An average movie

Before watching this flick, to be honest, I thought it would be completely terrible. I mean, it has been years since Renny Harlin has directed anything really impressive and the whole concept seemed rather lame to me. The funny thing is that they obviously tried to make some kind of Harry Potter clone but with some older characters but like most of what Renny Harlin does, it ended up being a flop. The funny thing is that with 'Twilight', which was released only a few years later, they pretty much went for the same concept but, this time, they had some major success. Anyway, to my surprise, it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be, as a matter of fact, my wife really enjoyed it (she completely refuses to get some more education concerning movies.... What can I do?!?). Of course, it was still nothing great whatsoever but I honestly thought that it remained watchable. To conclude, it is an average story, with some average acting and directing but, still, there are worse ways to spend 90 minutes. In this case, you should probably watch it at your own risk but you should definitely not expect anything really amazing.
