Reviews
Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Jeremy Boyd Perhaps I am at a great disadvantage reviewing this film when just a few days ago I finished watching the complete original television series, so everything about the original characters is so fresh in my mind.First of all the acting is terrible. Toby Jones as Captain Mainwaring is perhaps the best of a terrible bunch, which still isn't saying much for him either. Michael Gambon could have done a marvelous job as Godfrey, but the script never gave him the opportunity. Bill Nighy is utterly hopeless as Sergeant Wilson - he played the part like he had never seen John Le Mesurier's wonderful interpretation of the role, and Tom Courtenay came across like a second rate actor desperately trying to reproduce Clive Dunn's character.I'm not going to say anymore - the film is so very boring, and I am wandering if this version was deliberately done this way for some reason or the other. All the charm and wit of the characters and the stories of the original series are hopelessly lost. David Croft must be turning in his grave.
Stuart Blyth Worst. Film. Ever.Quite simply an abomination of the original film and TV series.Not a single laugh was had in the films 90+ minutes.Room full of extended family, settling down to watch a film together during the festive period ... and this is what we ended up with.We had more laughs ripping the film to pieces than the film itself provided.Why did the likes of Nighy, the Jones' and Gambon sign up to this? Did they not see the script?Some classics like this just should not be re-made.
David Jemitus I enjoyed the old Dad's Army series but was never a die hard fan of it.The new film is pleasant and full of great actors but I only laughed once (near the end of the film) and found it rather disappointing. The new actors did a good job of reprising the characters except for Toby Jones as Captain Mainwaring didn't work.The one exception was Annette Crosbie and Julia Foster who looked like they had a great time making the film and made the most of their tiny presence of screen. However the other actors were largely wasted by average (and unfunny) dialogue and a dull interpretation of the story.Many things are best left with the originals only and that's certainly true in this case.
mlb-28 So its not a Dads Army movie as the original Dads army cast are (mostly) gone, so rope in some similar looking (all very good actors in their own right) people and then string a plot together. This is just toilet, it does not do the original series justice, it does not stand up as a film it its own right and it does not do any of the actors any credit. They try very hard, all of the stunts and comedy scenes are forced, the plot is so thin it would have been reject ted by the original series. Sorry but its a waste of everyone's talent and goes to show some TV series need to remain as historic TV series trying to reinvent does not always work, if can watch this for free then do - but please do not pay anything for it there are much better movies out there for your collection.
