“Be prepared for the worst, but hope for the best.” This proverb became widely known thanks to a humorous song that Mel Brooks co-wrote and contributed to the soundtrack of one of his funniest movies, “The Twelve Chairs,” which was released in 1970. It’s a useful sentiment in general, but for a film critic, it’s something that applies most particularly in the first two months of the new year, which, at least in terms of studio product, represent a dumping ground for problematic product or just plain unmarketable dreck.

The film “Seventh Son,” which is directed by Sergei Bodrov and is a medieval fantasy story with a strong Young Adult emphasis in its plotting (not surprising, as it’s based on a Young Adult book, the first of three so far featuring the same characters, as is the thing these days), was moved not once, but twice from its original release date in the United States, and it now finds itself occupying a date in the aforementioned dumping ground. As a result, one But, surprise! One does not want to give the impression that they are giving the movie a positive review by saying “it’s not that bad,” but in all honesty, that is probably the most objectively accurate description of the movie. But what about subjectively? This reviewer, who is an unabashed fan of the myth-mash-up monster movies of the 1950s and 1960s that featured a plethora of stop-motion-animated monsters and other such things, found himself rather enjoying more than a few portions of the movie, which indeed features a plethora of computer-animated monsters that at least seem to have been inspired by the work of such old-school tech masters as Ray Harryhausen. This reviewer found himself rather enjoying more than

The fact that Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore are playing the adult leads in the film is yet another selling point for it. Moore plays a near-omnipotent witch who plans to use the once-in-a-century “night of the blood moon” to make herself completely omnipotent. Bridges plays a righteous witch-hunting “spook” (he’s also a Knight of some secret sacred order or another) in the film, while Bridges plays a character who is a Knight of some secret sacred order or another. Obviously, a romantic history connects these two characters with one another. They do, without a doubt. Since every other film critic who writes about this movie is going to make some kind of joke along the lines of “I didn’t think the sequel to ‘Big Lebowski’ would be THIS weird,'” I’ll spare you my effort and just say that I didn’t think the sequel to ‘Big Lebowski’ would be THAT weird. Even if Bridges’ mumble-mouthed, grizzled hero is more like his “True Grit” Rooster Coburn crossed with Richard Harris in “Camelot,” had Richard Harris been 70 in “Camelot,” it is nevertheless a pleasure to see The Dude and Maude in a clinch once more. To put it another way, it is an extremely peculiar performance, but why not? Moore, on the other hand, has such a stunning appearance and moves with such menacing grace that it is almost possible to trick yourself into thinking that her transformation into a dragon is not an optical illusion.

About the quiz
The young adult aspect is provided by the spook’s new apprentice, the titular seventh son Tom Ward (Ben Barnes), who, of course, falls in love with a teen witch (more accurately, a half-witch; the condition of half-witchdom plays an important although entirely predictable part in the plot), who is the daughter of Moore’s right-hand witch. The typical complications take place, but it’s pretty easy to gloss over them if you just want to focus on the guys fighting man-bears, multi-armed swordsmen, and a bald-pated guy who can make ax blades out of his hands when he’s not being a dragon. The standard complications take place, but they’re pretty easy to gloss over. The film “Seventh Son” builds up the goofy charm of an old-school Saturday afternoon matinee at such points, and particularly during a cliff-diving and waterfall scene in which Tom goes up against a very stubborn giant. You can find out why by looking at the “tech credits,” as industry insiders refer to them: the effects were designed by original “Star Wars” guy John Dykstra, and the sumptuous art direction was done by Dante Ferretti, who has worked magic for the likes of Fellini, De Palma, and Scorsese. The fact that it can be finished in significantly less than two hours and features Olivia Williams and Djimon Hounsou, both of whom are valuable additions to the supporting cast, is a major plus. A monumental accomplishment in the world of film? Hardly. But not completely unsatisfying, especially if you have an itch that needs to be scratched in this particular genre.Also, you must try to play this Seventh Son quiz.
