Leave your thoughts about The Spiderwick Chronicles.
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea Chasethat perfect nexus of childlike wonder and the terrors of the id. In other words, the perfect fairy tale that is about much more than the magical creatures |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordBe warned, parents, that younger children, under age seven, may have a problem with the often scary creatures that inhabit the Spiderwick world. Older kids, teens and adults, though, will have a good and entertaining time. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerDirector Mark Waters does a fine job meshing the fantastical with the quotidian. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA well-crafted family thriller that is truly scary and doesn't wimp out. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn Johanson[C]harming... lots of humorous and thrilling fantasy action... |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldAs kids' movies go, this is no Harry Potter, but it's an enjoyable enough adventure -- with just enough scariness. |
| Christianity TodayBrandon FibbsAn enjoyable adventure fantasy sure to cast a spell over its audiences. But just as importantly, it weaves a story that resonates with spiritual truth. |
| Sun Publications (Chicago, IL)Josh Larsen...a wonderful stand-in for childhood itself, when kids often have adventures involving things only they can see. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)Director Mark Waters keeps Spiderwick moving like crazy, which frees it from the overblown quality that bogs down some of these fantasy epics. |
| Time OutDavid FearThe voice of the novels is lost in translation; what's left is something that's merely by the book. |
