Leave your thoughts about Seventh Son.
| The PlaylistDrew TaylorNothing in Seventh Son is compelling, interesting or noteworthy, though you can feel the strain of the filmmakers attempting to set up a potential franchise. |
| Bowling Green Daily NewsMicheal ComptonAbout as pedestrian as a fantasy film can come, with the script full of the obligatory check marks and Sergei Bodrev's direction about as flat and uninteresting as possible. |
| Screen It!Jim JudyNot a cinematic abomination but clearly nothing good let alone great. (Full Content Review -- Sex, Profanity, Violence, etc. -- for Parents also available) |
| Film Journal InternationalDaniel EaganThe surprise is that by genre standards [Seventh Son isn't] that bad-it's just that everything in it has been done before. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowThe fight scenes are exciting, the visuals and special effects are impressive, and it is fun to see two big actors take on these scenery-chomping roles. |
| GeekNationEric D. SniderEveryone involved needs to sit quietly and think about what they've done. |
| Assignment XAbbie BernsteinThis question of morality is a perfectly fine basis for a film, fantasy or otherwise, but Seventh Son doesn't know what to do with it. |
| Kaplan vs. KaplanDavid KaplanThe battle scenes are mercifully short --- thank you to director Sergey Bodrov --- which results in a brisk outing at an hour and forty-two minutes. |
| NewsdayRafer GuzmanNo masterpiece, but a welcome February surprise with a lively cast and rugged action. |
| Kaplan vs. KaplanJeanne KaplanNothing in this film is fully developed, which explains the script problems. |
