Set to broadcast in two one-hour films, this family treat is inspired by the classic books of Barbara Euphan Todd and is pegged to be the TV event of the season. Mackenzie Crook has taken Scatterbrook farm and the infamous characters of this well-loved tale and injected them with a tender and authentic charm. This is the perfect family adventure, packed with a fun, mischievous spirit and delivered with an environmental message.
Mackenzie Crook, (Pirates Of The Caribbean, Detectorists) who has written, directed and stars as Worzel Gummidge, has gathered a host of both accomplished and brilliant actors who are set to appear in this eagerly anticipated adaptation.
Playing The Green Man, creator of the scarecrows, who arrives to Scatterbrook in episode two, is comedy legend Sir Michael Palin. He says: “It’s a lovely part for me, but the whole script is very memorable and touching, and very funny too. It quite skillfully weaves in something for everybody all the time.”
Zoë Wanamaker (My Family, Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone) will play the eccentric local aristocrat, Lady Bloomsbury Barton in episode two. She says: “The whole thing is so charming and inventive. It’s the sort of thing I’d watch. I’m sure it will be a huge success. I know it will - it’s divine.”
Vicki Pepperdine (Getting On, The Windsors) takes on the role of the formidable Aunt Sally in episode one. She says: “There’s something for everybody. It’s got this heart to it, and you’d be hard pushed as an adult not to engage with it.”
Steve Pemberton (League Of Gentleman, Benidorm) will play Mr Braithwaite, the farmer. He says: “This is the kind of show the whole family can enjoy together. It has a lot of humour, a lot of visual humour too, and I think kids will enjoy watching the children being central to the story.”
Rosie Cavaliero (Gentleman Jack, Cleaning Up) will play Mrs Braithwaite, she added: “It’s a story about the imagination, and children escaping into this different world. Mackenzie’s version is totally contemporary.”
Ones to watch India Brown (Hetty Feather) and Thierry Wickens (making his TV debut) will play Susan and John, two city children spending their summer at Scatterbrook farm who quickly befriend Worzel and begin a summer of adventures.
The first episode, The Scarecrow Of Scatterbrook, sees two young strangers arrive in the village of Scatterbrook. It’s not long before Susan and John encounter Worzel Gummidge, the Scarecrow of Ten Acre Field. Their world is sent spinning into confusion when they realise Gummidge comes to life. The only person more shocked is Worzel, when he discovers that the children are not in fact fellow scarecrows but humans.
Their worlds should never commune but fate has conspired to create an extraordinary union. The seasons have stopped and the harvest hasn’t arrived. The rhythm of the natural world is out of kilter and this unlikely trio must try to put it right. Magic, mystery and mayhem unfurl.
The second episode, The Green Man, welcomes another mysterious arrival to Scatterbrook. The Green Man is the creator of scarecrows and keeper of scarecrow lore. He isn’t at all happy that Worzel is consorting with humans. Elsewhere, local aristocrat Lady Bloomsbury Barton is holding a fete, with a Scarecrow competition that Worzel is determined to win. What will The Green Man and Worzel's most competitive rival, Soggy Bogart make of it all?
Worzel Gummidge is written and directed by Mackenzie Crook and is a Leopard Pictures, Treasure Trove Productions and Lola Entertainment production for BBC One. It is Executive Produced by Kristian Smith for Leopard Pictures, Lisa Thomas for Lola Entertainment, Mackenzie Crook for Treasure Trove Productions, with rights holders Patrick D. Pidgeon and Eric S. Rollman executive producers for Pidgeon Entertainment, Inc. It is produced by Georgie Fallon and Alex Moody is the Commissioning Editor for the BBC.

盲猜这部片在六分左右，少有的不看评分就去了电影院，实在是太久没去看电影了，现在已经连战争尚未结束的基辅电影院都开门了，我去的电影院还因为就未开放而蚊子多的不得了。两周前因为带星而没看上蝙蝠侠，又因场次不对而没看神奇动物邓布利多，最后就选了这部片，虽然看过导演的很多片，但其实我都不怎么喜欢，这部片在家我可能都不会下载来看。整体而言剧本没怎么用心，摄影晃得头晕，就跟变形金刚差不多。
PS.结尾虽然“价值观正确”，但很恶心。陌生人是人，你兄弟就不是人？
1、是个爽片，还算比较紧张，直升飞机桥下追捕、自制机关枪战车与警方对干 都还不错。 2、黑人退伍军人与家人视频通话的桥段有点打动我了。 缺点：道路上的时间太长了一些。 视频通话指导外科手术的桥段有点扯。
有这样的弟弟真是到了八辈子血霉，当了婊子又立牌坊，既想捞钱救儿子的命，又想不杀人还坑死了弟弟，最扯淡的是最后反倒成了救人的英雄了，我佩服。。。
大量的手持+无人机拍摄让整个片子的紧张刺激感扑面而来。爆炸贝不失功力，对动作场面有很强的个人特色，这个翻拍是超过原版的。
非常纯粹的追车类犯罪动作电影，虽然没有大的惊喜，总体完成度还是不错的。人物弧光也完成得挺好。近年来好莱坞这种“单纯”的作品已经变得越来越难得了，总是要夹带些乱七八糟的东西。
在影院看，眼花缭乱，花活不断，航拍如入臻境，很多镜头是用穿越机拍出来的，影院体验真的拉满。上乘的好莱坞爆米花大作，商业需要的它都有，尤其爆炸，那可是迈克尔·贝的绝活。p.s.老吉帅炸！！
卖拷贝还是一如既往地钟爱洛杉矶啊，挺流畅的没有那么不堪，比鬼影特攻好太多
抛开政治正确，这么一个看似老套的故事没想到能拍的这么精彩，爆炸贝还是有点东西的。煽情的桥段居然看出点日剧味……另外还是心疼下吉伦哈尔
略长。有一句被说烂的话用在这片可能合适“不知他人苦莫劝他人善。”但需要加个后半句，遵纪守法很重要。
速度与激情——救护车版！
前一个小时还有些许新鲜感，还以为卖拷贝要拍群像戏，一时竟有些好感，但是后一个多小时炫技式的镜头重复，追车片段冗长无趣，剧情悬念刻意而缺少逻辑，就又回归到导演的传统范式之中了。
翻拍自丹麦同名电影，黑白两兄弟制造了洛杉矶银行大劫案，劫持一辆救护车和里边的人质展开逃亡，与全城警察对峙。无论是大量推拉镜头还是浮夸的打光，都是熟悉的爆炸贝味道。枪战追车的传统艺能虽强，可因为叙事能力差，导致观众是视觉疲劳的。他电影的文戏，包括《石破天惊》和《变形金刚》，都有种不能触达细节的MV式的叙事廉价感。打劫银行我以为能有多重设计反转，没想到就是杀出去而已，极度简单粗暴，所以也不用期待他靠这一部能重回巅峰了。倒是吉伦哈尔出现在这部电影里让我吃惊，他饰演的这个人物很有特点，表演上是降维打击的，就觉得有点浪费了。
贝哥带我们亲历了5次抉择 都没有让人失望 了不起
很一般了，故事真的是不好看，只能说是救护车速度与激情的一天了
一元店里能买到的生死时速+城中大盗+弗洛伊德案+爆炸贝招牌式垃圾配乐和加州阳光的五合一赔钱货，爆炸贝是真的很喜欢LA风美女了，爆炸贝滚出我电脑
稍微有点冗长，浮夸的镜头设计很难使人保持两个小时的关注度，一些设计还是有点意思的，比如警察帮助修车，不合时宜的约会邀约，被迫要救警察等。但整体人物略显单薄，结局兄弟落网并没有给人以震撼，导演可能为了极致的类型就舍弃掉了一些东西，吉伦哈尔的角色看起来也没有太聪明的样子，前史感觉稍稍有点费。另外吐槽的是音乐的使用太差劲了
迈克尔·贝的这部电影，感觉是为了迎合中国市场而拍摄的。
一个月没出门两个月没进电影院了，五一找个现在外面正在上映的电影看就当过节了唉。豆瓣这分数有点离谱，现在引进的美国电影本来就越来越少，再往低里打分以后真的只能看国产片了_(:з」∠)_就是非常标准的好莱坞式爆米花片，开头的铺垫（有丢丢穿越去迫在眉梢）有点长导致整部片子的时长就被拉长了，而且镜头太晃看得好晕，上了救护车之后舒服很多而且看得很爽，黑白双煞+美女把警察耍的团团转hhh当然救护车上做手术这段确实太扯orz最后的结局还是蛮满意的，一扫之前压抑的气氛，满满正能量，多么感人的社会主义兄弟情（不是）。Jake男神真的太帅了！PS最后片名Ambulance里套LA让我明白了故事为什么要发生在LA（不是）。
哈哈，花里胡哨的镜头还挺爽的，感觉比变形金刚要有趣。
