Critics Consensus

Seventh Son squanders an excellent cast and some strange storyline ingredients, leaving audiences with one disappointingly dull fantasy adventure.

Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

You have to admire a movie which takes a gold-star cast (Julianne Moore, Jeff Bridges, Alicia Vikander) and creates such an unpolishable turd.

Rated: 1/5

Geoffrey Macnab

Independent (UK)

Oscar-winners Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore deliver two of the hammiest performances of their distinguished careers in Sergei Bodrov's overcooked sword-and-sorcery fantasy.

Rated: 2/5

Wendy Ide

Times (UK)

It's a real problem when one of your leading characters sounds like a cross between Bane, the masked mutterer from The Dark Knight Rises, and a man competing in a hard-boiled-egg-eating contest.

If anyone needs proof of the "Oscar curse", here's Exhibit A.

It's also near impossible to enjoy this movie without visions of Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones dancing through your head.

Seventh Son is a pretty by-the-book fantasy tale. The young apprentice storyline is a common one, so there aren't a lot of surprises when it comes to the plot. For me...it depends on the execution, and this is where I think the movie succeeds...mostly

An entertaining albeit unoriginal & fairly bland fantasy tale, only made a good time with some decent effects work & solid performances.

I don’t care why people gave this a bad rap For a 10 year old movie this is better than a lot of movies nowadays honestly, look at that stupid aliens requiem movie horrible lines, the girl said while a whole full grown alien in site to the robot we could have said her how, but this cgi in this is better then a lot of movies nowadays honestly that’s why in the past 2 3 years it’s been less cgi because most don’t get right at all, writings butt in most as well all that’s been good was the marvel movies and shows honestly, 3.5 for this in my opinion suck nasty butt if you don’t agree, and if don’t agree I don’t know what you was watching it for sure wasn’t this.

This film was so bad that it brought me back to Rotten Tomatoes just so I could give it a bad review. An impressively talented cast managed to come across as amateurs, playing completely unlikeable characters. I couldn't understand a word Jeff Bridges was saying, which was probably a blessing as the rest of the dialogue was terrible. The effects were dodgy, the cinematography was dire and the sound was all over the place. Massive waste of time.
