Review of The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008) by Boris — 17 Feb 2008
It was good. I don't understand all these "0's". As it progressed I felt a little more detached to the story, as they could have worked on the scenes with tender ease, instead of pacing perfunctorily BUT, it didn't wimp out.
The monsters where scary and insidious. Hell, I might get whiplash from this BUT, recently I was thinking about those adolescent adventures with no harness nets (nobodies safe) and two movies jumped into my head: Goonies and The Lost Boys.
I thought "why don't they make more movies like that", and low and behold, this movie was released that Friday of that week. So I watched it, and felt it was MOSTLY gratifying as those formerly mentioned, but not completely.
Comedy/Horror. Kiefer to Lost Boys, Sloth to Goonies, Ogre to Spiderwick.
