Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away

Majorthebys Charming and brutal

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

mance1974-128-478638 I'm a major movie freak and this one is at the top of the list for me. The story line is great, actors/actresses are awesome and the effects were right on point for me. Julianne Moore is one of my all time favorite actresses and plays such an awesome evil witch. She is such a top notch versatile actress that is just truly awesome in any movie she takes a role in.

vsd324 With wizards, warlocks, witches, walled cities, demons, dragons, knights and ogres, and of course with a side of romance, "Seventh Son" has everything you need for a Medieval epic tale. In this movie Tom Ward (Ben Barnes) is the 7th son of a 7th son, a fate thought to hold great destiny. Tom becomes the apprentice of John Gregory (Jeff Bridges). Gregory is a "spook" which in this world is ironically a good guy who protects humankind from evil supernatural spirits and beings. Gregory's arch nemesis is the powerful witch Malkin (Julianne Moore), who is growing more powerful with the presence of a blood moon. Together Gregory and Tom go and a quest to stop Malkin's havoc. This movie is a film version of the novel "The Last Apprentice: Revenge of the Witch," the first book of the "Wardstone Chronicles" by Joseph Delaney. When these types of novel series moved to the big screen, there are a large number of characters that are well developed in the book. It's hard to cram all this character development into two hours. "Seventh Son" had lots of interesting characters that were likely highly developed in the novel, but in the movie it feels like it moves too fast to get to know any of them…and the movie is not that fast paced. There are just that many characters. All in all it's till a fun movie to watch, with some good action sequences.

kosmasp I think another reviewer put it nicely when he wrote, that this is neither a disaster nor a classic. It can be entertaining though, if you let yourself into the fantasy world. You've got really good actors in this and they're having fun. Jeff Bridges seems to channel a bit of Tom Hardy, though it's hard to tell sometimes the way he talks (in this case it's slightly different and almost to earnest for the tone of the movie itself, which is way lighter).But you also have the recently Oscar winning Vikander and Ms. Moore, both wonderful in their own rights. The special effects are decent too, though I didn't watch the 3D version, so I can't say how those worked out for the movie. It's a family affair mostly, even if it gets a bit dark from time to time.

skGoliat I liked this movie, but not enough to write a review. But the bad criticism did not let me any chance, I had to step in. Most of the critics sound a bit salty, because their beloved book has not been portrayed correctly. Well, I did not read the books, so I can judge a bit more objectively I think. While I expected nothing, I was pleasantly surprised. Here are the reasons why this movie is different: The antagonists actually have reasons to be bad - There is not only black and white, good and evil in this story, there are a lot of grey areas as well - Actors are really good, Juliane Moore is amazing - production values are good, not top notch, but good - in most movies you know after minute 5 how the movie is going to end, not so much in this movieDon't take me wrong, this is nowhere near amazing, but it is entertaining, has some interesting aspects and good production values. The only thing that seems to make this movie bad is when you have read the books before. If you have not, try it.
