10 Truly Terrible Movies From The Game Of Thrones Cast

Rotten Tomatoes score: 13%

Harington appears surprisingly high up the cast list of this impressively starry slice of swords and sorcery nonsense, given he doesn't make it beyond the film's first act. Perhaps it was an attempt to get audiences to go with the ridiculousness of this knights, witches, and dragons story by recalling the more competently produced TV equivalent. Or perhaps this is just the material Harington is attracted to.

Either way, the late Jon Snow appears in the opening scenes as apprentice to Jeff Bridges' witch-hunting old knight before being swiftly dispatched by Julianne Moore's Maleficent-lite in order to make way for the eponymous septo-son (Prince Caspian's Ben Barnes) to take his place.

The film was directed by Mongol's Sergei Bodrov, who clearly has the skills to make large scale epics but hasn't always been so great on story. Seventh Son's certainly got style, but never settles on a clear tone and its muddled narrative is derivative of a bunch of bad '80s fantasy stereotypes that we had hoped the likes of Game Of Thrones had banished for good.

They said: "The dialogue in Seventh Son is dismal. The plotting is awkward. Nothing much works as storytelling. But even those problems are overshadowed by the accents - the source of much of the hilarity." (Toronto Sun)
