I have one thing to say about this: it sucks. I didn't even read the book. The plot is stupid, the action is stupid the characters are bland, the effects are stupid, the villain is one of the worst that I ever saw, and the worst is Alexander ludwig. yeah. I hate him. I just hate that obnoxious acting of his, I hate the characters that he is and I think that they should stop doing stupid movies like this.
They had to make it cheesy and American, didn't they? That's why I never saw this movie. I hope they remake it one day because these books have such potential to be made into amazing movies.
a lot of films follow the same knda story line as harry potter ( i know this was a book first and was adapted) but dot writers have any orignal ideas anymore
Like I said 2 months ago great movie enjoyed every minute of it and everyone that is made at this movie because it isn't the book get over it remember it's BASED on the book it's NOT the book just like Percy Jackson ive read every book and I loved the movie so gtf over it and just enjoy the damn movie for what it has to offer
im in the middle of this book and seeing this trailer just made me angry!! they changed so much from the book, they werent even aloud to CALL IT "The Dark is Rising"
Having read the book this movie is based on, I can safely say that this is one of the worst mutilations of an adaptation in recent memory. The book felt chilling and mystical, as if you were stepping into a frozen dream in ancient Britain. This just felt like a cheap summer blockbuster released in autumn. :P It was not only a bad adaptation, but also cliche and dimwitted, like Spiderman meets Harry Potter. It has none of the book's intelligence or suspense, or even it's beautiful imagery.
It also doesn't help that Alexander Ludwig is a thoroughly unlikeable actor. The character he played was annoying enough, but Ludwig's bitchy and whiny performance just pissed me off. Even while I was watching I just wanted to throw him under the horse's hooves.
@weirdie97 I imagine you could find it at Borders or Barnes and Noble under the title "The Dark is Rising", or bar that, it could be at your local library.
hehe, yeah these corny stuff really are not my genre...
Fantasy movies like these are such crap they can't even win 2 oscars. Tolkiens "Lord of the rings" won 17 oscars... Speaking of genre, I guess your genre fails and mine does not. There is a difference between popularity among large masses and popularity among artistic elite.
of course, like Tolkien ( father of modern fantasy ) or Ghost in the shell or any Greek myth. Just not cliche crap like this one. Boy gets special powers and saves the world form evil, buahaha very creative...
Movie is bad because of cliche and kitsch. As usual some ordinary kid suddenly gets special powers and becomes a hero. I mean it's so sucky I can't even laugh anymore.
Concerning anime, there are anime for kids and anime for grown up, like with the movies. Above all else manga is respected because of it's artistic value and originality in art style. I guess you can't even understand the meaning of that.
hes hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i absolutely love him i saw race to witch mountian twice i wanna met him ive seen tis movie befor its good i think hes hotter when hes older !!! i looove you alex
Oh dear. I was soooo excited when I heard a movie of the book was going to be made - this looks shocking!! Might be OK for someone who has never read the book, but... Will was a Buckinghamshire boy, and certainly wasn't chatting up birds! Sigh... Poor Ms Cooper... Thanks for posting though, at least I know now..
boy with shit life gets told by strangers-->"you are the chosen one", you are the son of blaaa---> you must fight the evil we have been fighting forever--> only YOUUuu. can save the world. trains for 2 fuckin days and beats evil.
