Saw this at last years Edinburgh film festival it's actually really well made, beautiful cinematography Gregor Fisher is great as always highly recommended- especially for free

No London for now, that's a shame.

I will. Being free isn't an attraction for a product that will always fail to have the real world charm of the original. HD and flashy cinematography can't polish a turd.

The recent Dad's Army film was terrible. The tv documentary-drama on them, starring John Sessions was much better.
And remakes aren't always better than the original, as seen with dire American versions of European tv/films (The Killing, The Bridge, The Prisoner, The Vanishing, ...).
Sometimes more money and technology can lead to better version of a story, but I think this film is at it's best in the original though stereotyped form.

Toby Jones was good like always but Bill Nighy was terrible, not his fault really but they didn't get his character right at all.

Why the heck would they remake such a classic film? No way I'd even consider watching this, as with the more recent Dad's Army movie.
