Seventh Son

Julianne Moore cast as an evil witch and the main villain is pure genius! and makes this a mustsee

Excellent movie, worth the watch. Jeff Bridges plays the role perfectly!

Well told story, decently acted. Plus Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore are both wonderful, as always. Not having read the books, I am not burdened by that comparison. But I would probably rate this lower if it is, in fact, as different at a core level as others say.

Not the best movie ever, but that's what to expect with something like this. Fun popcorn flick that looked great.

This is a good, solid fantasy adventure. It is not a “wow great” kind of movie but definitely enjoyable to watch, at least if you are a fan of fantasy, magic, dragons and such like.

The movie is based on a book which I have not read although I believe it is considered as a young adult book. The movie seems to reflect this in that it has a fairly simple, straightforward, adventure plot. This is a movie made to entertain with magic, adventure, a bit of humor and visual effects. Nothing more and nothing less.

In my opinion it does so fairly well. I do like Jeff Bridges in his role as a rather wacky hunter of evil witches who have fallen into a dark and uncaring attitude towards the world around him. Uncaring about everything except slaying of witches that is. Ben Barnes, portraying the apprentice and Seventh Son is unfortunately making a rather bland impression. Then Julianne Moore is definitely better as the evil witch.

No movie where fantasy, magic and dragons are among the main themes can be without special effects. So, not surprisingly, there are a fair amount of them in this movie. I think they are generally well made and complements the story well without being overdone.

On the whole I liked the movie. It is a simple but solid adventure story with just the right amount of a few humorous remarks, nice visual effects, a bit of romance and action.

As a generic film, it a is 6 because... it is too generic. Things just happen and are told without any real development. As an entertainment for a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, it is a 7. The production is nice but not awesome.

I don't know the books other people mention, so I do not have that bias.

Witcher but with Bridge's character from RIPD as Geralt and Moore as wicked dragon of the west.

The whole story is rushed AF. Visuals a pretty good.

Certainly not a great movie by any means. It´s what you make of it which for me was some decent afternoon entertainment.

Yes, story is thin and predictable and in general not very original. Visuals are as good as can be expected. Acting is mediocre but with characters that aren´t deep in the first place you can only do so much. The one thing that was unbearable was Jeff Bridges way of talking. He sounded like he head hot potatoes in his cheeks.

The film felt rushed, writing wasn't very good, Julianne Moore didn't seem very fit for the role of evil witch-queen and it all lacked a certain depth. Kind of disappointed, even though my expectations weren't even that high to begin with.

Not in any means a good movie, but alright for a no-brainer hangover-flick when you don't want to think too much and just watch something. Bridges is never bad either, so he makes it quite watchable. I will probably never watch it again though...
