Thumbnail review: the Seeker
mood: 
blah
blahSo, as planned, went to see The Seeker this afternoon along with some friends.
As predicted, it bore little resemblance to the book The Dark Is Rising. I only read the series as an adult, so I wasn't as bothered by that as people who have childhood memories to be tarnished. Some of the changes made sense, some seemed wholly random. I can say that the fears about the Stantons being "dynfunctional" turned out to be overstated - the family struck me as fairly normal, with the only major problem being Dark-instigated. Overall, it's not a bad movie, but not terribly inspired, either.
