Wonderful character development!
Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Blistering performances.
There aren't all that many fantastical genre movies with a 19th century setting. Even less that are original enough not to involve Sherlock Holmes, Dracula or such. So I certainly give The Adventurer points for being a truly new addition to cinematic Gaslight Fantasy and Steampunk. So if you love the Victorian period as well, the aesthetic of this film has something to offer you.Unfortunately as a whole it doesn't sit that well with me. It's so obviously based on a young adult novel that it's jarring to an older audience. There are family films capable of being loved by all ages, The Adventurer isn't one of these. The story isn't that strong and many characters behave cartoonishly. As the plot advanced I felt myself caring less and less. Still I do not regret watching it. But if you do see it, manage your expectations.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ONE!!! Great action adventure in this film! Well written adventure; a great family film without offensive language or sexual innuendo. Along lines of 3 of our favorite adventure movies, namely National Treasure, A Series of Unfortunate Events, and the Indiana Jones movies; but definitely full of surprises! This had a variety of scenes, all appealing in either their beauty or the curiosity factors they entailed. We felt this was both very well written and acted. It's unusual for me to find a movie that surprises me at all, so this one left me wanting much more. We look forward to a sequel as the end scene here hinted at one. Terrific movie!
This was one of the best children/family films I have had the pleasure to view for a very long time. Intelligent, witty, clever, unpredictable, white hat, black hat. Cinema topography excelled. Dialogue excelled. Plot excelled. I just needs a sequel. It takes place in a lush background, not to be deprived of beauty in the visual department in the whole film. Costumes are tops.1800's I believe. Magic and trickery abound. The children are seeking the Midas box .-- and they are lured into a dreadful situation They do have a mentor and they are sharp witted. This is truly worth watching and I plan to purchase. How I wish it was going to have the sequel!One Not to be missed for family viewing!.
adventure in pure form with seductive clothes. treasure, run, the magic of war between good and evil, inspired music and acting. a film for entire family joy, not different by trend but far to be disappointing. the mixture- Victorian atmosphere, one of Ancient myths reference, a good acting and children is real seductive. and that could not represent a surprise. sure, it is just entertainment but that is its basic virtue. it is not original but the use of ordinary references does it interesting. a shining movie . that is all. fight scenes, secrets, courage and adorable characters. a clear purpose and a lot of events. so, see it !
