StubbyDetto Harrison Ford wouldn't be able to save this film. This was a cheap version of Indiana Jones but with no Indiana Jones. I think the film was going for clever and amusing but didn't quite get there. Robbie & Alexa are likable in anything they're in. They are pretty and pleasant and keep the film somewhat watchable. They also have good chemistry. This film could've been good if it had better writing & less cheese. The story wasn't too good either. I really couldn't get passed the ridiculousness to enjoy the movie. At least Robbie is cute and Alexa has good hair. This was a huge waste of Victor Garber's talents. I'm surprised he's in it as well as Robbie and Alexa. The mom acted too much like Jane Wayne. The villains could have been a little more intimidating versus Three Stooges like. There was definitely no reason for the good guys to be scared. All in all I did get through it so I gave them a solid 3 which is better than a walk away one.

Neil Welch Two brothers discover that they are hereditary Hunters, and end up searching for shards of the magic mirror from Snow White.This must have looked good enough on paper to be greenlit, but something went wrong on its way to the screen, and it wasn't the cast, who are fine.The script is lacklustre, the action is dull (there are a number of Indiana Jones-lite sequences which offer no thrills at all), the production values are underwhelming and, despite a pleasing friction in the dynamic between the potentially romantic couple, there is little chemistry between them. And the film is filled with illogicality and nonsense.This was not very good.

FTo1 OK first off, it wasn't totally awful. It was rather foolish. The production design was, well, nonexistent. The art direction was dreadful. That being said, there are some somewhat good performances from the actors. I mean a mediocre actor can even pull off something worthwhile with a fabulous script. By the same token, not even the most accomplished actor can do much with a terrible script.The premise was old. The script was really thin. The dialogue was silly. There was no character development. The direction was disjointed. I am pretty sure this was a TV pilot, especially with this choice of cast. Some of the rather cliché scenes support this notion as well, like the closing scene. Please! Every single TV pilot since the 70s has had a similar scene.It's not a complete waste of time...no. I would recommend DVRing it and FF through most of it.

dragonheart5500 I picked up this movie not knowing anything more about it than the short description on the back of the jacket. That being said I thought it sounded interesting, I pick up a lot of movies like this I'm not always as lucky as I was with this one.The movie was rich with subplots and the main plot itself was quite good. The idea that the items from fairy tales are real and that there is a secret society that collects and protects them without using them is intriguing. The acting was adequate and actually surprising better than anticipated. The locations were nice and went well with the script, not overly staged. I throughly enjoyed this movie!That being said, I truly felt that the idea behind this script deserved MORE. More everything, it left me feeling like I really wanted the next movie but yet felt more like the budget of a TV show. I think this could be an enjoyable main stream series of movies if there were just more meat to it. I mean, why do they carry crossbows instead of guns? I don't want to give too much out I'm just trying to make a point. This is a good movie but the story line has a lot of potential if they could just give it a little more soul.
