Review of Seventh Son (2014) by Nathan M — 16 Feb 2015

With a dumb plot, ridiculous characters, and performances that are laughable at best, Seventh Son is a horrible attempt at starting a new franchise. What is Jeff Bridges doing? It seems like he can't help himself, but do these ridiculous accents in ridiculous films. I can give Moore some credit for selling out to the film's premise, but Bridges takes it too far. It's no longer enjoyable to watch him play the Rooster Cogburn character in every movie.

But Seventh Son's biggest crime is that it's boring. It just can't hold your attention. It feels like something that was made for DVD, but somehow got a release on the big screen. None of the visuals are worthy of being seen on such a big screen, and by fifteen minutes in you know what kind of ridiculous film you've gotten into and you zone out.
