Movie Reviews of The Hogfather
Movie Review: Our new holiday favorite!
Summary: 5 Stars
We all really enjoyed "Hogfather". I haven't read the book, so I didn't miss what wasn't in the movie. Very funny stuff and great characters!Movie Review: A Fairytale for Adults
Summary: 5 Stars
We saw a "preview" for this at the beginning of another movie, and I immediately went online and purchased a copy of it. I have not read more than a couple of the Pratchett Discworld books, but thoroughly enjoyed them, and they are on the list for more reading as time allows. We both also enjoyed the Gaiman/Pratchett endeavor Good Omens.
So, once I was made aware of this, it was a "how soon can I get it?" sort of thing. The movie arrived very quickly, unfortunately, the length of the movie meant that it was a few weeks before we could sit down and enjoy it, which we just did on Sunday.
COOL!!!
I found that the little I had read of Discworld was more than sufficient, and my partner has not read any of them, and he had no questions about it. Pratchett writes firmly in fantasy, with a heavy dose of mythology, and it all seemed perfectly normal to us (as much as fantasy is normal). I very much enjoyed the strong female protagonist, she was crucial, but didn't beat you over the head with her sword. There is also a neat interview with Pratchett in the extras - a fascinating glimpse into his mind.
Watch, enjoy, and know the fantastic joy that comes with awareness of Pratchett's world.
Movie Review: Even better than you would have guessed
Summary: 5 Stars
I will start by saying I am a HUGE T. Pratchett fan. I am a science teacher who has to keep trying to describe his body of work to friends. They always get this glazed look when I start to describe a "Discworld" on the back of 4 Elephants, on the back of a Turtle.... Well, if you are a fan you probably know my pain. The team who made this movie are also, obviously, fans. The attention to detail, the unapologetic celebration of T.P.'s wit, and some of the visuals are awsome. I probably should have given this product 4 stars because I understand how the non fan may not get details (like HEX) that I did, but I give it the 5th star because is ever my friends are at home when I am trying to explain discworld, now I have the ultimate visual.Movie Review: Happiness

I love the book that this is based on, and I love how they stayed true to the book. Usually you don't find that with movies, but this was very good. Perhaps a bit long, but it couldn't have been any other way. I recommend it for any Pratchett fan. And for any who aren't, maybe you'll become one by seeing this.Movie Review: Discworld Finally Comes to Life!
Summary: 4 Stars
This was an outstanding adaptation of "Hogfather," and I hope the first of many, many more such movies. The late Ian Richardson was wonderful as the voice of DEATH, and will be sorely missed. A must for any fans of Terry Pratchett.
