The Spiderwick Chronicles

Who doesn’t love a good fantasy film, these days most of them are based on a book series. This movie is no exception and I was amused by the trailers I saw for it. It was good and still left plenty up to imagination as to what it was about. I had wanted to see the movie, but I think it would’ve been a little difficult to find someone to go with me. I was enough to win some passes to an advanced screening of this movie, and I do admit I wish I had posted this then, but now is still okay. I knew going into the film that it was not recommended for younger children, and that it contained frightening images, what I didn’t know, was that some of those same images were even a little scary to me.

Our story is about child adolescence and the belief in something amazing. Two brothers and their sister after moving to a house in the middle of nowhere and discover a world their great great Uncle or something discovered, and has the info that could destroy the good. The one unleashes the secret with a book, and so the story continues as we learn all about the secret world and the good and the evil.

I was very impressed with this movie, it had a good story line and had awesome creative aspects in the fantasy creatures in the movie. I was scared for some parts of it, and also impressed with the movie.

I recommend this movie to anyone who like a fantasy film, it has its good moments its great moments and a couple of cheesey ones too.

I give it 4 IceCream Scoops out of 5
Rated PG for scary creature action and violence, peril and some thematic elements.
