Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Christine L. Cameron I did LOVE this movie. Sure there were faults, like a tardy interpretation of the banshee, and a far less sly and sophisticated Reacher Gilt than I remembered in the books, the film had charm. It wove slightly different twists -while a few a bit far-fetched- and served them quite neatly. You can understand the necessity to narrow a few things down. Well done.However, can not endorse a film produced by a company that steals an artwork, nonetheless well recognised by the artist and the fans. As we know, artwork on the internet is unsafe, and every artists takes a risk by uploading. Suck it up and learn from it, many say. OK. But to Sky 1, who took this artwork: http://juliedillon.deviantart.com/art/Lord-Vetinari-92120272 -by Julie Dillon (an artist I've highly admired for years), and expose it in a film without so much as bloody recognition is very low. Very dishonourable. Whether or not she had it protected properly is not the concern, you saw an artwork, clearly made by an artist, on an artists' gallery website. She recognised their robbery and wrote to you, never hearing back. So Sky 1, whose work was remarkably well done. I would demand you sort it out peacefully with Julie Dillon, for your own honours sake. Until then, I sincerely hope that this lovely series has earned you as little as you deserve. I hope its popularity remains diminished until then. Link to the scene of stolen image: https://drive.google.com/open? id=0B1J6CoFCfLtwQ3RBUFdjTWZVSWcThank you - an Aesthetic protecting an Artist.

connollymeister I've just finished watching "Going Postal", yet again a live action adaptation of a Discworld book has missed the mark. 1) The whole thing looks like it's been filmed on a back lot, this is especially sad, since I'm pretty sure that they spent a lot of money on the production, but I think it looks like a school pantomime. 2) The eccentric, larger than life style of the books works in print (and I think would work in GGI) but falls completely flat in live action, unless you're willing to spend movie budget money, not TV miniseries money. For example, the city watch uniforms look comical in real life, and they ruined my suspension of disbelief. 3) The characterization of so many characters is markedly different from the book, and for no particular reason. Most egregious is Reacher Gilt, who's much more a pantomime villain, and far less the smooth talking master con man. 4) The storyline is drastically different to the book in key point, but none of the changes seem to have a practical reason, they don't add to the story or condense it for TV. 5) While major plot points are changed or omitted to the detriment of the story, incidental pieces of dialogue that add nothing to the plot are transcribed faithfully, but what reads well in print falls flat when spoken aloud. 6) Coyle, who's a perfectly capable actor, is simply much older (6-8 years) than the character of Lipwig as described in the book (~27 years old).

ithyl Those who haven't discovered Terry Pratchett's brilliantly funny novels have a treat in store. Most of them are set in an alternate universe, upon a flat world that travels through space on the shoulders of four elephants that stand on the shell of the great Atuin, a huge turtle. Despite the fact that the Discworld is so fundamentally different from our own and his characters so fantastic, you will see yourselves, the conventions and concerns of your own world, reflected in surprising, hysterically funny, and entirely entertaining ways.Going Postal is the story of a con man who, when his cons catch up to him, is faced with the choice of re-opening the derelict post office or dying a painful death. As he reluctantly takes up his post he is faced with the unintended consequences of his crimes and soon finds himself, with his engagingly unbalanced staff, committed to saving the post office, bringing Reacher Gilt, evil owner of the clacks system (rather like the internet without electricity) to justice, and winning the heart of Adora Bell Dearheart.I've seen all of the Discworld movies and mini-series and enjoyed them ... The Hogfather was great, and The Color of Magic was wonderful,(although I felt Vetenari was a bit too much a comic figure in that one), but Going Postal is nearly perfect! Though I didn't envision the patrician as ginger-haired, it made no difference because Charles Dance absolutely IS Vetinari. The rest of the cast Richard Coyle as Moist Von Lipwig, Claire Foy as Adora Belle Dearheart, David Suchet as Reacher Gilt, Andrew Sachs as Groat and Ian Bonar as Stanley, all are fantastic. Even the Golems are just as I thought they should be! Going Postal is a must-see for any Terry Pratchett fan.

doggydog2312 So one of better recent Terry Pratchett books get converted into a miniseries/3 hours movie? As a huge Pratchett fan I should be thrilled... or should I? I'll try to keep it short. Basically, they did a more or less good job of making a random Victorianoid adventure movie with light fantasy elements. They failed at making a Discworld movie.Ankh Morpork simply isn't Ankh Morpork. Not just for the lack of dwarfs and trolls. It misses nearly all the elements that make it special. It could be nearly anywhere.Acting was generally good, with some really good performances to lift everything to a higher level, and casting was generally good as well. There are exceptions to both though.The costumes? Unsure on the golems, but the vampire and the banshee are just silly.Too many liberties have been taken with the script, Pratchett's legendary humour is rarely well replicated. The movie even gets slightly shoddy at some times (obvious unpolished cuts).I'm sure that the budget wasn't brilliant and the movie has its' own merits - it's highly approachable by those who don't know anything about Discworld. But for a fan, it'll be a disappointment on more than one level.
