1 - 6 (sorted by date; UK critics are listed first)
Top CriticWhilst missing a trick in terms of script and casting, at least they've amped up the action from the somewhat sedate book.

Top CriticNicely put together, but just a little dull.

Top CriticIt's not quite a disaster but this disappointing and poorly executed fantasy adventure never reaches the level of magic and enchantment it needs to succeed.

Top CriticApart from some wooden over-acting, The Secret of Moonacre is a shrewd mix of live action and exotic animation by the Hungarian director Gabor Csupo.
