Not because it wasn't faithful to the books, because it was, and not because they missed bits out from the book, because they didn't really miss anything important. This is a nice wacky world and I would like to like the characters more.I saw it, and while I hate to say it, I was a little dissapointed. She's very one dimensional and I would like her to be more. In addition, I'm uncertain about Adora Belle's character. There has to be a more compelling reason for a scheming, selfish conman to selflessly deliver the first letter. There was no real reason for him to deliver it. His first letter is a missed opportunity. Lipwig is too dumb at times, and too mean-spirited for too long. I'm not terribly in love with these characters. It's a wonder visually considering it's a TV show. It's a wild, imaginative adaptation of this weird fantasy world. He finds Adora Belle Dearheart (Claire Foy) in mourning after her brother John Dearheart was killed on top of one of the Clacks towers. Lipwig tries to modify Pump and goes to the Golem Trust. Their opposition is the Clacks which compost of countless light towers relaying messages run by the ruthless Reacher Gilt. Groat and Stanley are the only two junior postmen. Pump, a golem, is used as his unceasing guardian and parole officer. Vetinari lets him off to head the defunct post office. He gets caught and Lord Vetinari (Charles Dance) hangs him to an inch of his life. Moist Von Lipwig (Richard Coyle) is a petty con man. More importantly, the post office is a crumbling mess. In Ankh-Morpork, there are vampires and werewolves. Reviewed by SnoopyStyle 6 / 10 weird visual world
Charles Dance, Richard Coyle and Steve Pemberton turn in great performances, and Claire Foy is also appealing and David Suchet is an interesting Gilt.Īll in all, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and while I liked all three Sky/Pratchett adaptations this one was the best. The photography does very well to capture these lovely visuals, while the music is very good and the direction credible enough. The costumes are colourful and beautiful, and the sets and scenery are also stunning and the effects in general are above average though I wasn't crazy about the Banshee.
Of all the Sky/Pratchett adaptations it is the best paced overall, while the story even with the changes is compelling and the writing is playful and witty on the whole. Going Postal could have easily had those problems but it didn't really. Not that the other two were bad in those categories, but they did have characters that weren't explored as well as they could have been or there were moments of sluggish pacing or forced dialogue. I did like Hogfather and Colour of Magic too, but what made me like Going Postal best of all was that it was more solid in especially the story, pacing and acting departments.
