Throughout the whole movie, it just feels like the audience is being rushed through the motions in order to get to the credits. The first problem that we come across in ‘Seventh Son’ is the script. And though it may sound like there are the makings of a fun, fantastical adventure in all of that, you’d be mistaken in this case. On their way to the witch’s stronghold, the pair encounters all sorts of mystical creatures that they must defeat including an army of assassins, a mighty warrior that turns into a bear, and a young and deceptive half-witch that falls in love with the apprentice. Well, I couldn’t have been more wrong.īased on Joseph Delany’s ‘The Spook’s Apprentice’ from the Wardstone Chronicles series, the story follows Bridges’ Master Gregory as he enlists the aid of a new apprentice to battle an extremely powerful witch and her minions. When I first learned about ‘Seventh Son’ during my first few months here at, I thought that director Sergei Bodrov’s film starring Jeff Bridges, Julianne Moore, and Ben Barnes might be able to hang with those movies that I fondly remembered from the days before ‘ Game of Thrones’. Of course back then I was watching ‘The Dark Crystal,’ ‘ Labyrinth,’ ‘The Neverending Story,’ and ‘The Princess Bride’ for the first time, but movies that actually came out during my childhood like ‘Lord of the Rings,’ the first few Harry Potter movies, and even ‘Dragonheart’ were each unique and entertaining as well. When I was younger, I remember live action medieval fantasy films being much awesome.
