The Seeker (The Dark is Rising)
one of the recent spate of films attempting to cash in on the Harry Potter/Young Adult Fantasy wave.
Based on the book by Susan Cooper..
Competently made with a couple of likeable characters .. it just didn't have the groceries to get out from under the shadow of the bigger more successful films. Very predictable and blah ending.
I didn't dislike it - but i sure didnt think it was great.
the H. Potters still lead the genre, followed by ... oh Spiderwick i guess, then the Golden Compass (for the polar bears and set design only), then The Seeker ... in that order (for me)
as always - in a hurry to make a buck, Hollywood is going to bleed this one dry.
