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.

拍得太松散了，剧情走马观花，角色动机莫名其妙。我为什么总是这样在漫威电影上一次又一次不吸取教训：明明知道漫威和我八字不合，还非要屁颠屁颠看，看完再次陷入又一次被当傻子观众的懊恼里。赵婷不适合拍商业片。整部电影除了特效，没啥可看的。漫威的角色总是那么一如既往的低幼。
漫威做这个选题无可厚非，但大可不必找艺术片导演做，定位很尴尬，哪一拨观众都不会喜欢
但最后的强行结尾和剧情俗套就拉低了整体效果。
还有，这里面反派也没什么意思，当卧底都没什么深度，最后的打斗就过家家一样，别说和复仇者联盟了，就算是单人英雄电影都差得远。没什么意思，预计续集也不会有什么意思
是好看的电影，讲人性的部分动人却有点用力过猛，到最后每个人都在哭哭哭，儿女情长有点太卖力了，前面的各个时代人类文明的场景很艳丽，然而也有种浓浓的塑料感，像是打开了刺客信条。不过还是好看热闹，看完一点不觉得长，很棒。 it ended when you said ‘ goodbye ‘
当jon snow说“I love you， Sersi”，我凌乱了😂... 讲真没有评风那么差，剪辑略不流畅，女主一共三个表情轮换着用；但是好在角色多又个性鲜明，还挺有记忆点的
从第一支预告所显露出来的美术、色调就开始有着导演前作《无依之地》的延续感，这种清冷、悲伤、苍茫的赵婷质感倘若搭配上「永恒族」这一跨越千年的种族宿命会是首多么美妙的诗歌啊。可惜的是，这种文艺范十足的劲头在漫威宇宙里被拉扯消磨，直至耗尽。这就导致《永恒族》没有《雷神》、《银河护卫队》那么狂欢，也没有《美队2》那么类型到极致，更没有《妇联》的磅礴，不在风格和技巧上走向极致的漫威电影注定会泯然在漫威的流水线工厂里。
其实质量上算是一部完整的漫威式的电影，特效很酷，打斗不敷衍，演员演技也及格了，但是各方面都有一定的问题，最后一句话总结：拯救地球还得靠女人。
电影给三星，多一星给赵婷，越是不Marvel我越喜欢！前半段比较拖，花了很多时间交代故事背景，把十个神介绍给观众，不说饱满但也不单薄，各有各自的特点，我觉得这群戏可比复联拍得好多了。没有终极大反派，就是一群神在探讨是应该守护人类还是牺牲人类以成全宇宙的延续，后半段的反转还是挺惊人的，我被吓一跳。人类文明的起源从古巴比伦到玛雅文化，发展到在广岛投原子弹，到现代又加入了很多宝莱坞的元素，最后还有把孙悟空抓走的五指山和如佛祖一般的超级神，很难想象有欧美导演会这么拍，赵婷的内核还是中国的。想要探讨深刻的内容，但是台词有时候直白了点，讲出来显得尬。电影处处体现着diversity和inclusion，看到这样一群天神下凡舒适感满格。摄影很不错的，气势恢弘，画面很赵婷。
不太行。但并不是因为那个原因的不行。而是有点当年李安那个版本的绿巨人的感觉。
有种融入了历史的厚重感，
漫威自以为拍了一部DC电影，实际上片子比DC更漫威。
一则脑洞版的地球文明发展简史，包含很多对人和造物主的探讨。永恒族的身上仿佛也看到了多元化人类文明的缩影，最后融为一体为同一个目标战斗，我们似乎也需要更加包容的对待这个世界。只有战争才能带来人类文明和科技的飞速发展，而科技又有可能随时毁灭人类文明，矛盾而统一是宇宙永恒的主题，最终的答案人类和造物主仿佛都有着自己的判断。我相信自然规律的存在一定有它的道理，电影带给观众的启发和思考是有的，但似乎还差着那么一口气…三星半。
片子不烂，但编剧太懒了，剧情都是大顺拐。另外，影片借鉴其他作品也太多了，尤其是日漫。
活了几千年，对待“星球毁灭”像是大学生答辩。Richard Madden is hot!从没想过他会成为某部剧的演技代表
十个角色，如此多的信息量（跟尚气一样回忆补充），两个半小时的压力还是太大，做成剧慢慢讲也许会好点。（设定真的没跟叉男重吗？）
啥b导演拍出来的啥b片子，纯纯的白左政治片。想搞政治正确滚出去啊
永恒族不应该那么低分啊，从观影上看是少有的文艺派风格。世界观横跨得有点远，导致很多历史事件简单带过，但仍符合永恒族每个人的能力反思（最为明显就是心灵控制和科技者那两位）。漫威始终是商业片，不能用文艺片纪录片的规格去审判它
非常适合在科技馆里当公教片 / 雪诺说“瑟曦我爱你” 时笑得好大声.. / 真相能让他们自由 落点很DC
一部注定审美隔离两极分化的作品。对于永生题材爱好者的我而言，片中对文明与人类群像的描写可谓是戳中G点，能在两个半小时内讲清楚一个超英群像剧，还不缺镜头的磅礴与漫威式插科打诨的诙谐，无法想象这是《无1之地》的导演手下的作品，应该说是整个电影工业的威力。一众从权力的游戏/行尸走肉里过来的演员，配上拉民贾瓦迪的音乐，仿佛在电影院里看了一出串戏美剧。罗柏史塔克和囧雪诺一口一个“瑟曦我爱你”，还是有点超现实了。
