The Seeker: Dim Light

Magic movies have always been my favorite. No, I always like that ancient and magical fantasy adventure. Magic is the fantasy of magic; magic is the summoning of magic.

Therefore, The Seeker is undoubtedly the movie I am most looking forward to this October.

The Seeker's subtitle is The Dark is Rising. Judging by the poster, it was rather disappointing. The Seeker clearly stated the identity of the protagonist, while The Dark is Rising explained the theme of the movie, making it even more obvious: this is just the first song, there are a few more to come! It is also an adaptation of a novel. In my heart, the only thing that can be called a classic is "The Lord of the Rings".

Watching this movie, everything seems to be going on inside my own consciousness. Occasional waves that make it feel slightly different. In fact, it's just a type of movie with a change of clothes.

First of all, the background of the story is quickly reminiscent of the following series of developments - the little boy is the designated seeker, he does not want to believe that he is but he is, the girl who falls in love at first sight is actually the tool of the enemy, the experience After a series of thrilling adventures, "everything is ready, only the east wind is owed", and finally when it is on the verge of extinction, it is enlightened and overcomes the darkness...

In addition, the film has many shortcomings in explaining the plot, perhaps because it is the original novel. The story feels vague and doesn't even know what the film is doing. The dark knight's power will be greatly increased in five days. Unprovoked, why? The four light messengers said at the beginning of the stock market that the dark knight could not fight them, but the film did not depict their superb magic at all, leaving me with the image of the light messenger Miss Greythorne playing a handsome dagger, and four more A messenger who is trapped by a group of snakes and finds it difficult to ask for help. Also, the girl that Will Stanton fell in love with at first sight walked too quietly and lacked what she should have.

In terms of casting, the actor of the role of Rider is less ruthless, but the light messenger is also a listless spirit. The protagonist is quite satisfactory.

The whole film lacks the tension it should have, and it plays very imperfectly, so the score is deducted for the degree of excitement. This has a lot to do with the film being only 1 hour 38 minutes long. If the script had been revised better, the result would have been different.

As the saying goes: the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. If the standard is lowered, it can still be tasted, entertaining and leisurely.
