Reviews

brody-68495 For someone who was read the books and was waiting for this film to be made, I was sadly disappointed. The main story line of the movie is not coherent with the first book they even add stuff from books further down in the series that shouldn't of been there. They didn't even get some of the characters correct and that was the most disappointing. If you have any curiosity to read the books I urge you to they are ten times better than the movie.

briangraydoneverett Just relax and soak this one up. It's fun and not at all as bad as reviews suggest. It reminds me of a time when these movies took themselves less seriously. Good fun. Good hero. Good villain. Good enough FX. Double love stories. Fun action. Pass the popcorn.

OneEightNine Media This is like a 5.5 out of 10 kind of throwaway magic and dragons type of movie; however if you wisely use the fast forward button on your remote while watching, you can transform this movie into a 6 or 7 or even 7.5 out of ten type of movie. Sure, the film will be about an 45 minutes to an hour long but just remember that you are watching this CGI fest for entertainment. Not like you have to write a term paper on this or anything like that (even though the plot is so simple, you'll still be able to write a term paper about it regardless of skipping movie of it) The movie is about a magic dude, played by The Dude and he grabs a practically random stranger for hardly a reason in the world and makes him his apprentice. And they set off to kill an evil queen witch. All joking aside, the action in this movie is pretty good and maybe the only reason to watch this movie. The CGI isn't half-bad. Just fast forward the parts showing the apprentice kid talking to anyone other than Jeff Bridges and you'll be as happy as a clam.

catcam-54410 Having just read all thirteen of the Spooks books, and loved every word, I am disappointed in this film version which has been dumbed down in both plot and characterisation. This could have been a brilliant film, showing shades of good and evil, showing characters with inner depths and divided loyalties, but it is not. It's just another sword and sorcery offering with a tired narrative. It brings nothing new to the genre. The tension, menace and darkness of the books are lost here. What makes the story of Tom Ward so thoroughly enjoyable is the back drop of the dark north west of England landscape full of old legend, terror and harshness. Tom Ward is portrayed as a boy in the books, but is an older youth in the film. This changes the relationship with Alice completely. Less glossy monster scenes and more sustained menace might have improved matters. I think you have done young people a disservice here if you do not think that they can be absorbed by anything other than special affects and zany get outs. You never for one moment worry for Tom, and fear for his life and soul. Such a shame.
