This is sort of a Harry Potter clone. It has flying witches, talking animals, everything including a "demon" which changes to and from a cat. The characters call them "demons" but they are really companion animal "spirits." The writers must've had a bad day. I can understand why people, especially children, didn't like it. It's difficult for clones to be successful.
I wasn't surprised when I looked up the Box Office numbers and saw it was more or less a flop. Hopefully foreign and DVD sales will help it break even. I was surprised that it cost $180M! Where did all the money go? Sometimes I think famous actors/actresses are paid WAY too much. Frankly, I think movies can be made just as well with lessor known actors for 1/10 the pay.
When I saw the ending, I knew there might not be a sequel. So my response was: "That's it?! Where's the rest?!" LOL That's unfortunate because the movie really isn't that bad. It tells a story which keeps you interested enough to see the ending. I looked up Nicole Kidman's and Dakota Blue Richards's filmographies and I see no projects to make a sequel so I guess that's the end of it.
I think the producers should have been less ambitious. They should have hired lesser known actors and kept the budget smaller. This way, it would have been easier to achieve a profit and therefore complete the ending.
Just my 2¢. 7 out of 10 stars.
