Review of The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008) by Mel V — 18 Sep 2014
Greatly under-rated, this film should be at the top with the other great fantasy films. But, and I'm not sure why, it was mostly overlooked when it came out. Most of the time if I mention it, I get a response of "The what? What's that?" And that shouldn't be.
It's a wonderful story with family ties at its core, but it doesn't come off as preachy or saccharine. The acting is all wonderful and the creatures are all fun, with only Martin Short over-doing the voice work, which he always does anyways.
If you like fantasy films, I highly reccomend this one. I give it a wonderful 9/10.
