After the disappointing cartoons of "Soul Music" and "Wyrd Sisters", I wasn't keen on seeing any more movie products bearing Sir Pterry's name. That is until I saw the trailer for "The Color of Magic". Well I had to see it and while it was far from perfect, it was still an enjoyable watch made even better by Tim Curry's role as the cunning Trymon and Christopher Lee's voice given to Death. This started me on the rest of the live action movies which leads us to "Going Postal".
What can I say other than I loved it and thought it was the best of the three. The story follows the novel, the characters are as described and RIchard Coyle as Moist Von Lipwig was perfect as the con man turned Postman. Much credit needs to also be given to Charles Dance as the Patrician. If there was ever a man that had the look of a predatory flamingo, it's him.
The special effects were quite well done and while I would have preferred a little more difference in how the golems looked I understand their reasoning in making them all look the same.
All in all, if you liked the novel I really suggest giving the three live action movies a try. Sir Pterry appears in all of them as a cameo and he was reportedly pleased with the work.
