Seattle Post-Intelligencer
The books' magic was rooted in its ties to Arthurian legend and British folklore, grandiose elements which Cunningham and Hodge have stripped. - 63
Chicago Tribune
At its best, The Seeker is a pretty vivid fantasy book come-to-life; it does a decent, passable job of adding to the canon of kid-lit flicks. - 50
USA Today
Starts out with promise but staggers under the weight of trying to take on too much. The tone is murky: The story attempts to blend adolescent angst with fantasy adventure, and the result is rather clunky. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
The film plods along without a lot of excitement or inspiration. - 50
Variety
Slick, good-looking, cluttered pic won't please fans of novelist Susan Cooper's original "The Dark Is Rising" sequence. But then, they are mostly grown-ups by now, and this very Hollywood-style adaptation of a very English book is aimed squarely at tweens. - 50
The New York Times
Feels passé and lacks a charismatic lead. Too bad Daniel Radcliffe is an only child. - 50
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Whether you fully embrace the Harry Potter phenomenon or simply live with it, there's no question that J. K. Rowling is an imaginative story-spinner. The trouble is that she has ruined the field for the legions of the second-rate. - 40
Los Angeles Times
Dreary, spectacle-driven adaptation.
