the race to uberwald in the movie- am i right in thinking that the destination is the town of Bonk?
(more importantly do they show it in the film?ive been obsessed with uberwaldy stuff since fifth elephant and this is probobly the closest i'll get to seeing it on film. sometimes i love exectutive plot meddling
)
there's a fiver riding on the answer to this question- me and my friend love discworld but neither of us have sky so we're loosing a lot of money to each other making bets on what the movie is actually like.

Hello, first time posting.
I enjoyed the film. I was upset a bit by Angua, but aside her transformation I thought she was pretty good. This also ruins Moist figuring out she is the werewolf in Making Money.
Charles Dance was a great Vetinari .
Adora giving up smoking? Health wise good but out of character, still her actress was spot on.
Someone mentioned Stanley was not attacked in the fire but Groat was. Actually Stanley's scenes in the fire are in the book. What were missing is Groat being attacked and Tiddles Plus Golems are supposed to come running to put out fires.
We also loose out on the birth of Gladys.
I think the film captured the book's heart but lost alot in parts not included. The Ancient Golem , We could have had Cameos from Carrot and Vimes . As well as the UU and Mossy Lawn plus poor Otto is just a sight gag and not mentioned by name.
If you nit picky this movie will upset you. I think it captured Disc and the book it just left many things out , some of which were important.

Hi and Welcome to the site Syanin, for the few ommisions as with the other films I thought they were all good some I liked better than others.They don't have Hollywood budgets and Peter Jackson etc. I just think the MOB do a great job with the budget they have, so I won't moan or complain about them.
Yup, welcome!
I just watched it and I have to say, I loved it. As someone said before me, there's a movie I wouldn't be ashamed to present to my friends to get them into Discworld. I'm a little bit too much of a snob to have enjoyed Hogfather and TCOM but Going Postal was just spot on. Of course, all the changes you've mentioned bothered me, too. There were moments when I just stared at the screen in horror or shouted something along the lines of "Now that ain't right!" But still, I think it had the spirit of the book.
I did miss Mr. Tiddles, though.
