It's important, when criticising some of the more clichéd elements here - the dark versus the light, the Tolkein parallels, the quests - to bear in mind that this film is aimed at older children, not your average jaded film critic.

a lot of shouting offered up as an ineffectual camouflage to the picture's complete lack of ambition.

A mealy adaptation of one installment in Susan Cooper's acclaimed book series.

Disappointing adaptation of a great kids' book.

A movie that should've been made shortly after its source material -- Susan Cooper's Newbery winner -- debuted in 1973. As is, it feels entirely too generic to work today.

The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising isn't an out and out bad film, there have certainly been worse films and recently, but it's not particularly good either, suffering from ill-conceived and executed story decisions that rob it of tension or interest.

A total dud.

Sloppy, lifeless storytelling so limp it guarantees no sequels will be made.

The acting is mediocre, the story rambles, the special effects -- average at best.

The Seeker is great-looking and well-acted, but unlike the Potter books and films, there's no sense that it's about anything more than the throwing-balls-of-smoke and mind-melding that we see onscreen.

Director David L. Cunningham's proffered chills are strictly of the lightweight variety: a menacing flock of ravens, a slimy skein of snakes and a couple of mall security yobs too fat or stupid to overpower even a spindly teenager.

Poor writing and production values like these bring no light to Cooper's novel -- or the audience.
