one of my absolute favorites!

Awesome Movie

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

SEVENTH SON is yet another cookie-cutter Hollywood fantasy adventure blockbuster aimed at the kid and teenage crowd. It feels virtually identical to THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE, a Nicolas Cage movie, albeit with a cod-medieval setting rather than the real world of the Cage movie. Jeff Bridges - who gives an embarrassingly poor copy of Ian McKellen's role as Gandalf throughout - plays a ghost-busting witch finder who takes on an apprentice (in the form of dull nice guy Ben Barnes) to battle an evil witch, played by the hideous overacting Julianne Moore. What with roles in this and R.I.P.D., you get the impression that Bridges has become one of the lazier actors in Hollywood these days.The plot is merely a series of dialogue exchanges dotted between the big CGI set-pieces showing our heroes fighting giant monsters, getting captured, and occasionally falling in love. Alicia Vikander, nowadays a big actress in her own right, shows up as the love interest but makes no impression whatsoever, while Kit Harington has a cameo so brief as to be pointless. The CGI is fairly good - you'd expect it to be given the budget - but the film has absolutely no character of its own and thus feels uniformly bland and derivative.

The Good. Special effects and CGI were surprisingly good for what I was expecting. The special effects were very impressive in the way they flowed during major fight scenes, the manner they used CGI with actors in all but one scene, was near flawless. The Bad. Jeff Bridges played an odd fellow very creepy and oddly. Most of the other acting was good to very good. The story was okay, but had major issues on why the heck did they do that or this at times as it did not add to the story or made you feel, why didn't they do that sooner if they could that in the first place. In that respect, the story took several leaps to move the over all movie plot along. (Very Minor Maybe Spoiler) It also had a major pivotal plot hole without explanation on why the two major characters relationship ended if they loved each other? This was major and pivotal because it was their relationship ending that set up the the movie and why the "Queen" witch went all evil. The Overall. Never heard of this movie, which made the enjoyment of it greater, had I been expecting a blockbuster I would have been disappointed. However, while this is no Lord of Rings, it is very good movie to watch once and kill an hour and a half!

Didn't know a great deal about this film but I do like fantasy films and Julianne Moore and Jeff Bridges were in it.That still didn't stop it from being a sh*t film.The script wasn't great, the romance between the Seventh Son and the witch had NO chemistry and felt very forced, he told her that he loved her after seeing each other three bloody times!I've seen better dragons…. everywhere but the effects for the whole movie were worse than Sharknado!The whole movie was resolved really fast and predictably in the final moments.I have no idea if the book is as boring as the film but I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone.Well… maybe if I don't like them!

This film has had allot of negative reviews but I gave it a shot and yes its pretty bad. The premise of the film sees a witch hunter get a new apprentice in order to stop an army of withes. Jeff bridges character was quite fun in this film but he had a lack of depth to his character and at Times it was a bit hard to understand him. Julianne moore was also pretty good in this film as the villain witch even though her character also lacked depth. Ben barnes plays the apprentice in this film and he is just so dull and we are never given a reason to even start liking this character. Also even though Alicia vikander is a good actress there is just no chemistry between the two and it really hurts the film. The story is really basic and lacks any depth to it or its characters. The script is poor as well with no drama or humour added to make the film fun. The style has some pretty fun action scenes but also has an over reliance on cgi that come across poorly. Overall this is a poor film that doesn't hit the levels it should.
