The Spiderwick Chronicles
If it was possible to translate a heavy sigh into writing, I would do so here. It’s not that this film is bad, just that since the advent Buy altace online of Harry Potter it has become fashionable to make movies based on children’s books about orphans discovering magical powers or worlds. The credit that I can give to such films (for example The Chronicles of Narnia and A Series of Unfortunate Events) is that the books on which they were based were published either before or at the same time as the Harry Potter series was gaining international popularity. The Spiderwick Chronicles however, though moderately entertaining, simply falls short of the mark that its monumental predecessors have set.
The formula for all of these films, and for a vast majority of folktales, is that of a group of children, featuring an orphaned boy, discovering something magical and engaging in a quest of some description. The Spiderwick Chronicles is no exception. The hero of the tale, Jared, is misunderstood by his family and thus not believed when he claims to have stumbled onto a book that details the workings of a hidden world full of mythical creatures. Jared gains the help of a few of these creatures in defeating an evil ogre whose wrath Jared has incurred.
For those who haven’t read the books, The Spiderwick Chronicles may be a bit of a disappointment, and though it is clearly geared toward children, there are some scenes that may be a tad scary for anyone under the age of 7 0r 8. One redeeming quality the film may have, for those who are familiar with such things, is that some of the artwork that illustrates Jared’s field guide is delightfully Brian Froud-esque. However, those who are familiar with Froud’s work may be even more disappointed in the portrayal of creatures such as Brownies and Red Caps. Overall, The Spiderwick Chronicles just left something to be desired. I think it may have been originality.
