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.

沃尔伯格和赫兰德的配合总是感觉怪怪的，没有强烈的火花，就像赫兰德手里的老旧打火机，大多数时候都是不灵光的……费雷德的扮演者和游戏里很像，但是让人很难相信她是95年的……安东尼奥班德拉斯打了次酱油，还不如《敢死队》里让人印象深刻。
这片其实线上播放就可以了。不过在大银幕看肯定比在线上好看，所以多给了半星。寻宝探险类的电影，有《夺宝奇兵》《国家宝藏》，甚至《加勒比海盗》的影子，但没有任何高于这几部电影的亮点。不仅平庸至极，而且节奏也有问题。这种电影节奏应该很快才行，可以调动观众的情绪，让观众兴奋起来。结果这部电影的武戏和文戏的节奏一样慢吞吞，看得差点打瞌睡。逻辑问题也很多，多到没必要举例。看结尾的意思是还有续集，荷兰弟探险宇宙？
马马虎虎可以看，也就个别动作场景还可以，但是寻宝部分很敷衍
特效还行，但是动作戏想向成龙靠拢，还需努力。
假，真假……看了半天找不到好的托辞觉着还是个假字了得。没有了小时候观看类似题材电影时的紧迫紧张的感觉，成人的感官会随着年龄的增长变得愈加迟钝看来是真的，不然为啥很多贰佰伍貌似无故要寻求所谓的刺激？！编剧在解密情节上基本就没下功夫，全是胡编乱造糊弄人，本来是核心的反派也死的不知所云，拍的非常一般。
但是汤姆赫兰德这位演员整体形象上的过于“鲜嫩”，对他所饰演的许多角色都起到了不小的副作用。看《谢里》时这种感觉更加强烈。
如果动作片无法用花里胡哨的动作让人忽略它的不合理那就是失败，文戏想睡，解密无聊，动作太少，请不要拍2
解密真的不行。
田园风光很治愈。
不是起个跟游戏主角一样的名字就叫改编了……全片加起来没有纯黑给神海4剪的那个片尾MV好看。
又是一部热热闹闹的无聊片子，这娃的问题就是屁话太多。
标准类型爆米花大片，该有的元素都有了，只不过除了设定和一些小元素，和原游戏没什么联系罢了。
其实本片的解密部分对比同题材是蛮敷衍的，人物关系都是以信任、背叛、信任、背叛、然后再信任来进行的。
纯粹的爆米花电影，马克加荷兰弟的老带新组合挺神奇的，情节也一塌糊涂，和速激上太空有的一拼……也不知道荷兰弟拿到什么资源了，无颜无身材，演技就那样居然最近还这么多片子……
没玩过游戏，不过能看出这个电影里有游戏的影子，一些剧情转折有些生硬，寻宝寻的也很潦草，这么容易就找到的话，不可能等好几百年。电影本身也是四平八稳，流水线出来的爆米花电影。但是荷兰弟是个惊喜，感觉比蜘蛛侠里出彩很多，没有超能力后反而更厉害一些。
最后还来了段《加勒比海盗》。
NO GOD ! PLEASE NO!一部电影能居然把所有角色，无论正派反派，都塑造的毫无魅力。而且任意两两组合，都不来电！感觉大家只是甲方乙方的关系，一点都不熟！一点都没有火花！Jesus 为什么要把一艘船吊起来飞？两个女性角色，一个看不出野心就是坏坏坏，一个不给个理由就是反复背叛。似乎有点厌女，但是实际上男性角色也没啥高光。希望荷兰弟不要再和矮个大叔纠结身高差了。
爆米花一下……是太无聊的剧情。内容到表演，油腻的一塌糊涂。
最后说一说ost，旋律重复性比较高，但theme确实属于在这类商业片里面为数不多能留下印象的，也还算可以！
提前离场了，这什么，rnm退钱。我对爆米花片很少这么刻薄，谁让它正好撞上我心情不好，该。汤姆赫兰德，几场下水戏也洗不掉的油。剧情更是跟闹着玩似的。
