Movie Review: GREAT KIDS MOVIE
Summary: 5 Stars
I have 8 children ranging in age from 4 to 18. They were MESMORIZED by this movie. If you look at it out of the context of the book (as you should do in MOST book to film adaptations) it is entertaining in its own right. I think the critics of this movie have a point, but they also don't give credit where it is due. There are parts that "don't make sense" but I could say the same thing regarding just about every kids movie I have seen lately(this is just due to poor editing). As an adult...I could pick out the problems with it...but my kids...not moving once and rooting for the characters..."understanding what was happening"...talking to the movie...wishing they were Will...THAT is the making of a good movie! I'm just sad to read and hear that there will probably not be sequels...what a shame! Check out the official site too! Fun stuff for the kids to do! www.seekthesigns.comMovie Review: the seeker
Summary: 5 Stars
i bought this movie for one reason and only one reason ( christopher eccleston) who play the doctor who first season... when i watched it i didn't except it to be fantastic . i couldn't help myself from watching it again and again not just because of christopher eccleston but because the movie was great . the charcters were perfect for they roll i couldn't image anyone eles playing anybody eleses part. i bought five copies and gave them to my nieces/nephews who in fact love the movie just as much as i do.. it weird but true .... the only problem i had with this movie is i wanted it to go on i wanted to see the results from th end of the movie ... plus christopher eccleston part was too small i wanted to see more of him in the movie..... it only my oppoion but this movie is a A+++
you don't see good movie that much anymore i'm glad i find this one.
Movie Review: If You Haven't Read The Book......
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie! I thought it was well plotted and had excellent performances by the very talented cast with a satisfying wrap-it-up ending. BUT, I hadn't read Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising Sequence at the time. This movie did inspire me to read all five books in order and I loved the books, too. Now that I have read them, in my opinion, it is unfortunate that the film makers didn't start at the beginning (Over Sea and Under Stone) and tell this remarkable story over the course of several films. Maybe that way they would or could have stayed closer to the story told in the books.
My advice to you is to enjoy this movie as a stand alone flick that is VERY loosely tied to "The Dark Is Rising" book. Then, read (or reread) The Dark Is Rising Sequence to get the whole thrilling and very lovely story that Susan Cooper crafted so well.
Movie Review: Not The Book But...
Summary: 5 Stars
For people who are looking for this movie to be based on The Dark Is Rising series of boks it's a disappointment. Consider this movie to be loosely based on them with the plot and names the same but something completely different. Although it's loosely based this movie can stand on it's own and could be thought of as a companion to the books. A person doesn't have to read the series or even know what the books are about to enjoy this film. Actually, it's best NOT to compare the two.Movie Review: Great movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I have not read these books so I can't compare the story lines; however, I thought this movie was great! The characters are very interesting and the general story was captivating. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone looking for a magical and exciting movie!
