Movie Reviews of The Seeker - The Dark is Rising
Movie Review: If I could give it 0 stars I would.
Summary: 1 Stars
Wow, where to begin... I have read the book but Im not one to pick a movie apart based on the book. If I did, I'd have to tear Lord of the Rings to pieces (which I loved as a movie). Anyway, Seeker is hands down the worst movie I've seen in a long while. It takes a 9 on my Eyes Wide Shut Scale of Bad Movies. Why? Terrible acting... super-over-the-top melodramatic scenes... an annoyingly inconsistent and incomprehensible plotline... idiotic amount if tension building with absolutely no pay off. In short its a lot like an episode of Dragonball Z, in a kids' fantasy movie clothing. Movie Review: Would Not Recommend
Summary: 2 Stars
The movie was weak. Weak in character development and plot. The climatic battle needed more and the ending was to perfect. The movie could have been good, but wasn't. With all the other family fantasy books and movies out there, I would say don't go with this one.Movie Review: A disapointment
Summary: 3 Stars
I had high hopes for this movie, the series by Susan Cooper on which the movie is based was a favorite of my as a child. While I realize the movie was only based on the book The Dark is Rising a bare nod was really made towards it. While that in of itself would not be to much of a problem if over all it had been entertaining, the movie really didn't flow well and was rather poorly done and uninteresting. While I have never before written a review this disappointing movie deserved a warning. I wouldn't buy this movie. Rent it if you must see it, but otherwise save your money. I give it 2 1/2 stars.Movie Review: it's fun but...
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie was fun but the story line is not good. This movie action was not perfect. This movie was interesting for young kids not for adult.
This movie was a little short and it wasted.
Movie Review: NOTHING like the books so don't hold your breath!
Summary: 2 Stars
Aside from some of the character names ...there is nothing to link this movie to the Susan Cooper series. At least with Harry Potter the storyline was somewhat followed - even if some things were left out.
Having read "The Dark Is Rising" series, this movie was a sore disappointment to me. The books were fantastic, action-packed - hold on to your seats wonderful! The movie is a tiny shadow of the books. You find yourself being frustrated with Will and his teen whine and self-pity instead of hoping he finds the signs. Really important characters to the story were tossed to the wayside and some were left as a side-look instead of the real character. Sad disappointment of a movie. BUT, if you've never read the books - and you are a really young kid (or kid at heart) - you might enjoy this sad adaptation.
