The witches’ powers are unspecified and convenient. The servant Tusk is an inhuman goblin-troll creature that serves Gregory for no discernable reason. The movie’s entire mythos is lazy and messy. Each of his lines sounds like they are spoken through a mouthful of stew.īarnes and Swedish actress Alicia Vikander bring a certain playfulness to the film’s main love story between Tom and the convenient double agent-witch Alice, but sadly it doesn’t keep it from being any less overdone. She was more terrifying when she misidentified her daughter as a witch in the 2013 “Carrie” remake than when she assumes the role herself.īridges seems to be aiming for a tired, wizened master but instead comes off as a goofy, alcoholic sorcerer. Moore delivers a trite and boring witch performance.

It’s just a shame that their reunion had to be wasted in this mess. The cast itself has been described as a humble reunion of “The Big Lebowski,” this film being the first time that Moore and Bridges have shared the screen since “Lebowski” debuted in 1998. The filmmakers were probably counting on a “Game of Thrones” connection, too - which is strange, since Kit Harington’s (Jon Snow of “Thrones”) character is killed off within the first five minutes, along with any hopes that the film would be anywhere near the same caliber.

“Seventh Son” is more in line with fantasy B-movies, such as “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” “Snow White and the Huntsman” and “Eragon,” which is also adapted from a book series that hoped to hit it big on the silver screen. The film seemed to hold hope that “Seventh Son” would spawn an adapted series, similar in style to “The Lord of the Rings,” but director Sergei Bodrov falls far short of that epic franchise. “ Seventh Son” is based on the medieval fantasy novel “The Last Apprentice: Revenge of the Witch,” the first in a series by Joseph Delaney. They plan to foil her vague diabolical plan after a Blood Moon increases her power - at least that’s what the trailers would have you believe. This fact leads the last legendary Spook (a skilled fighter of supernatural evil), Master Gregory (Jeff Bridges), to find Tom, train him and aid him in his destiny of stopping the evil witch queen, Mother Malkin (Julianne Moore). It’s supposed to be what makes him special. Tom Ward (Ben Barnes) is the seventh son of a seventh son.
