Le septième fils

« Vraiment, tout concourt au ratage. »

« Much as Bridges carries the character of Tom through trials and tribulations in the wilderness, he too carries the entire film. Without him, there would be no Seventh Son. »

« Seventh Son is just another big screen attempt to create yet another franchise (...). »

« What's left is certainly watchable but far from memorable, and though a closing scene leaves things open for a sequel, business realities may decide otherwise. »

« Ultimately, Seventh Son has the cluttered feel of an over-designed, under-conceived fantasy epic. »

« Seventh Son aspires to the same majesty — and box office — as the Lord of the Rings films, but it's so clumsily made and creakily written it's hard to imagine that happening. »

« Once the plot dominoes are arranged in an overlong series of setups, Seventh Son ends up being a movie about walking, interrupted occasionally by a battle against a mythological monster. »

« A towering cinematic achievement? Hardly. But not entirely unsatisfying if this particular genre itch needs some scratching. »

« Les dialogues sont lamentables. L'intrigue, elle, est boiteuse. Rien ne fonctionne dans le récit. »

« Seventh Son déçoit énormément, mais ce n'est ni une surprise, ni complètement prévisible. »
