"What follows is a review of the film "The Seventh Son" starring Ben Barnes, Julianne Moore and Jeff Bridges. It will contain spoilers. You have been warned.

This is based on the book "The Spook's Apprentice" by Joseph Delaney written in 1987 – see wiki here. Now, at first I was a bit put off by Jeff Bridge's "Master" character having an odd accent. He was really "hamming" it up. But after a while, his quirky, quick witted sarcastic character really came through. The opening battle with an apprentice was quite well done – shocking even in that it was not one of these computer game, superhero battles where the characters take massive hits to only bounce back up unimpeded in their fighting ability by recent killing blows. And his first apprentice dies in the opening scene! So characters can ACTUALLY DIE in this movie! Comparing this to the recent Hobbit films this action is a "cut above" (pun intended) and suspends disbelief far better than the fighting slop dished out in other fantasy movies…" Full review here link Amicalement Armand |
