Goofs:
Continuity: When the Christmas tree is being delivered about fifteen minutes in, the tree outside the house is very thick and full and about ten feet tall, and appears so as they are trying to jam it through the front door. When bringing it down the stairs, though, the tree trunk is much thinner and is much shorter, inferring that the bottom half of the tree was lopped off to make the scene more manageable. more

Oh dear what a waste....., 15 October 2007
1/10
Author: philwho-2 from United Kingdom

Like many it seems I dreamt of seeing The Dark is Rising on the big screen. Such depth, such scope. With such a true adaptation of the narnia classic already achieved I couldn't wait to view the trailer.... Oh dear oh dear oh dear. Is this really based on Susan Coopers book? What I remember as a powerful novel, full of magic, good versus evil and suspense bears no resemblance to the movie. What a waste of time and effort.

I can't believe for one moment that Susan Cooper has authorised this movie which is supposed to be based on her book. I just hope that people new to this series will want to read the books if the first taste they have is this abysmal looking film.

It seems the studio which produced this film have come up with the golden goose egg of formulas for those too stupid to appreciate the myths and legends in the book. Of course they would change his name from Jack to Jaqueline and get rid of the bean stalk for a rocket to the stars. Oh and not to forgot replacing the giant with a basketball player. But hey all in the name of making a quick buck.....
