5 out of 5 stars Wonderful adaptation of the book....   September 15, 2008
I really enjoyed the movie; it's a great adaptation of the book. To be honest, I found the book a little confusing at points, as there are many characters and the timing of events seemed odd. The movie actually clarified the story for me, and I thought the Michelle Dockery did a fine job as Susan. It's three hours long, but it's a very fun three hours.


4 out of 5 stars Good but inconsistent   September 12, 2008
I liked the book so I bought the movie.
The pacing was to slow and the villian too feminine. This could have been a much better movie in half the time. They also left out some of the best jokes.
Why have a narrator for just the beginning?
The guy that looked like Clint Eastwood was great till he did his line.
I think Pratchett should write screenplays if he wants to make movies, rather then butcher his truely amazing books into subpar films, or go with someone like disney who could truely realize his vison.



5 out of 5 stars From The Pen Of Pratchett...   September 6, 2008
HOGFATHER was and is a really delightful entry into the fantasy film genre. Witty, clever, with great characters and an engrossing plot line, this film is a must have for those decrying the state of fantasy films today.
I had bought this as a gift for a friend, but had to screen it first and I was both surprised and delighted by the work.
Read rge book, watch the film, I think that you will agree.




4 out of 5 stars Very entertaining.   August 28, 2008
I love the Discworld series of books. I haven't really sampled much of the media available beyond the books though. While i would have cast this differently and taken a different approach with the development of some of the characters, I did find it quite entertaining.


2 out of 5 stars Would have been great.. IF   August 13, 2008
