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.

打斗完全没有新意，只是在不断重复自己，曾经是超前的思想实验和特效的标杆代表，如今就是狗尾续貂，旧瓶装新酒，又把第一部的模式照搬了一遍，彻底落入了俗套，也许这种系列电影总要被毁掉，而且只能由导演自己亲手毁掉。自嘲还是很不错的，但如今的好莱坞缺乏过硬的原创剧本是硬伤。说实话论有趣程度还不如《Freeguy》。
一部残忍到亲手撕破三部曲所编织的的希望的续作，将现实的困境赤裸裸直观展现到镜头面前，其中不乏打破第四面墙的导演吐槽，竟在某种程度上奇妙地契合了矩阵的框架，许多地方也表达了在这20年间导演不断变化的思想，在反映当今的同时又扩展了主题。但到了执行层面，却又显得畏手畏脚，既想突破三部曲的内核，又固守三部曲的辉煌，于是就丧失了三部曲的内敛与逼格，最终只有借助演员与时间的力量，将情感与高潮定格在他们的重逢与衰老的容貌上，在导演完全自知却无力回天的情况下，把续作变为了一部包裹在黑客帝国外壳下的导演自我致敬前作的好莱坞流水线式动作片。
感觉从科幻片变成言情剧，但情怀还是值得加一星吧。
主动摆烂可还行，被各种自嘲逗乐了。只能说到哪都一样，老板下场外行指导内行干涉创作真的很要命。
剧情、设定有一些我很喜欢的点，但整体观感太一般了，动作戏过于无聊，开头结尾都乏善可陈
（1.0/10）一星的续集电影，五星的后现代行为艺术，观看过程欢快得飞起。华纳居然会把这片放出来没有大规模重拍也是迷惑。拉娜带着一队主创时时刻刻把“我们不想拍，但是我们做不了主啊”挂在脸上。当初是谁推动着立项来着。这片的鉴赏电影工作者是做不了了，交给文化研究人士吧。
炒冷饭不是个好习惯。偶尔将就一下可以，当正餐就算了。开头那些枪法是什么意思？这么近都打不着，故意的吗？
好拉啊...怎么能做到20年前拍的好像今天拍的，而今天拍的好像20年前拍的...
基努里维斯的演技在坞内可以和星爵争倒数第一的水平，想想还是他第一吧，50岁的老花瓶也是独此一家了，怎么能这么烂啊蹩脚的路人
不過前提一定要先看過駭客任務，才能明白復活了什麼！
《黑客帝国》这个系列原本的亮点就在于概念而非故事，所以无论怎么处理，续集都会产生无可避免的审美疲劳。于是Lana Wachowski就通过这部作品，向观众传达了以下几个重要的信息：①这是华纳兄弟公司逼我拍的，我也没办法；②这也是新三部曲的开篇，你们要忍一忍；③我的报复办法，就是让华纳出钱拍一部在指名道姓骂它的电影；④我已尽力把不情不愿且毫无必要的节外生枝，变成了一种实打实的行为艺术。
【有彩蛋】因为这个电影学习到了一个新词：gobbledygook，就是拍得太样板了搞到有点四不像的感觉，灵感、创意都是重复的，虽然不说有多烂俗但亮点确实是乏善可陈。更喜欢Neo和Trinity的一开始互不认识的相遇，后来就有点为了强行凑合他们的意思。更不要提令人dizzy的动作戏了。而且，由于距离前三部实在过于遥远，提及以前剧情的时候，如果事先不看前三部。那可是相当无聊的文戏；不过优点还是有的，比如说自行对甲方的官方吐槽，以及新版的Morpheus的服装搭配也很亮眼，视觉特效对比20多年前观感相对流畅多了。不温不火，但作为相对完整的三部曲，《矩阵重启》的出现有点多余。“多亏”了漫威，现在好莱坞时不时都要搞个宇宙来玩一下。 / 2022.1.18 SFC上影美罗城
这确定不是为了让《超感八人》的演员在大荧幕上露脸而拍的同人？
时代变了，市场不景气了，我相信你能理解为什么我们心爱的母公司华纳兄弟，要决定制作三部曲的续集了吧，他们告诉我，不管有没有我们，他们都会做续集，如果我们不合作，他们会终止我们的合同。（导演值得一星，基努值得一星，其它没有值得一星的了）
其实我不觉得有很差啊！虚拟中的虚拟，机器的倒戈，人类社会重建这些设定都蛮有意思。另外佛洛依德的学生们会很高兴看到镜像的作用被进一步巩固了，而脱口秀的段子手们应该仔细读读剧本，这种充满骄傲的自嘲式狂喷，不比那些烂大街的梗舒服多了？黑客/电影已死，期待Catrix！
比《星战7》更蹩脚的重启，充其量也就是个网大的体量，浮夸的自我吐槽把系列的史诗感透支掉，所要探讨的哲学内核充其量也只能算是势力内卷。当年John wick会致敬matrix台词，如今matrix需要致敬john wick，我真的不想看到基努里维斯继续消耗这点个人IP了，不要拍三部曲了，球球了。
被逼着自我致敬和自我毁灭，也是一种无奈！爱～唉～哀！
满满的感动，满满的惊喜，这才是电影该有的样子！
如果没记错，第一次用快进的方式“膜拜”一个曾经辉煌无比的大IP的重启。剧本的拙劣难以下咽，它就像一只黑带十段的瞌睡虫，屡屡在你强打精神的时候，就往你眼皮上狠狠地扎一道。很难想象，一个如今年届六十曾几何时叱咤矩阵的育龄男，可以跟一群九零后后程序狗围炉讨论如何写一个新游戏这么中二。除了屡屡消费前三作的所谓经典时刻和堆积所谓致敬彩蛋，故事不出彩、剪辑很差劲、动作不凌厉，可谓一无是处。沃卓斯基姐姐，您老这是怎么了？
我这是何苦哇！我这是何苦！从头到尾情节不知所云，就为了看主角恋爱脑上头不停地玩“你是风儿我是沙缠缠绵绵到天涯”吗？打戏一开始还应付一下，最后连应付也没了，直接手挡子弹，最后河濑直美式大逆光特写，真是不知道该心疼已经打不动的主角还是该心疼我
