I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Unfortunately I started reading the series of book this movie is based on around 2005-2006, and was horrified to know they were turning it into a movie because it's one of my favourite books of all time. Well they completely ruined it, the only things being true to the books is that the characters of John Gregory, Thomas Ward and Mother Malkin exist, and that the theme of the story is dealing with her once she is freed. Basically everything else is different, down to the characters motivations, backgrounds, and sometimes even very existence (Kit Harrington's character is dead before the book even starts, and he dies to a completely different type of creature). Beyond that the movie is poorly written, badly directed, and lacks the depth of character and lore you find in the book (a 200 page novel for 9-12 year olds, it's not like it's The Stand or some big epic). They could have done so much better, but chose not to for who knows what reasons. TL;DR The movie is probably not worth your time unless you want a very bad LOTR spoof. Go read the book, it'll take you like 2 hours max.

This is a absolutely dreadful rendition of one of my favorite childhood books. First of Tom Ward is suppose to be twelve years old. The actor playing him was in his thirties. Alice is also suppose to be twelve. Billy Bradley was suppose to died to a boggot because he was careless and got his thumbs stuck under the stone he was sealing it with, not to Mother Malkin. I managed to get through about ten minutes of this garbage before I was forced to turn it off in disappointment. Hopefully someone will try again and hopefully stick to the actually plot of the book. I hope they will also cast appropriate people to match the characters ACTUAL ages.

This is like a 5.5 out of 10 kind of throwaway magic and dragons type of movie; however if you wisely use the fast forward button on your remote while watching, you can transform this movie into a 6 or 7 or even 7.5 out of ten type of movie. Sure, the film will be about an 45 minutes to an hour long but just remember that you are watching this CGI fest for entertainment. Not like you have to write a term paper on this or anything like that (even though the plot is so simple, you'll still be able to write a term paper about it regardless of skipping movie of it) The movie is about a magic dude, played by The Dude and he grabs a practically random stranger for hardly a reason in the world and makes him his apprentice. And they set off to kill an evil queen witch. All joking aside, the action in this movie is pretty good and maybe the only reason to watch this movie. The CGI isn't half-bad. Just fast forward the parts showing the apprentice kid talking to anyone other than Jeff Bridges and you'll be as happy as a clam.

i cannot give this movie a fair and just review - the horrendous accent that jeff bridges used made the movie unwatchable for me. it's like his mouth was stuffed with mashed potatoes and marbles. it's even worse than Bane from the dark knight rises. and *that* is saying something. his "accent" totally ruins the movie. whoever told jeff to speak like that needs the teeth slapped out of their mouth.it might be a great movie - but i'll never know. i can't watch it.my son walked out of the room about 20 minutes in with the comment "yeah - they totally destroyed this story. i'm done."
