He wasn't too frightening, or campy, just in between.Christopher Lee was great as Death, great lines.("that's when they'll be taking my mask off" and "I think I've had another near-Rincewind experience")The script had its downsides but was overall very funny. Tim Curry was an inspired choice for Trymon, and he did a superb job, showing off his versatility, bringing back fond memories of his performances in films like Legend, the Three Musketeers and It. It's true that some of the humour is forced, but the chemistry between the two men compensate. Sean Astin, of Lord of the Rings fame, is also a nice contrast to Jason's Rincewind. As for the performances, what can i say? Very good indeed! David Jason, Britain's funniest living actor, gives a very funny performance of Rincewind, considering he wanted to do that role for years, though he may have been duller than what Pratchett intended. Try the Chronicles of Narnia, very good, and faithful to the books, but the effects tend to let them down. The special effects, while overblown in places, aren't actually that bad, considering the track records of slapdash effects in TV series. It looks beautiful, but I do agree that most of it lacks magic. For a TV series, I found it surprisingly enjoyable. I haven't read any of the DiscWorld books, and I know you are going to say i should. Reviewed by TheLittleSongbird 8 / 10 Hugely enjoyable adaptation of a Terry Prachett novel! Despite the wealth of material I also felt that the three-hour running time was just too long leaving this to drag more than a little. Jason and Astin are okay as the leads, but upstaged by supporting players like Tim Curry and David Bradley. The humorous one-liners come regularly but somehow they're blunter than they were on the page, and at times I felt like I was watching an amateur dramatics adaptation. There's a sense of everybody going through the motions rather than anyone really shining, and the script is perfunctory at best. It's an all-star ensemble piece, packed to the rafters with magical effects with the aid of a copious CGI budget, but the truth is that there's something missing here.Īnd it's the lack of magic which comes as a real surprise. This one goes right back to the beginning and features David Jason playing Rincewind the Wizard and Sean Astin as Twoflower the tourist. THE COLOUR OF MAGIC is the second of Sky's two-part miniseries adaptations of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, following on from THE HOGFATHER. Reviewed by Leofwine_draca 5 / 10 Lacks magic Overall I found this to be enjoyable I hope we'll get more adaptions of Disc World novels hopefully based on the activities of the Night Watch. The cast do a solid job David Jason is likable as Rincewind, Sean Astin nicely captures the stereotype of a slightly annoying but harmless foreign tourist who wants to see all the sights and Tim Curry delightfully hams it up as the villainous Trymon. The story is an enjoyable adventure that can be enjoyed by all ages as the scary bits are more comic than frightening and there is no crudeness to the humour. Since it is based on the first two books one doesn't need to be familiar with the Discworld as things are nicely explained. I thought this adaption nicely captured Terry Pratchett's Discworld even if the relatively low budget does show at times. I have read a few Discworld novels but not 'The Colour of Magic' or 'The Light Fantastic' on which this is based. While all this is going on we see the politics of the Unseen University at work as the devious wizard Ymper Trymon murders his way to the top then seeks the ultimate power of learning the eight powerful spells in the 'Octavo' there is just one problem one of the spells is in the head of Rincewind. It isn't long before the two of them get involved in a series of adventures that will lead them to have encounters with dragons, a troll and even discover what is over the edge of the disc amongst other things. Rincewind agrees to show Twoflower the sites but does a runner after being paid however a few words from the Patrician of Ankh-Morpork explaining that he is to ensure Twoflower has a good time and returns to his homeland with a good impression of the city he returns. The pair meet the Broken Drum tavern where Twoflower's large trunk full of gold coins has attracted more than a little attention. This Discworld story follows Rincewind, a student wizard who is expelled from the Unseen University for failing to reach the first level of wizardry after forty years of study, and Twoflower, the Discworld's first tourist. ![]() Reviewed by Tweekums 7 / 10 An enjoyable Discworld story ![]() This invaluable feature makes things easy.
