By-the-numbers, generic plots no longer work and that, unfortunately, is what Seventh Son delivers. Impressive set design and visuals, excessive CGI, and a loud score from Marco Beltrami can’t fully compensate for bland character development and a predictable narrative that rushes along on a linear trajectory.

The result is a movie that serves as little more than an excuse for Moore and Bridges to camp it up. Read full review

Though the film sat in drydock for a year, partly so technicians could convert it to 3-D, it looks as dull as it sounds. Read full review

Director Sergei Bodrov’s movie is based on a kids’ book in which Tom was a 12-year-old, and the actors wisely pitch their performances to a young crowd. Read full review

The only question that’s worth considering in Seventh Son is whether this all-star B-movie is bad enough to cost Julianne Moore her “Still Alice” Oscar. And the answer to that is, “Not really.” Read full review

Torching “witches” is the one part of the story that has some historical basis, and adds an uncomfortable edge of misogyny to this otherwise empty fantasy. Read full review

Nothing in Seventh Son is compelling, interesting or noteworthy, though you can feel the strain of the filmmakers attempting to set up a potential franchise. Read full review

This is a baseline for any action movie. The beginning hooks you but the plot becomes mediocre eventually. Regular viewers of any action movie will be uninterested in this but you’ll get some enjoyment out of this movie. Best as just a rental.

Well, this movie felt like it took all the things that didn’t work with films like Season of the Witch, Van Helsing, Elektra (where she fights these people who are supposed to be awesome assassins but they die super quick) , Eragon (which wasted Jeremy Irons.). It was predictable and… Expand

There should be an award ceremony revoking Oscars, because some of the stars of this should be required to return theirs. Lots of fancy special effects can’t save this convoluted foray into the world of fantasy and adventure. The script for this is just terrible and can’t seem to decide… Expand

Overall I really disliked Seventh Son, it was so boring. It had a script of a film that I had seen a hundred times and it’s been done better before and it wasted a brilliant ensemble cast. How you have a film with Julianne Moore and Jeff Bridges in and you don’t get a decent performance,… Expand
