Movie Reviews of The Seeker
Movie Review: Not as bad as I was expecting
Summary: 3 Stars
Despite the horrible reviews I've read, I added this movie to my netflix list. As a bug fan of the Dark is Rising sequence, I knew there would be plenty of disappointing plot changes. For about the first 20 minutes, I continued to compare the book and movie and found the changes not necessary. Finally I decided to give the rest of the movie a fair chance and pretend the book and movie were totally unrelated. From that viewpoint, the movie isn't a total failure.Some of the acting was off, I was most disappointed with the character Merriman. I'd say this movie was average, certainly better than I expected.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: Disappointed
Summary: 3 Stars
I had read the book serious by Susan Copper. Loved the books. Got the DVD, which did not cost a lot but was sadly disappointed in the movie and sadly disappointed in the purchase. The movie because it was not at all like the books, but then again movies usually aren't. The purchase because there was a rather large and significant skip in it which prevented me from viewing the whole thing. So next time be aware that sometimes you get what you pay for. Next time I will be purchasing a new DVD, not taking the risk that it will skip on me.Movie Review: The Dark Has Won With This One
Summary: 3 Stars
The Seeker, I am sorry to say, is another Starship Troopers and Lord of the Rings-- that is, a good book turned into a just so-so adaptation. This movie is fine for anyone who has never read any of Susan Cooper's marvelous books, but for a fan of the books, this is a sorry disappointment of a film.
I'd like to know why things are changed that really didn't have to be changed at all in the first place. Will was twelve, why make him older? Why make a British boy American? Why ruin a good story like this? I wish I knew...
Movie Review: The seeker should have found something else.
Summary: 3 Stars
Another poorly made movie adapted from a great book series. Instead of rewriting everything, just deal with what happens in the actual books. The actors are subpar especially Christopher Eccleston whom I really liked as the Doctor in the Doctor Who series. There never really seems to be any real danger for the lead character as he searches for the objects he needs to keep the Dark at bay. Better to keep with the Harry Potter movies than this.
