I live in Lancaster and the author of the spooks apprentice books (which this film is based upon) hates what they have done to his creation. I spoke to him at one of his regular book signing sessions and he spoke of his disappointment at how little they've derived from the original books, despite one of the best actors in the world being in the film Read the books instead, much better than this bloated CGI infested nonsense. I could barely understand what Geoff bridges was saying and true fans will understand why it was so ridiculous that the spooks apprentice fell in love with the witch.garbage

I absolutely love the books I got the first one when I was seven and from then I bought them or got them as presents, I remember always saying to my parents I wish they would make a movie so when they did I was over the moon...Then when I watched it I was very disappointed it was nothing like the books. This movie had dragons and nowhere in any of the books is there a Dragon, also in the movie it portrays the spook as an alcoholic Which he is not, all in all very disappointed.

Nothing compared to the books. After five minutes I turned it off, the
spook only drank once in all the books why the hell would they start it in
a pub!
