Critics Consensus

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

Weird how this movie never achieved what it should have. Great cast, excellent special effects and you can tell there is some kind of story there. But for some reason the writing was off. It just wasn't very interesting. If you're a fan of fantasy movies and like these actors, you could very well like this movie. It's not offense, it's just not particularly compelling in any way. On the contrary, it's fairly formulaic. Made me wish I was watching The Big Lebowski instead.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

For 2015 excellent movie if you like the genre. Good graphics/special effects and the creatures are cool.

This movie is extremely loosely based on one of my favorite novel series the Wardstone Chronicles. From the very first 2 scenes I was already incensed by then incredible injustice this movie puts on to call themselves based on these books. Like the Batman vs Superman movie of a similar time the production company mush have flipped through the first 5 books or so and just grabbed words they thought to be cool. The characters in this film are only based on the book characters by name alone there is no further resemblance. Universal and Legendary films failed this series and I wish for a tv reboot in the future to redeem this franchise and shine the light that Joseph Delaney deserves on this series.

Actually this movie was great. The acting was excellent from most characters (certainly the lead Ben Barnes gave a heartfelt performance). The SFX were decent. The little jokes were fun. Yes it was cheesy and full of cliché. But its fantasy and as such, a little cheese and cliché is expected. I loved it. So did my kids. So did my husband.

It's a very good motion picture with charming half-witch by Alicia Vikander...with a villain, Julianne Moore...

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.

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.

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.

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
