Critics Consensus: The magic of the book is lost in translation with The Seeker, due to its clumsy plot and lack of heart.

Reviews

Gone With The Twins

Mike Massie

One in a long line of films that made one irredeemable, incalculable mistake: it didn't beat Harry Potter to the theater.

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

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

St. Paul Pioneer Press

Chris Hewitt

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.
