Simply Perfect

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Wow people are incredibly critical for what was a TV movie. It was a good movie. It might not have been the best I've ever seen. But it was solid enough.It had good actors. The plot and character development could have been more, but you can't expect perfection from a TV movie.It had suspense with a certain amount of surprise. Decent direction, good special effects.The movie ended with me wanting more.To all the people saying the story has been done before.... sure there's similarities. Once Upon a Time, Indiana Jones, The Liberians, Warehouse 13, etc. But most stories have been done before and redone into something else. This story was original enough that it was boring.

This film takes what used to be an interesting idea and makes it sooo boring.First, the three main ideas have been more than done beforefairy tales are real - Once Upon a Time anyone?relic hunters that discover items with magical properties... Come on! Indiana Jones, Lara Croft, the TV series Relic Hunter etc... teenagers with issues finding themselves on their quest to save the worldThe whole plot line is silly: Some group of bad guys might be after this powerful item broken into 5 pieces (4 shards and the mirror) so the good guys go and find it for them?! Then, hot-chick-who-can-kick-ass-but-can't-use-products-until- Pantene-saves-her-from-split-ends appears just at the perfect moment. The hunters left clues and maps to find the shards in the first place! The boys discover the 'big' family secret and then go and spill the beans to their family friend. Know the meaning of SECRET?The impressive hunter, the Mum, can't think of how to make a sound when her children are in the other room? And she manages to untie herself only hours later in what seems a very strange move.I stopped watching at the incredibly boring and silly 'cat' fight in the hanger ...

this is fun to watch if you like adventure movies like "The librarian" and "Indiana Jones", the acting is terrible but it is entertaining nonetheless.I recommend watching "The librarian" instead but if there is nothing else to watch on your play list go ahead and give it a go.like i said before, the acting is terrible and the writing poor. The choice of weapons by the villains is also questionable, Crossbows? and why does Interpol have a terrible German accent? The children are written extremely poor and snobby. On to another review Stefan

"Terry and the Pirates" meets "The Da Vinci Code"! Just plain fun! Let's have more…Victor Garber transform himself from a master of rectitude as the Canadian Ambassador in "Argo" to a master of evil as a delicious villain in "The Hunters." Plenty of action and exotic settings for characters who are a cross between comic-book Superheros and the boy and girl next door who find themselves in a fantasy world which becomes all-too-real. Twists, turns, and surprises galore! The stereotypical characters are appropriately stereotypical, while the main protagonists are appropriately human. I had a smile on my face for the whole movie, but for different reasons each time the plot turned. Overall, just plain fun.
