Leave your thoughts about The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising.
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerGianni TruzziThe books' magic was rooted in its ties to Arthurian legend and British folklore, grandiose elements which Cunningham and Hodge have stripped. |
| OhmyNews.comBrian OrndorfThe ultimate question is, was the movie purposefully made into a blur to play directly into the pockets of the fans, or do we chalk this up to standard-issue directorial incompetence? I vote the latter. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderA slapdash story told hastily, without whimsy or wit. |
| Movie MomNell MinowThe Signs may be invisible to everyone but The Seeker, but the plot developments will be obvious to everyone after the first 20 minutes. |
| Christian Science MonitorRobert NewtonWalden Media's success at making the worlds of Narnia and Terabithia feel real on screen does not translate into the same magic in adapting Susan Cooper's series of young-adult fantasy novels. |
| Entertainment WeeklyGregory KirschlingA movie that should've been made shortly after its source material -- Susan Cooper's Newbery winner -- debuted in 1973. As is, it feels entirely too generic to work today. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekClumsily made and not at all magical, with a confusing story, a bland young hero, a really boring villain and mediocre visuals...read the signs and search elsewhere. |
| Bangor Daily News (Maine)Christopher SmithThe bum execution ironically sheds light on just how dim this film about light and dark really is. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanThis is a reasonable choice for bored tweens - as long as they don't demand too much magic from their movies. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittThe Seeker is great-looking and well-acted, but unlike the Potter books and films, there's no sense that it's about anything more than the throwing-balls-of-smoke and mind-melding that we see onscreen. |
