Review of The House with a Clock in Its Walls (2018) by Rhosantoro — 28 Sep 2018

I put 7, but I think that maybe is a 6.5.

The story of the movie is good as based on a book, but is good to kids. If you are teenager or adult, this movie have a chance to not impress you, but who knows? I have a aunt who loves any type of magic movie so... I can't say that is a good adaptation of the book of the movie as I never read, so I owe you this. The plot-twist (let's call that) is interesting, but as the movie is not all this, just make you pay more attention to the screen and that's it. I don't know, but the world they showed makes me think that would be great on a cartoon show. Again, who knows, right?

The characters are good, especially Jack Black and Cate Blanchett's characters. This two makes the movie better with their charism and good acting (yeah, I like Jack Black acting skills). The boy, who is protagonist, isn't a very interesting character, but that don't annoy me. The villains are... ok. They aren't scary, evil (they are evil, but not that kind of evil we expect) or interesting in any ways.

As I say in my resume, "The House with a Clock in Its Walls" is a good-to-okay movie. Your children will like, you maybe not so. Jack Black and Cate Blanchett are a good duo and I would like to see them together again. The boy have potential, but the movie not explored. As I say on every review that I make, go to the movies and watch by yourself to make your vision of this film. Don't depend of others words to you say what is good and what isn't. I don't care about someone finds my review useful or not, I'm just writing what I think about it.
