Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Aryana Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

invisibleunicornninja This film, though deeply flawed was still entertaining. I had a lot of fun watching it. I haven't read the book, and as always I'd like to advise anyone planning to watch to stick around for the end credits as there are scenes in them. Plot - The plot was decent. It was coherent and well-written. There is a love story that's kinda thrown in there that I didn't really like, but other than that its pretty good. Villan - The villains are never that good in movies. The one in this movie isn't much of an exception. His only motivation seemed to be his hatred for the post office, which wasn't really explained. Though not all of his plans worked, and some of them were kind of dumb, he was an actual threat. There was actual tension throughout the story because this guy is actually prepared to kill people to get what he wants and doesn't waste time with pointless monologues. The Effects - I was laughing each time this movie attempted to use any kind of practical effects or CGI. This movie's sets are also bad - not as bad as the effects, but still. This movie clearly did not have the budget it needed. If this movie had more money to work with, I'm sure that it would've looked a lot nicer.Acting - Most of the actors were pretty good. They make their cartoonish personalities come to life. I didn't like some of the characters. but that's not at the fault of the actors. I liked that the protagonists and the villains were all relatively clever and for the most part knew what they were doing. It made the story more enjoyable. There are some bits where smart characters act infuriatingly stupid, but nowhere near as much as some others. Speed and Sound - There are a ton of scenes that are clearly sped-up. I don't know why. Most of them aren't even scenes where anything intense is happening. Its extremely awkward to see characters move around in that jerky fashion. There are also a lot of weird shots throughout the film that are incredibly cringeworthy. There are also some problems with the sound design. The voices and mouth movements didn't always match up. Overall this was a fun, somewhat clever movie with some cringeworthy humor and presentation. I had a bit of fun watching this movie, but I probably wouldn't watch it again.

Franklie This show was not at all what we expected. We're not familiar with Terry Pratchett's work and had his name mixed-up in our minds with Monty Python's Terry Gilliam, so it was VERY fun to occasionally hear a line in the movie that sounded very Python-ish.The writing was fantastically clever and witty. LOVED all the humor about the pins. We didn't realize it was a story with a message, several of them in fact, and very timely.We also didn't realize the show would be family-friendly, which was fantastic!! They didn't even refer to "crap" or "freakin" (or their synonyms) which most writers can't seem to avoid these days. Instead, we got to hear all sorts of fun exclamations and whatnot that just made us smile.There were some big plot holes in the type of message used in the race at the end of the show, but they're easy to overlook if you're into the spirit of the story. And we could have done w/o the sliminess of the banshee and the blind man bit.But we really really liked it and wish more shows would have this level of writing.

MrVanilla People talk about the phenomenon of binge TV watching. I've been binge reading all of the Discworld books, all of which are on my shelf. That makes the second or third (or at least one fourth) time through. I had only seen the terrible "Color of Magic" and the worse "Hogfather" before, so had low expectations for this.Going Postal is true to the "look and feel" of the book. Of course, it doesn't stick to the plot, word for word. Of course, many of the characters are two dimensional. But then, the movie is made from pictures and the books are made from words. And words have power. It was a joy to watch. My wife didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I did, but that was probably because I kept telling her the difference between the book and the movie. And pointing out the similarity ("Honey, did you notice the vampire photographer? That's great, he really didn't add to the movie story line, but in the Discworld series...." And we're still married.Spoiler: Viewers should be aware that the movie pays homage to old time movies in a couple of ways. One controversial way is to make the banshee into a replica of Nosferatu. I think this was a misstep, but a minor and intriguing one.

dccarles First off, I thought Going Postal was an above average Discworld novel. It flowed nicely, the character development was interesting, and of course it included Pratchett's trademark similes.This production, however, was sub-par. First, though, what they got right.The special effects were adequate. The golems looked like what you'd expect a guy wearing a hundred pounds of clay-coloured latex to look like, but the clacks towers were well done, as were the swirling letters in the post office. The sets and costumes, however, were excellent. The city streets lived and breathed, and the post office was wonderfully dark and decrepit. (Moist's Postmaster hat, I noticed, improved over time as the Post Office's fortunes improved.) The script benefited from streamlining the novel's plot somewhat. Just about everywhere the plot was changed, I could see why they did so. Much of Pratchett's wit made it into the dialogue, as well as more than a few good lines that weren't in the novel. But nothing, nay, nothing can make up for the acting. I don't blame the actors here: plainly they were directed to mug like Jim Carrey having a facial spasm. So much of what was funny in the novel was made utterly cringe-inducing by being overdone. Pratchettian humour works by understatement, by the characters taking themselves and what they do seriously. Of the characters played for comedic effect only Vetinari, as far as I could see, was played straight, and not coincidentally only he survived this massacre unscathed. It might be that the program was aimed at children, and this explains the awful, awful hamhandedness. But Pratchett is lost on apparent age level they were trying to pitch to. A terrible, terrible shame, after all the thought and effort that went into the production, that the delivery was muffed so badly.
