Seventh Son Movie Review!

So, a medieval/fantasy epic with a strange gimmick backing it up. How could this possibly go wrong? In many fucking ways. Let's find out how many, shall we?

The premise is thus: A falcon knight by the name of Gregory (played by Jeff Bridges) imprisons a powerful witch for good. She breaks out when the next blood moon approaches and comes to attack once more. Hope lies within Gregory to train a new apprentice who is the seventh son of a seventh son.

The acting. Before getting to the rest of the people. Someone who easily stands of is Jeff Bridges. What in the hell is up with his speech impediment in this movie? The man does not talk like that. The cast is nothing impressive at all, and it is a waste truly. Some big names here. It was kind of disappointing.

The visuals. The scale of the movie is grand, it looks impressive at times. You can feel in an actual medieval world. But the CGI rears its ugly head and ruins it with so much over the top bat shit crazy, it takes the immersion right out. The monsters could definitely have used an upgrade considering the 70-100 million dollar budget the movie had.

The story. So, it can certainly get convoluted, even crazy at times, but it's more silly grandiose that I certainly expected. There's so many bland and obvious turns on this flick, I'm surprised it didn't fall off into its own Limbo. It's too predictable. That's the sad thing. Guess 2015 didn't start out so good, did it?

I have hope for the future, so let's see what else is in store.

2 out of 10.
