a fantastic under-the-radar fantasy movie. penned by terry pratchett, one of the best absurdity humorists of all time. it's got a whole slew of big names, and some pretty fine production values for being so unknown. the story is, of course, amazing, and the narration just adds to that. i'm pretty happy with the direction, stylistically. go see this movie, just do it.

Among all Pratchett's adaptations I've seen this must be the dullest. Alas I'm a quite disappointed. Actors could be better chosen, since only C. Lee, T. Curry and J. Irons got roles suited for them. S. Astin (gay Sam from LotR) is just wrong. Yet it isn't that bad, but knowing Pratchett's works or seeing other movies based on his novels, you'll reget spending 3 hours of your time. P.S.: Part 2 is much better.

As an avid Terry Pratchett reader I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. True, it's not Oscar-worthy, but it IS a faithful adaptation of a Discworld novel and is actually pretty fun to watch. Read the book though.

hard to watch, long and seems to missing a lot of TP charm : (

Entertaining but could be better.

Kind of cute, kind of fun, but way too long.

It has its moments, but it's definitely not as good as the Discworld novels

Great cast, great production values and a good Pratchetty feel, but the pacing is glacial at times and the wizards are just... wrong.

Ricewind is too old. Not enough pratchett feel for me. But good movie if you dont need pratchett feel.

Nowhere near Pratchett's wit, still the pieces are put well. Production values are quite nice for a tv movie too. The problem is too much is blunted out of Pratchett for family viewing.

Pitch perfect casting if you ask me. Very fun.

Nu waren de eerste boeken van de Discworld serie al nooit mijn favoriet; ze zijn wel gòed. Dat is van dit misbaksel niet te zeggen. Alles is stroef en houterig, het acteerwerk rammelt, de dialogen zijn geforceerd, en men probeert tegelijkertijd té letterlijk het boek te volgen en het verhaal toegankelijk te maken voor 'het brede publiek'. waste of your time

A decent story, more budget than you'd expect, talented actors, and a surprisingly good score. Unfortunately, the pacing and script are pretty painful. They were reeeally stretching to get part 2 up to 90 minutes.

No matter how strange it looks like, this really IS a good movie based on a Pratchett novel. Not anywhere near the magic of the book(s), but still quite entertaining.

If you're a Pratchett-fan a must-see movie. The movie doesn't reach the level of the book, but I guess that's nearly impossible. Othwerwise a quite entertaining movie, I hope more will follow.
