The Seventh Son (February 6)

How can a movie starring Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore fail so hard? Call it The Seventh Son, make it all about magic and poor CGI, place it sometime in the medieval times (or some similar mythical period), and throw the project to an unknown director. Pretty interesting? Not so much.

Seventh Son benefited from a respectable budget of $95 million (without marketing, of course), which brought in $114 million worldwide and some of the worst reviews of the year. Even the critics who actually didn’t mock the movie said that Seventh Son is best enjoyed when having no brain at all.

And the fault doesn’t lay just with the director and the cheesy script. Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore delivered the hammiest performances in their entire careers. This was a movie which couldn’t be enjoyed, from the beginning until the very end.

So what went wrong? Everything – from the common tropes to the mediocre CGI and to the performances, Seventh Son was a total bust.
