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.

这种流水作业的视觉爽片没啥好评价的。唯一想吐槽的是，演员被恐龙追杀时表现得太平静了。印象中“侏罗纪公园”系列中某一部因为女主尖叫太多被刻薄的媒体吐槽电影主题就是“恐龙来啦，大家快跑！”不知道这部的演员是不是受了先前评论的影响。但也太矫枉过正了。哪有被恐龙追一句尖叫都没有的，哑巴吗？
《侏罗纪公园》最差的一部，都比《侏罗纪世界》最好的一部好。看完以后，可以给《侏罗纪公园》前三部集体追封豆瓣五星了。
我看的时候代入的是好好地走在通勤路上突然就被恐龙一口吃掉的路人……
女主角变得这么弱不太开心。恐龙完全变成了蝗虫特工队的背景板也不太开心。对待恐龙打架能认真一些吗？不打分了，支持电影院。
七个扑火的少年。真是险象丛生啊，肩膀缩得累得慌。p.s. 现在这部电影的票型，它像不像在竖中指🖕️
记得回顾一下前几部再入场～是童年的圆满！记得看imax。
就那样 本系列都属于看了半天不知道看了个啥 随便了 南方巨兽龙被叉死还挺幽默的 南方巨兽龙：你叉叉
不好意思，不咋地，故事线很乱，而且很俗套，找女儿救恐龙加上环保，就这点事。
视觉效果和情怀比较加分吧。。蝗虫线莫名其妙，本以为最后蝗虫和恐龙至少还能有点关系，结果也打脸，确实没什么逻辑。。
太难看了，和我最爱的侏罗纪毫无关系，两星给儿时的cp教授。
很久没看过这么毫无担心只顾着哇哦！卧！哈哈哈哈！啊、哇哦！就够了的大人童话了，反派的作用就是目睹正面角色捣毁自己的计划、叹气、发（卖）脾（萌）气、最后被自己作出的恶果吐死；正面角色呢，被受训过的杀手恐龙攻击完美逃脱、坠机坠伞完美逃脱、被超大蝗虫攻击完美逃脱、在各种凶猛恐龙眼皮子底下相遇、排队或组队形逃脱等等等等，最后几乎是毫发无伤哈哈，所以完全不用担心他们会死，因为受伤也不会啊。但是没关系，观影感受大舒适，足够了。
不大容易让人有什么期待的爆米花电影，也只好保证含龙量管够，却还是调动了一波观影热情。经过一轮又一轮空窗，人们还会记得回电影院吗？放心，会的，只要有能看的电影，不管哪里的。
动作没得弹！干脆利落，不拖泥带水。抡起棒槌就是干。依稀想起第一部穿高跟鞋跑得比星爵更快的彪悍…
别带脑子去看可以收获超爽的两小时银幕体验，不然文戏全程智商下线，长得像库克设定像不要抬头Isherwell的反派一人在超英类别里尬演硅谷段子等等连串经不起细想的糟烂桥段都会掉价。卖情怀的营销模式从老三部主角团聚首到种种致敬复刻的镜头无不昭然若揭，生硬转折造就的生态环境保护公益镜头甚至大有电影转向幼教之嫌。即使如此，依然可以短暂投入廉价而套路的工业惊悚和感动贩卖，享受也许是最后一次聆听史前巨物怒吼的震撼。
南方巨兽龙移动那么慢根本没有压迫感，死法也是相当草率。你能想象灭霸被钢铁侠一推，然后脖子撞金刚狼爪子上插死了吗？
库克：公共厕所咩？想来就来！想走就走！
剧情属实无聊……连最后的大佬互殴也很敷衍啊！开篇，好家伙那一大蝗虫群，我以为会看到龙虫大战的，过程中一直思考会怎么呈现效果……果然纯属我想多了。打个三星…感觉都有点愧疚。
这一部的剧情闹哄哄的，人物塑造基本上都是一两笔带过，而本身应该是主角的恐龙却变成了工具龙。
系列最差的一部。叙事极为混乱且篇幅冗长，毫无节奏感，无效人物过多，杂乱无章，全片没有给出任何有记忆点的桥段。侏罗纪系列，恐龙才是真正的主角，从来都是，至少也是推动故事发展的重要元素，本作则完全沦为了背景板，大大的错误，属于是本末倒置了。
上海疫情后在电影院看的第一部电影，上一部是去年底的《爱情神话》。科幻惊悚爱情动作全家欢式好莱坞大片完结篇，库克的苹果生物合成公司里有迅猛龙霸王龙副栉龙迷惑龙沧龙镰刀龙野蛮盗龙 异特龙食肉牛龙火盗龙风神翼龙大鼻角龙双嵴龙和南方巨兽龙。致敬《地心游记》《黑暗侵袭》《碟中谍6》
