I had no idea what this movie was about before my husband and I sat down to watch it. I had won the DVD recently and as there was nothing on tonight we thought why not. I was surprised with some of the big names in the movie and actually enjoyed it for what it was. The opening scene had me intrigued, to say the least. I assumed it was some witch down the well for centuries before her big escape and got such a thrill when a dragon popped out. The special effects where great - I love dragons and to see one so well done was extremely exciting. Unfortunately I am not a huge Jeff Bridges fan and so the movie took a bit of a dive for me. He did a good job but I found his mumbling to become tiresome. Basically its good vrs evil but with a twist. Hell has no fury like a witch scorned and when her love is no longer wrecks hell on earth. Only the seventh son of a seventh son can stop the evil from taking over the earth. Bridges has a knack for losing his apprentices and finds another but this one has a twist and does not go all smooth sailing. As a plot it is nothing exciting but the exercution is done fantastically. I loved the creatures that popped up in the movie and you never knew what what happen next. It could of been a lot darker but I think it is aimed more for the teenager scene with only a PG13 rating. The acting had its moments and I was surprised at how well Julianne Moore done, she definitely kept the movie going. I personally would of liked it to be darkened up a bit and aimed at the older generation as the movie could of been something great or even out of this world but it is definitely watchable. |
