Best movie of this year hands down!
Wonderfully offbeat film!
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Not recommend watching.Oh really!!! Not recommend watching.too bad, I tried to watch, but not bad ..cast and terrible script, weapons are a joke ...the idea of the film is good, but unfocused and low budget, leasing It seems that they are always on the same site, the fights are very bad, summarizing the movie and bad and bad more deserve less than 1 vote ...Not recommend watching.They tried but failed. and I think it was done in a single weekend.lousy actors are there who can act and children and his girlfriend left the direct twilight missed the werewolf and vampire top modelsI tried to watch and I had to stop after 25 minutes of bad movieand really do not recommend watching.
Two brothers discover that they are hereditary Hunters, and end up searching for shards of the magic mirror from Snow White.This must have looked good enough on paper to be greenlit, but something went wrong on its way to the screen, and it wasn't the cast, who are fine.The script is lacklustre, the action is dull (there are a number of Indiana Jones-lite sequences which offer no thrills at all), the production values are underwhelming and, despite a pleasing friction in the dynamic between the potentially romantic couple, there is little chemistry between them. And the film is filled with illogicality and nonsense.This was not very good.
Well you can't blame the failure of this film to take off on the cast, because they were a capable and experienced cast, even the younger actors. However, they are given absolutely nothing to sink their teeth into. Everything about the flick is just watered down and meandering. If this had been a Disney or Hub flick it would have worked, or even if upgraded to a full blown fantasy flick, it would have worked, but it feels completely like this is a first draft and not a full fleshed film. The script is thin with stick figure characters, clotted with toss off explanations to move the story and beyond cliché plot points (the Asian assassin was almost painful to watch). Everything it had going for it is wasted.Complete and total lack of backstory. It would have been great to know how Tripp's techie skills and Pax's fighting skills had previously reared their heads, it was screaming for some actual examples of the fairytale items in modern times, and someone with a much cleverer wit to punch up the one liners. It seems like the money ran out somewhere, but there was no going back to get a good finished product. The cast did what they could with what they had.
From the title, it's hard to predict what this movie is all about. Based on the title, I had an open mind. I have only one thing to say, I was pleasantly surprised! This is a great and thrilling movie for everyone. I absolutely love how many things are going on in this film. There is comedy, romance, action, adventure, thrilling scenes, a great and engaging story line and, of course, a puzzle to solve. The adventure begins when three people are looking for some artifacts to build a legendary item. When one turns on the others, all goes wrong. The two kids of the couple who are searching for this item and their friend go on an epic adventure to save the world and their parents. If you want to find out if the parents are OK and if they were successful in their quest, you have to watch the film. This film brings so many perks. It has great actors and excellent direction. The camera-work is totally impressive. There are so many actions - climbing and jumping and even some scary stuff. But, the picture is very clear and the storyline easy to follow. I have to say that my favorite scene is when the older brother discovers his little brother has skipped school and is very mad at him. I can greatly appreciate this scene. It has brotherly love or, as I call it "bromance." It's extremely funny and will hit home with many viewers. I recommend this movie to ages 8 to 18 because it is very intense film. I give it 5 out of t stars and wouldn't be surprised if they eventually turn this movie into a series. I know I will be looking out for that. Reviewed by KIDS FIRST! Film Critic Gerry O.
