dragonlgnd 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2008 So it came in the mail from Net Flix a few days ago, but only finally got to watch it yesterday morning, and it was well worth the wait. I'm talking about Terry Pratchets Hogfather movie. It was originally done as a TV movie on the BBC, so it's a 2 parter , about 2-3 hours long. It follows the book extremely well , with maybe only 1-2 scenes taken out and a few shortened. The actors did a great job portraying their characters, though there were a couple that didn't fit their descriptions all that well, it was still a great adaptation for one of his books. ( Two examples, the Dean is usually described, or made fun of by the other wizards as being a "big" guy, or pretty much needing 2 chairs in order to sit down, and hopefully they will hold him. The other example is Nobby Nobbs, the actor had his mannerizmes down, the smile, the way he talked was all perfect, he was perfect for the part in every way, but I don't feel he was short enough or ugly enough. ) If you've read the book, watch the movie, just to see what it's like and see how they adapted it to screen. If you haven't read the book, well... it's still a damn good movie. If I was rating it , it would easily get an 8/10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
