A fantasy, slightly Potter-esque fight between good and evil film becomes the 28th film on my list. At the rate I'm going I'm beginning to think that 50 may be a more realistic target for this year. Anyway, back to the film at hand. The critics hated it but I quite liked it.
The whole premise was simple but time-tested, an ultimate fight between good and evil, light and dark. The person who had to lead the fight was a 14 year old boy, the seventh son of a seventh sun (supposedly magical). The film was paced well but ultimately the main flaw was that it was just too simple.
Too many major revelations were telegraphed badly, and it was too easy to keep up with. The whole film didn't have the complexity to move it beyond a decent film to a good or very good one.
