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.

我的天！还我安妈，啥子烂角色，不稀罕演！脸盲犯了，尴尬症犯了……看不下去
你们知道开倍速看都觉得无聊是一种什么感觉吗？
这可能是第一次在豆瓣上没有为即时看过的电影打分。真的打不出来，我现在思维还太混乱，没有办法用我的价值观评判影片的争议点，但选择无视或者绝对中立其实又是对弱势方的变相迫害，所以，我选择不打分。OK，说回电影，经典一句话影评就是：玩一盘文明6而已，为了存不存档这么纠结？
即使抛开最争议那部分不谈，这片也着实差劲。全片充斥着表达与妥协的拧巴感，使它既没有完成商业电影可看性的任务，也没有说出任何言之有物的内容，空洞、乏味、虚假、自以为是，可看性0，存在意义0。
果然——烂番茄不喜欢，我就不讨厌。
被“唯物史观”洗脑后的我，一方面觉得电影讲的东西很可笑，尤其是没了漫威惯有的恰到好处的插科打诨之后，英雄救世这故事变得十分SB。但另一方面也觉得自己可笑，竟也变得如此SB。
7分。這部漫威很特別，很DC. 我喜歡趙婷賦予《永恆族》的微弱凜冽的氣質和DC般宏大的視野，許多場面非常壯觀，質感一流，也一改漫威講無聊冷笑話的習慣，盡量保持神話性質的莊嚴。看來漫威也不是不能改變，我挺喜歡這種風格的，故事很簡單，但美術、置景和特效真的很大氣。《無依之地》的美學用在那個故事上就很無聊，用在《永恆族》就對了。唯一的缺點是敘事笨重，閃回和present線來回交替未免過於臃腫，這如何體現趙婷作為一名奧斯卡級導演的聰明呢？
这真的是muti-culture梗片啊！迪士尼故意选了基特哈灵顿来报复华纳HBO的吧！囧know nothing和rob一起和瑟曦谈恋爱，囧还有复杂家族史，你那剑不是铁王座烧化之前偷摸拽出来的？囧一句i love you cersi真够恐怖！小孩开头上课就狼狮子的，还有拉民的配乐，权游还没完然后就直接肝DC了够直接！全片世界各大文明历史风情全领略一番，还不忘来一个讲阿拉伯语的boyfriend可以啊！结尾再用西游记穿起来，就文化大融合了呗，哦对还有大洋里石像提亚穆特好像变5沙漠里传输一半的赛博坦，正好还有嘉玛陈！就把这部当梗片看还能增加点乐趣吧！整体就是个纯纯的ppt元素堆砌，各种正确大集合，白男就必反派，不该正确的瞎正确，该正确的...连老美一起得罪，最后说一句，插曲品味太差了，而且不搭！
虽然没有范式规定漫威电影的风格，但起码叙事能力是要有的，赵婷还是想以自己那种苍茫大地的文艺影像来打破漫威爆米花的属性，的确拍出来没那么娱乐了，但和她理想高度相差甚远，甚至节奏都是乱的，困在硕大母题里的人物也含糊不清，女主全程苦大仇深，和我的观影心情保持一致。
本应是漫威宇宙最宏大的故事，但主题上是孱弱的，立论上是站不住脚的。视听上的优秀，也只是让它显得没有那么平庸而已。
全片看完，快进比较多，剧情没有惊喜是真的，但引出这么大一个设定，觉得还是蛮有意思的，6分不到不至于吧，大至也能有个7分。2个半小时的时长明显过长的，可能是因为人物多？女主感觉魄力不够，男主最后还成了BOSS，这就过份了哦，问题蛮多，但还是可以一看吧。至于又RH了？哪里哦
【澳门英皇观影】打破常规的漫威超英片。导演用擅长的美学手段拍摄这个天神与人类关系的作品，结果自然是争议连连。好的方面是给人耳目一新的观感，各种肤色性向的人物都可以是超级英雄。诟病之处是人物过多，剧本在多条线索之间难以兼顾，节奏感不佳。
设定很有意思，当看到囧恩出来的时候，就知道女主对于地球一定有迷恋。万万没想到，她叫瑟曦，前男友是少狼主！最后的五指山太令人震惊了，我以为只是个人感受，没想到真有共情的。喜欢听我锡哥讲英文，只是太可惜，他早早就领了便当。
除开「永恒族」毫无创意的视效不谈，我就很困惑为什么明明这么想拍英雄史诗，怎么最后又拐到爱和Family上去了。当然了，这年头不管你是健身健到脱发的肌肉猛男，还是凭长相即可辱华的功夫小子，最后总逃不过这一劫。但是吧，您这老几位都是活了上千年的大仙儿了，怎么还玩这一套呢啊？知道为啥蝙蝠侠那么酷吗？就因为他他妈的没有Family。
开头就惊了我，一个会飞还能远程的加一个极速者，非要等到人家爹死了才动手，孩子都吓傻了，连基本的悲伤都没了……
全程我都在想导演可太爽了吧全世界跑着拍，卡司还包含了我花痴多年的gemma chan（不过她表演比较underwhelming，太克制了）和jolie，且没有任何大油子。羡慕。之前以为是个throwaway，现在看来是漫威的下一个大团体哎，居然这么信任她！anyway这种budget这种IP，居然还是能拍出不少自己的味道，我对她前一部的厌恶减轻了不少。没想到居然还挺适合拍这种商业大片的。整体很饱满，喜欢多元设定。节奏不拖沓，只是不着急而已。对我个人来讲可看性远高于传统超英。
脐带哈卷!~…
2.5 能get到赵婷想要表达的，属于eternal和immortal的浪漫，但就片子本身而言，非常不伦不类，后半部分明显还行，所以我觉得如果拍成剧会好很多，拍成电影怎么看怎么别扭。最后，MCU系列这块又臭又长的裹脚布到底什么时候是个头
唯独这部色调最舒服，仅仅论摄影， 对剧情之类不做评论，
气质是对的，第三幕拍的还行，但是剧本完全可以精炼，无意义和解释性的对白太多。另外Barry Keoghan真是不错
