牧羊人结果是帮着奴隶主养肥了羊好来宰个痛快的刀子，如此老套故事依然编排得七零八落。2021的MCU滞重迟钝到不知如何续写传奇，导演招牌和一众巨星拖不动昏睡身躯再度飞驰。于是看点分散到苦麦的段子，长得跟12岁Dunst如出一辙的McHugh 饰演Tinker Bell/ Claudia 为了爱而不得的Peter Pan/Louis插刀他的爱人Wendy/ Lestat，石化演技堪比暮光首部的麦登和陈静演了一出国产仙侠般的拉拉蓝，名字就是大型剧透的伊卡洛斯和他另一次元的狼兄弟共同爱着叫Circe/Cersie/Sersi的女人，她的超能力却不是化兽而是迈达斯之触…
