The Color of Magic

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.

Pitch perfect casting if you ask me. Very fun.

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.

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

It's... cozy, for lack of a better word. Pacing's off and it completely misses on the comedy aspect, though.

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.

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

There's something essential missing from this... Can't quite put my finger on it.

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.

Painful to watch considering the quality of the source material. The director doesn't know how to shoot comedy. Seriously, there are crazy long pauses after each punchline, as if there's supposed to be a laugh track or something.

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.

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

Entertaining but could be better.

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.

Corny and full of little errors, but quite enjoyable.

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

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.

Only loosely based on the book and included a subplot from The Light Fantastic. Not particularly bad but not particularly appealing either ---- especially if you enjoyed the book.

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

Good, not sure David Jason is the best choice for Rincewind but I'm willing to overlook that.

Discworld. There should be more Death, but still.
