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.

好看就是好看，杠精就是喜欢杆，杠精们 你们是开过战斗机还是其他飞机啊？还是他么参加过二战啊？哔哔赖赖的说些废话，这是电影，喜欢杆你就只去看飞机说明书去就好了，啥电影也别看。
落难飞行员突破艰难险阻回归大部队的故事，背后是顽强的意志、正义的人们和战友
想到了多年之前在电影院看的明日世界 作为拍过孤儿怨的导演把这部冒险电影拍的这么平淡无奇 只能说迪士尼品控太好！
老吉演技其实不错，整部下来基本95%的镜头都是靠他一人支撑起来讲述故事线的。说实话前面觉得节奏慢，后面又越看越心急，森林大火的设定totally不知道作用在哪里。没看过老版所以不清楚，唯一觉得设定奇怪的是过失杀人的警察还能做911的接线员，且可以在办公场所肆无忌惮的发脾气摔东西，一整个大问号。但听到女警官说broken people save broken people的时候我还是破防了一小下。最后，Ethan配的是哪个角色啊我到最后都没听出来？
以为一个人突出重围逃出生天，原来是N个人换来的重见天日。后面就不由得让人想起同样真人改编怒海潜将的黑人，两人都是身残志坚，付出艰辛努力重新回到各自战场上，还取得常人所不能及的成就，真正的战场则更让人肃然起敬！！
这个导演的作品都很不错，甚至获过奖，这部一开始就紧紧抓住了观众的心理，随着剧情推进慢慢知道男主人公是个性情暴躁而且还有哮喘病，被贬到911当接线员，全程体会一个高级别的表演，吉伦哈尔的表演可圈可点很精彩！反正我是一口气看完的，只有中间稍稍有点儿拖沓，也只是一闪而过！另外那几个人的声音有点儿没听出来是谁，看了演员表才知道阵容也凑合！
标准的好莱坞电影流水线作品，从故事情节，到人物设定，不越界，也不出彩
我曾经还因为强森和EB狠狠期待过这部片子。事实证明，迪士尼的真人电影，真的不能抱太大期望。遥想当年，还能从海盗船项目开发出“加勒比海盗”来，那我求一个“迪士尼七霸”大电影应该也不过分吧。
给予四分好评，虽然也属于苏联战争题材中规中矩的电影，体现一个民族一个国家主旋律的英雄精神，战争给人民带来的痛苦和灾难也是无法用语言表达。电影节奏感比较强，没有拖沓，故事情节的处理比较老道，情感故事采用插叙的方式，既不影响整个战争的时间线，同时把人物情感线丰富起来，战争的场景，尤其空战的镜头，比较真实，很多镜头都采用第一人称沉浸式，让观众有一种玩游戏的真实感。最后无论从战争场面还是电影的故事情节，都算是一部不错的电影。
战乱往往意味着丛林状态……又是五对轮套壳！伊尔2命中精度很难这么好……后座真无辜！打手枪有点无厘头……动作真莽！逃出追杀有点光环，但荒野求生太残酷了！狼不怕火？人比狼可怕！战争年代的爱情效率高！获救又是光环，德国人倒是真狠……歌声涨分！撞桥拍得不错！最后，好莱坞风格，未必真实……
传统的探险/寻宝剧本，老牙已掉……外加公主救王子，王子救公主，爱上吻一吻…加上反派会魔法……这也，太迪士尼…………小孩应该都不爱看这些了吧～擦边gay内容算是迪士尼向非主流人群的妥协？但总体真的太套路……遇到特殊一年……估计院线回本不容易……
不错，这种抗战的精神表现的很突出。缺点就是配音是英语，要是俄语的话就更好了。
近期连看巨石强森上演有反转情节在身的人物 以及 亲吻 Gal Gadot 和 Emily Blunt.. 略感不适应
在电影院戴上3D眼镜，观看这么一部由迪士尼乐园的游乐项目改编的电影，非常有自己亲临了这场冒险的感觉，这其实也是一种很独特的观影独特。
亚马逊河流丛林探险流水线作业，整体节奏较欢快，设定有点加勒比海盗，这个设定也是情节中的最大亮点，完全可以好好挖掘一番，最后的场景特效还是美好的。在这个要不片荒要不就是玉玉片扎堆的季节，难得给人带来一丝轻松
毕竟迪士尼 就算给了个同志角色也没挑明 更没有什么故事…貌似去掉他这个角色问题也不是很大 或者改成任何背景对主线也没任何影响……发现弟弟这个角色的演员和Hollywood男主其实有点点点像………这个电影本身没啥意思 就是激流勇进冒险团 而特效也真的很特效……
色彩绚丽，物种丰富的丛林，喜欢。情节固然老套，还是挺完整的。
[2021-08-12] ★★★☆ 一场成功的2小时奇妙奇幻喜剧冒险之旅,比自杀小队2看的顺畅.
7/10，迪士尼流水线作业程度已经无人能及了。艾米丽布朗特演喜剧片喋喋不休的角色突然不适应，给我感觉非常像博物馆奇妙夜里面的艾米亚当斯
