This is where the previous movie Color of Magic went wrong. Small amount of magic and special effects that would require a 100 Million budget to make decent. Why? you ask and I answer Good story that is easy to follow without any previous knowledge of Discworld. As it happens to be, the moment I started reading Going Postal(the book) I thought for myself "This would make a really great movie!". 9/10 Bethany Coxįirst off, This is the third film based on Terry Pratchett Discworld and if you have seen the previous films you know they lacked in quite many areas. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and while I liked all three Sky/Pratchett adaptations this one was the best. Charles Dance, Richard Coyle and Steve Pemberton turn in great performances, and Claire Foy is also appealing and David Suchet is an interesting Gilt. 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.
