![]() ![]() ![]() The Octavo is the greatest of all spell books and very dangerous, and it lives in the cellars of Unseen University.This entry is SO detailed, but if you are unfamiliar with the Discworld books, suffice to say that ( SPOILER ALERTS): I also did not understand the general plot - this TV movie suffers from . - until I read t his very detailed synopsis entry of the film in the Discworld Wiki site. ![]() So, yes, this was another instance in which I watched this film so YOU DON’T HAVE TO. Where the tone of the books is funny and whimsical, the movie feels silly and belabored the filmsuffers from a lack of charm that is evident in Terry Pratchett’s writing. It’s also very cheesy in execution and special effects. It is overlong, as it was conceived and developed as a two-parter. I had been warned that this TV movie was bad - even my work colleague, who loves the Discworld series, said it wasn’t very good. ![]()
