Movie Reviews of Hogfather
Movie Review: Classic Pratchett
Summary: 5 Stars
If Terry Pratchett is allowed creative input, the results will always be good. This film perfectly translates the book into everything I thought Discworld would look like. It also explains some parts of the book that I found puzzling. What is comes down to is explaining exactly what makes us human. No other creature on earth has a concept of justice or mercy. We believe things that have no physical existence because that's who we are. If we truly believe, the sun will come up every morning...not just a hot ball of gas.Movie Review: The Whole Family Loved It
Summary: 5 Stars
We haven't read the book yet, but my entire family loved this movie. The details of the story are a little hard to follow and the movie is long, but the humor is dark, twisted, and sweet. The themes are deep, but handled in a light way.
Since seeing the movie, my daughter has read every Pratchett book in my library and is urging me to buy more. We will be reading The Hogfather soon and rewatching the movie to see what we missed the first few times we watched it.
Movie Review: Hogfather was Spot On
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought the Movie of the Hogfather was Spot On with the book. In many cases the dialog was verbatum. They did their best to keep many of the jokes of the book, which is the whole point. The heroine was suitable upset with her role as hero, but resigned to fix the problems presented to her. The villian, Teatime was disturbing, which was also keeping with the book. I look forward to the next Terry Prachett Movie by this company, "The Light Fantastic."Movie Review: The Hogfather is "To-Die-For"
Summary: 5 Stars
To have read any Terry Pratchett creation is to love it. This amazing New Yule Season Classic will be a yearly event (at least) for our family. The film has done a spectacular job of interpretting the genius that is Terry Pratchett... specifically relating to The Discworld. I'm excited to see more translated into film.
Get "Hogfather", gather your pork pies and other seasonal treats, sit back and prepare to laugh, cringe, gasp and sigh.
Movie Review: all you could ask for
Summary: 5 Stars
Who would have thought that the Halmis (the dudes that brought us the priceless 10th Kingdom) and Terry Pratchett would fit each other like a skeletal hand in a red-velvet glove? Oh, but they do. Captures all the great wit and weirdness of the book (with so much of the dialogue in tact), while faithfully filling out the world and the characters of Discworld and this fantastic tale. I watched it all in one sitting. To become a holiday tradition.
