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.

合格的爆米花，动作戏不错，高司令加分。角色都很单薄全靠演员撑，从故事到运镜都很好莱坞模板。
很具象的各种意义上的恐男，开头有多唯美，结尾就有多恶心🤢女主从一开始的内疚、害怕到寻求男人的帮助，到自己面对、坚守、战斗，谈判、恢复平静，这个世界没了男人真的会美好很多。
最出彩的也就数巴黎街头的枪战戏了，绝对的A级制作，但除此之外实在乏善可陈，整个故事太糊弄了，三个本来蛮讨人喜欢的演员，在这里竟然一点人情味都没有。这里的高司令和NWR中的表演简直一模一样，但气质上还是不如John wick带劲
无脑片，看个热闹，请了俩大明星，结果毫无化学反应，网飞真有钱
这个卡司，居然可以拍得这么无聊，着实没想到。 除了布拉格大战能看，节奏真的有够烂。 本想着会有点不一样的惊喜，结果越到最后越烂。 肉搏戏也一股花拳绣腿味儿。
emm,想说的确陌生的男人大多在我的记忆里面都长得一样。连环生那段有点意思
在漫威宇宙的成功或许让大家拔高了对罗素兄弟的期待，离开漫威后他们执导的几部电影口碑都塌了，本片似乎也只是在复制去年《红色通缉令》的模式化套路，尽管影片秉承着三分一小炸，五分一大炸的节奏，全程让影片处于高速运转之中，但回顾全片是否有一个让你记忆深刻的场面？我想我们要的不仅仅是这些。
一部性别主题的心理惊悚片，它试图揭示几代男性的性格缺陷，这些缺陷导致他们继续折磨和诱捕女性，一直追溯到亚当和夏娃的原罪。有些情节场景过于隐晦和突兀，但不管人们对它有何看法，导演都以一种令人不安和视听创新的方式讲述他的故事，这种方式如此独特，其想法值得讨论。
两大男神同框，美队竟然被压一头哈哈哈，高斯林实在是太帅了，调侃零零七那里我真的笑死了哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
3.5，很流畅的商业片，这样的小高且看且珍惜
不能说百分百看懂，但作为性别女代入感非常强，分叉手和连环生子很有意思，对女性身体、道德、子宫的钳制，不确定女主遇到的男人们代表不同阶段的前夫，还是只是嘲讽男人们都是一个样，最后怀孕的闺蜜现身，将性别和人的矛盾拉至最高
美队cue到ken doll时真的很难不笑……但你们这个卡司和经费拍点什么不好呢，竟然还要拍第二部，赶紧换个编剧吧。
虽然豆瓣里面一群装逼犯说模仿007和谍影重重的，但是这确实是这两年比较亮眼诚意满满的动作片了，无论是喜欢美队，高司令还是无暇赴死里面的古巴妹，里面都有亮眼的表现。有老牌（老套）动作片的味道，值得四星。
这个才是真正的女权电影了，那段giving birth和面具crow，绝了！！！Garland太顶了，森林里的镜头美如画...

3.3分。 意象大于叙事，氛围大于情绪，这部女性主义题材惊悚片依然保持着嘉兰之前两部电影的特点，只不过比起《机械姬》和《湮灭》，它的隐喻和命题感更强了，而对于故事结构的建立更为脆弱。 所以影片在前半部分的铺排很是引人入胜，古朴典雅的乡间别墅，蓊蓊郁郁的茂密森林，都极为曼妙的表现出生命力的旺盛和地理性的保守之间的反差。期间插入的极端闪回画面，如同不安的琴弦，拨弄着我们观影时的不安。 不过到了后半段，随着女主角逐渐发现这诡异的现象，“男人们”展开对女主角的攻击和侵犯，那种不安感化作为纯粹的惊悚展示，尽管“男生男”的套娃过程略显创意，但影片本质上没有架构好自成一体的影像空间和叙事空间，多处的留白更是让影片像是一部问题电影。
电影是想告诉我们所有男人都是一个样子的？满脑子里都是x？只有让他们反复体会女性的生育之苦才能将他们蜕变？看了电影我没有答案，因为我根本也没有提问，因为我根本不能解决他人的问题，也不能改变他人的想法，就像在隧道里的回响，重复，单调，渗人，又有点美感，周而复始。大自然之美，星空之浩瀚，人类之渺小，至于人类的那些争执与矛盾，困惑与愚钝，自私与狭隘，更加渺小，微不足道。
女性困境＋惊悚片 百搭 沉浸式恐惧 用妮可基德曼的话说就是 because here, they are 中文片名偏颇了 每次精彩预告结束屏幕上出现硕大MEN三个字母的时候都会全场爆笑 叫“人”可远没这效果
再一次感叹美丽国电影的工业化水准穿越机的拍摄方式更是走在前列所有的设备工具都是为了给影片添彩完成故事叙述而不是满足于一项炫技手法的成功运用之后的沾沾自喜
这次的男性凝视直接变成裸男凝视 要了老命 无限生的男性也只是意象符号罢了 绿色是真的美 也是真的诡
