“I am a fan of the Disc world books by Terry Pratchett and have read them all. It is always a difficult choice to buy a film version of a book because they are on occasion disappointing. However, having read the reviews on this film I decided to buy the blu ray version as it was being offered at a very good price.The start of the film for me was a bit slow (hence 4 star rating) but as it went on it became increasingly better and overall all it is a very entertaining, enjoyable film.”
“Habe bisher alle Verfilmungen (ob animiert oder real) zu Terry Pratchett's Büchern gesehen und fand sie allesamt sehr gelungen. Zwar haben alle so einen gewissen Low-Budget-Look (vor allem die Animationsfilme), aber aufgrund der Story fällt dies nicht ins Gewicht! Die Länge aller Verfilmungen ist beeindruckend bzw. nicht jeder Mann's Sache! ;)Going Postal hat mir von den Realverfilmungen bislang am Besten gefallen, was ich aber nicht genauer begründen kann, außer damit, daß ich diese Geschichte vorher noch nicht gelesen hatte und ich die Hauptdarsteller mochte. Auch Lord Vetinari (gespielt von Charles Dance, nunmehr auch bekannt aus HBO's Serie "Game of Thrones" zu den Büchern von George R.R. Martin) konnte mit seiner Darstellung bei mir punkten!Für Pratchett Fans ein Must-Have, für alle anderen: wenn ihr lange, lustige Filme mit viel intelligentem Humor sehen wollt, seid ihr hier richtig!”
“Der Film hat Charme, gute Schauspieler, Spannung und Humor. Rundum eine wirklich gute Buchverfilmung.Abzug gibt es für die Länge der Films; war mein erster Film der auf 2 DVDs kam.”
“brilliant adaption of the book - one of Terry's later books - great character portrayal and relatively true to the book, that said you'd still benefit from reading the book!”
“Ein typischer Terry Pratchett Film.Witzig, Spritzig vor allem Richard Coyle hat mir sehr gut in der Rolle gefallen.Ich wusste nicht, dass so viel Humor in ihn steckt.”
““Going Postal” is a fantasy film that is based on the novel of the same name and written by Terry Pratchett. The movie centers around a shrewd but conniving conman named Moist Lipwig who does not realize how his actions affect other people until life circumstances force him to change. Lipwig’s conscience grows even more strongly when he meets and falls in love with Adora Belle Dearheart. Lipwig meets Adora Dearheart after he is given a mandatory assignment to work at the post office. Terry Pratchett plays a role in the film and the following actors/actresses are also featured in “Going Postal”: Richard Coyle, David Suchet, Charles Dance,Claire Foy, Nicholas Farrell, Marnix, Broeke,Jimmy Yuill,Steve Pemberton, Andrew Sachs, Tamsin Greig, Ingrid Berdal, Adrian Schiller, Ian Bonar, Madhav Sharma, and Timothy West.The only caveat that was pointed out to me had to do with character personalities featured in the film compared to what was in the book. For instance,my husband watched the film with me out of curiosity and because he read the “Going Postal” book. He explained to me that the characters of Adora and Lipwig were actually portrayed much more self-confidently in the book than the film. Aside from that caveat, “Going Postal” is a quirky and adventurous film.”
