Twisted fun with spotty production values
|
My wife and I watched Hogfather last night. We found it entertaining, very much on a par with Stardust (DeNiro/Pfeiffer) - no better, no worse. I really like the actress who played Susan. Very classy. However, I was distracted by the constantly shifting production quality, where scenes went from very dark to bleached-out bright. This was sometimes confusing, as they attempted to indicate shifts between locations and story lines by changing the lighting, yet scenes WITHIN the castle near the end varied widely from shot to shot.
I am a casual Terry Pratchett fan, having read a couple of his books, but I'm not a Discworld zealot. My wife has not read any of Pratchett's work. So we did not approach the movie with any expectations. We both felt it is a worthy effort, but a bit long (3+ hours) and wish the production had been a bit better. The Tooth Fairy's castle was so obviously a cheap plywood set!
Overall, I'd give this a mild thumbs up.
