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.

三星半吧，还是更喜欢诺兰的版本。说实话，如果设定蝙蝠侠的父亲真的有污点，他的信仰崩塌又重建，可能还有点新意，事实证明，他父亲还是个正人君子，我觉得这让低沉、阴郁的蝙蝠侠看上去略显矫情。
好喜欢这一版蝙蝠侠 真的很像倔强又脆弱的流浪狗狗 好想欺负他！俩次都是被亲亲嗑得我 虽然一系列破案就是全程不赶趟但也完全没有拖沓的感觉 猜谜我都猜不出来lies still这个双关真的妙极了 配乐也超喜欢 第二部第三部快点搞起来啊华纳
嗯，这片有点追求！哥谭拍得好，是那个味儿，角儿也是那个气质，就是叙事有点抻了，节奏把握得不好，好些该要好的地方没要下好来，可惜了，不过不要紧，最该有的已经有了，路子对了
罗伯特·帕丁森的演技愈磨砺愈进步，值得大大的称赞，废旧黑暗风也十分带感，剧情节奏也紧锣密鼓，所有人员都忠心于角色，但总是给人一种按部就班表演的感觉，不甚尽兴。// PS. 每一代蝙蝠侠都映射了某些所处时代的症结，但一代又一代，似乎永远在拯救哥谭，可现实中的哥谭却雨后春笋般拔地四现，多么讽刺。
跟《猩球崛起》第三部风格很像，宗教救赎感很像，也跟动画《黑暗骑士归来》很像，看来导演是下定决心要回归漫画原著了。彩蛋是真的坑。
·猫女后来有一段踹人的高光动作，真就和喵喵日常犯贱一jio如出一辙。
浪费别人时间就是图财害命，还这么长，罪加一等，再减一星。
剧情和台词略尴尬。对人物的重新塑造倒是不排斥，但某角色像是 peaky blinders 走错片场。一星给美学吧。（蝙蝠侠的动机太像 vader's theme 了）
猫女长大后想拯救她那个同样因为“想从男人身上获益”而被害的朋友，来拯救母亲。
帕丁森的稚嫩脆弱感是前几代所没有的，整体色调确实也不错，但亮点也就仅限于此了。基调定在破案故事上，但案件的推动都太无力，蝙蝠侠只是起到了在场听结果的效果。和猫女的爱情线over了，戴皮革头套和毛线头套的人接吻不会违和吗。
72. 主体不同又共享的“后窗”式窥视：透过取景器放大城市，进入家庭、阶级，透过现象看本质，猜谜底，沉重的呼吸声对应脚步声。穿透窗户也是打开未知魔盒：窗后有养猫的女孩，再阴郁的哥特吸血男孩也会感受到twilight时的温暖；同时真相也是危险的，打开每个家庭都是阅读见不得光的莎翁伦理历史，某时你发现（也许在梦里）瞥见的男孩其实是过去的自己。大瘟疫、大洪水、大方舟...天降下庶民共同遭受的灾难（或也都是人祸），而任何先驱和精英都不再值得信任，到第七天人们还是得靠一个不怎么自信和强悍的angsty emo boy来扮演持灯分海者，他告诉大家《黑暗骑士》说得对，人们必须看到正义光明面，复仇者不可。屋顶有时像双人广播剧的案桌，一瞥纽约侦探黑色电影的暗影。总之，是在诺兰披风阴影下迈出的非常不坚定的一步。
风格很棒，但这次的蝙蝠侠在写实的大框架下，被塑造得太弱了，反派和蝙蝠侠都弱。写实到即便跳出这版蝙蝠侠的故事，单纯讲警匪或恐袭的片子也可能是很类似的感觉，超英在这里已经成为纯外壳了。
所有人都以为他在扮演蝙蝠侠，只有他知道他在扮演布鲁斯·韦恩。
最苦大仇深的一代蝙蝠侠，暗黑且接近凡人，钞能力彻底失效
DC和漫威的风格差异真的好大啊，一个是把电影拍的很实，有在认真的输出思想，很长，一不小心就会让人觉得有点无聊。另一个就是非常的水，怎么炫酷怎么来，没什么思想，但一不小心就成“大片”。新蝙蝠侠和黑暗骑士气质有些相似，家属觉得很无聊几度睡着，但我还蛮喜欢的，如果片长缩短点会更好。
对没有预想中黑暗耿耿于怀。最深的黑是人物内心世界的幽暗，这也是哥谭诸位人杰的魅力。但这部无论正反人物都过于坦荡简单。上线的三大反派企鹅人、谜语人、罗马人，表演再好也都是工具人属性，不要说达到小丑或双面人的高度，甚至赶不上黑暗骑士崛起的贝恩。蝙蝠侠更是从头到尾毫无犹疑扫黑除恶，复仇的阴影止于开头、对父亲的怀疑没持续五分钟就被阿福化解、来自母亲的疯狂基因则只成拍摄续集的铺垫。结尾化身抗洪抢险好市民后激情演说的段落怎么看都彻底走味儿。但还是想给一个五星。纵有千般不是，新蝙蝠侠也在游乐场化的超英片面前，捍卫了电影的尊严。
这部算是给我看懂重要的那几个人物关系了，好！但是本以为走硬派老派侦探风格，结果推理还是不够硬。
有诺兰版珠玉在前，要想超越真的太难。但在我看来，这次重启依然称得上大胆而有力量的尝试。它在尝试着唤醒早已被主题乐园式超英电影“愚弄”多年的观众们对电影本身的信心与热情。
不太明白戴个面罩还要画个会掉的眼影是想干嘛。。。。
中国：？
