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.

悲剧降临的家庭睡一觉安稳也是奢侈，生命交换的勋章连一粒病毒也无法抵挡。镜头在城市建筑和枪火来往中漂移，义气在童年碎片和成人世界中散尽。儿时钻进遗弃的车厢亦能坚不可摧，如今躲进密封的铁皮却满是漏洞，黑白皮肤从未将亲情割裂，团圆结局却要以血色祭奠。明明是你再次将枪口对准了手足，在诀别时他却唯有对你说出抱歉。
全片八成的戏都是在公路上开展的警匪追逐，迈克尔·贝导演通过大量的手持摄影、不规则构图、多视点交叉叙事、快剪快切，这种炫技式的视听语言调度，使较为单一的场景及情节营造出了紧张眩晕的氛围。不过毕竟整体内容单调，高频动作戏、过度感官刺激同样也会导致审美疲劳，略嫌冗长。另外，救护车中严重枪伤的警察居然能在如此长时间激烈、急速的飚车中生存下来，实在是过于奇迹化了，显得失真。而且，一路上只顾车内一个警察的救护却不理大量追捕警察的性命，逻辑上也不通。。。
不知所云的剧情，唯一的亮点是大量使用穿越机的镜头，对于电影观众来说确实是新奇的体验，劫匪公路片却因为两个人质的存在异常的拧巴，而且有一万种逼停救护车的方式，但就是玩起来没完，咱扎个胎行不行，太难受了，枪战也远远谈不上过瘾
What’s the fuck is with the camera movement?? 😅 everything is so messy in here and there’s no aesthetics per say 🤷🏻♀️ worse than Ryan R’s 以暴制暴
4月22日国内上院线，国外上资源…如此谜的操作，票房真的需要救护车抢救一下了
氛围和节奏还是不错的，只是剧情上很多逻辑实在不敢恭维！
典型的迈克贝风格，镜头语言毫无废话，情绪开篇拉满，故事情节虽简单但胜在节奏流畅紧凑，全程无尿点，从头爽到尾～
还是那句话，盗火线到底影响了全世界多少的导演啊，导致人人都想追求一个完美的街头枪战
就不知道除了激烈场面还想表达什么，最后强行升华也没升起来，只是觉得和变形金刚怎么那么像。导演只会拍这一种模式的片子吗？连女主都几乎长得一模一样。
略长。有一句被说烂的话用在这片可能合适“不知他人苦莫劝他人善。”但需要加个后半句，遵纪守法很重要。
而且晃镜头看着会累，就是没晃出《谍影重重》的感觉。🙃
急救是一组争分夺秒的计时步骤；抢劫是一场全方位监控下的自投罗网与夺路狂奔；连迈克尔·贝的拿手好戏也在多变的镜头拼接中，散碎如一场漫长的炸裂。深谙警道的传奇之子也只能招募到一群乌合之众，电影里的这场银行劫掠就像一场不合时宜的告别秀，不再有童年时观看虎胆系列时气定神闲的智勇决斗，一切时刻维持高肾上腺素运作，但代之以碎片化的时代风格，唯有闪回里的童年显得悠长缓慢，却在寥寥几幅无声画面中刻画出某种令人心碎的情绪，也让我被结尾那句简单的“别松手”轻易打动。这世界变化太快，慢不下来时别松手珍视之物。
炸晕了，后半段没那么闹的时候就好看多了，不知道是不是最近我浮躁了，看片总觉得不太好看……
但是最最令人无法忍受的是！迈克尔贝！连续两部电影！都是上千万上亿美元的投资！都有穿帮镜头？！！！w t f？？？我自己拍的都没有？？？？
在电影院看观感加一星！好久没看过这种爽片了 爆炸贝算是把穿梭机玩明白了
确实很炸裂，从头追到尾，但是就是感觉没什么出众的地方，就像是把高潮不断重复堆叠。可能我还是更喜欢特效爽片吧。
女生的嘴好性感！
不是Jake演的话谁要看这无聊的东西啊 原来是卖拷贝啊 没事了 PS 虽然但是 最后一枪也真是气死人
稍微有点冗长，浮夸的镜头设计很难使人保持两个小时的关注度，一些设计还是有点意思的，比如警察帮助修车，不合时宜的约会邀约，被迫要救警察等。但整体人物略显单薄，结局兄弟落网并没有给人以震撼，导演可能为了极致的类型就舍弃掉了一些东西，吉伦哈尔的角色看起来也没有太聪明的样子，前史感觉稍稍有点费。另外吐槽的是音乐的使用太差劲了
豆瓣电影的这个分数太低了点吧？是好看的动作电影啊。
