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.

这就是成人动画吗？哈哈哈哈哈哈太血腥了，还有露jj，笑死！哈姐太6了~鲨鱼太可爱惹！本来就憨憨的，说起话来更憨了，跑起来更是憨憨度MAX!!!啊哈哈哈哈哈哈哈“新的傻朋友”笑死哈哈哈哈哈哈
剧情真的有点无聊了，感觉人物形象单薄，远比不过第一部每个人物亦正亦邪的魅力。
詹姆斯古恩再次致敬自己是与张艺谋齐名的撞色大师。美国在别国秘密研制生物武器造成大规模感染的梗最近也听太多次了（雾
剧情真相了丑国的伪民主和帅锅技能，有丑化穷国家的嫌疑🚬小丑女的戏份都美的挺有氛围的，童话杀戮的美感。ps花枝鼠很可爱噢。
事实证明类型片想要拍得好看就要鬼扯无厘头，笑不活了。
一切都很好，只是结尾满溢着的漫威式温情脉脉与童心未泯，宣告了这只是又一次不彻底的反英雄反类型革命而已
太长了。鲨鲨怎么还是这么dump，喜欢小丑女的白皮和dotsman。
感觉DC也挺想让超人、蝙蝠侠他们去给别人胸口炸个洞肠子打个结的，奈何这偶像包袱放不下来，所以就用这么一批gai溜子英雄，又接地气又充满笑点还没有道德负担。这部大家的性格比较自然，不像第一部一帮坏蛋突然就去干好事了实在突兀，这个片子最后也没定性他们到底干的算不算好事，这漂亮国干的事情还能说得清了？
带感，有趣，各种反套路，时不时来点新鲜刺激，最后扎那么一下非常好看
上映周数：10周
I was happy,floating,staring at the stars.也许比不上《银翼杀手》那般壮阔，但依旧浪漫。如果DC每一部都是这样的水准，超过漫威仅仅是时间问题。披着商业片的表皮，藏着热血温暖和浪漫，这绝不是热评所说的屎尿屁，而是把每个角色丰富的属性都表达出来了，而哈莉奎因的加入，是这部片子锦上添花的一抹红色。
滚导是暴虐的人，他享受极度纯真美好之后，突然转戾，死亡和攻击突如其来。整个电影，就这样不断切换，甚至同时出现，欢天喜地兴高采烈的时候头颅飞掉了一半，笑容和脑浆血丝放在一起。他处理的真好，观众可以接受，他有了拍大片的权力，玩着自己的趣味。这是什么？这是【心理猎人】里，把养了很久的小鸟，突然扔到吊扇里绞死的突兀，是性情的断裂。这应该是滚导小时候的经历，所以，他成了有这种爱好的家伙，喜欢这种趣味。他没有价值观，他三板斧是血肉黏连、一本正经做蠢事和放音乐。这是没有长大的小朋友。这些艺术家，都是这样的。没有价值观是对的，如同小海星的洗脑，集体主义和自由人权，也许都一样，这世界如此复杂和快速变化，各种价值观似乎都有道理，但又相互矛盾，认清现实太痛苦，都做胡闹的小孩吧。
一部挺不错的黑色幽默反英雄电影，R级的设定也透露出了很多滚导的重口味恶趣味，漫画式的突如其来爆头、断腿镜头，小鲨鱼徒手“撕鬼子”式的杀敌……一度可能让部分观众不适，但也收放有度，哈利监狱逃脱一段就通过写意绽放的花瓣代替血浆配上唯美似舞蹈般的砍瓜切菜，把这段本会有些暴力的场景变得爽快之余又有些“小丑女”独有的浪漫！当然抛开上述地东西，DC怎么能少了对于主角成长和统治阶级的探讨讽刺呢？这也是DC区别于大部分漫威作品的特色，当然由于每个导演的世界观和风格不同，本片也自然不会像扎导的DC作品那样一黑到底充满的绝望的暗黑气息，本片最后主角们还是留有一丝博弈的希望！整部电影的配乐也很赞跟每个场景和人物配合的相得益彰，片头登陆一段还有意致敬了《死侍2》里的“X特遣队”各种拽不过三分钟就挂……年度必看电影
好看，惊喜，爽！这才一部喜闻乐见的爆米花电影应该有的样子。特别为小丑女的鲜花血浆和波点男的妈妈情节点赞。
总体风格像是昆汀+埃德加赖特；“no one likes showing-off, unless it’s fucking dope”，冲着cult片的路数拍放得很开，似乎又有点太放飞自我了，色彩搭配和音乐倒是有滚导自己的风格；总算get到自杀小队的内核，人物塑造应该是系列最佳，在紧凑的篇幅里把十八线角色塑造出来不容易，哈莉走出小丑的阴影真好；哈莉那一段长廊动作戏味儿太对了；如果每隔两年能听到“It's suicide.”“That’s kind of our thing”挺好的，可惜少校不在了
比第一部好看太多了，主要是主要角色们的动机和性格给的很坚定，让观众们知道这些bad guy到底是坏在哪里，然后他们人性的闪光点跟这些“坏点”并不冲突，这样最后决定拯救城市成为“英雄”的行为才不会有违和感。开篇15分钟精彩极了，导演坏冒了烟儿了简直，有种《林中小屋》的残忍和强烈的黑色幽默。后面算是中规中矩，并没有掉太多，整体来看全片水准划一。
这帮家伙是真的不靠谱，恶人外加黄鼬和鲨鱼，各路奇葩上了一条船，一不小心就全军覆没了，却又能在关键时刻起死回生，老鼠干翻大海星的结局又是多么让人汹涌澎湃，全程劲爆不失浪漫，小丑女逃脱绽放出了迷人的花朵，连字幕都花费了不少心思。
一边起鸡皮疙瘩 一边又煽情落泪 又恶心又唯美
哈莉杀我！这才是哈莉该有的样子！DC出息了，BGM怎么这么好听，结果一看导演，金曲合集yyds！没有困难的任务，只有饥饿的鲨鲨！
