Review of Seventh Son (2014) by Sasha C — 08 Feb 2015

I am probably the only person who will admit I didn't hate it as much as everyone else. I have seen big budget fantasy films that just fail at everything, but at least this one has a good cast and though the material doesn't give them a lot to work with, they are still better than most. Maybe since I never read the books it was based, I was able to go in with a blank slate. Jeff Bridges was decent as an aging knight and Julianne Moore is a good villain. Even the young lead Ben Barnes was a suitable hero. It is not a great fantasy film, but it is not the worst I have seen. It's one of those films if they never make any sequels, I will be fine with.

Grade: B-.
