The Spiderwick Chronicles (Razorsharp)



Have to say that I rate this fantasy flick quite highly, it actually goes to some surprisingly dark places (for a family flavoured adventure movie) and it does a pretty good job of convincing you that the protagonists lives, at times, really are in danger.

The special effects are well designed & executed (the best of which are probably those that convinced this particular viewer that it was two actors playing the brothers rather than just the one), there's a fair amount of enjoyable set pieces & it concludes with a satisfying (albeit slightly emotional) ending.

Razorback Rating = Very Decent

This blog represents an ongoing list of flicks watched by my good self. Every movie viewed will be awarded one of seven ratings ('Unmissable', 'Superb', 'Very Decent', 'Decent', 'Decent Enough', 'Watchable' & finally 'Worthless') and any flick that falls under one of the first three ratings categories will also be awarded 'Razorsharp' status (which means it's pretty much a 'must see' movie in my not so humble opinion).
