Review For The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising
Director David L. Cunningham's proffered chills are strictly of the lightweight variety: a menacing flock of ravens, a slimy skein of snakes and a couple of mall security yobs too fat or stupid to overpower even a spindly teenager.Bruce Demara-Toronto Star
A 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.
Gregory Kirschling-Entertainment Weekly
The acting is mediocre, the story rambles, the special effects -- average at best.
Richard Roeper-Ebert & Roeper
Poor writing and production values like these bring no light to Cooper's novel -- or the audience.
Desson Thomson-Washington Post
Cooper presented this rather basic good/evil mythos in more low-key, atmospheric form than the film allows, leaving thesps (particularly McShane) having to poker-face their way through lines like, 'The future of the human race rests on you!'
Dennis Harvey-Variety
The movie ultimately emerges as a lackluster tale of teenage empowerment and doesn't fully conjure the requisite sense of magical escape necessary to truly captivate and immerse us in the tale.
Claudia Puig-USA Today
The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising isn't an out and out bad film, there have certainly been worse films and recently, but it's not particularly good either, suffering from ill-conceived and executed story decisions that rob it of tension or interest.
Joshua Starnes-ComingSoon.net
a lot of shouting offered up as an ineffectual camouflage to the picture's complete lack of ambition.
Walter Chaw-Film Freak Central
Just pop this movie on right before nap time and you got yourself a successful sleep aide.
Michael Ferraro-Bronsonfive
Sloppy, lifeless storytelling so limp it guarantees no sequels will be made.
David Cornelius-DVDTalk.com
Harry Potter-lite which ought to appeal to 12 year olds . . .
James O'Ehley-Sci-Fi Movie Page
The 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.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press
It's important, when criticising some of the more clichéd elements here - the dark versus the light, the Tolkein parallels, the quests - to bear in mind that this film is aimed at older children, not your average jaded film critic.
Amber Wilkinson-Eye for Film
Disappointing adaptation of a great kids' book.
Carrie R. Wheadon-Common Sense Media
Not-too-impressive CG effects and frenetic camera work but cannot mask what is--or, rather, what isn't there.
Michael Dequina-TheMovieReport.com
The excessive strobe effects may trigger epileptic fits, but the movie itself will induce narcolepsy.
Jamie Russell-thelondonpaper
An orgy of portents that runs out of oomph.
Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph
By Americanising the hero and grotesquely distorting the plot, they can only alienate the fan-base and confuse the newcomer.
Robert Hanks-Independent
A moderate Potter-teen fantasy about an American kid who comes to little old England with his family (dad's on some kind of academic posting) to find that he is the boy-king leader of a group of supernatural warriors.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]
An uncanny and unholy blend of The Fifth Element, The Sixth Sense and The Seventh Seal.
Karl French-Financial Times
The Dark is Rising is one of those awful sorcery tales where a spotty young boy (Alexander Ludwig) suddenly gets to save the Earth from supernatural creeps such as Christopher Eccleston.
James Christopher-Times [UK]
Not very likely to seize that Potter market, this is a disappointing film that starts out okay but goes rapidly downhill, thanks to rudimentary characterisation and storytelling that's designed more to accommodate gratuitous action.
Daniel Etherington-Film4
