A fine new addition to the library of imaginative children's film fantasy.

1/5

Writer/director Juan Pablo Buscarini manages the occasional cute touch and pleasing art deco designs in this made-on-the-cheap children's fantasy, where the special effects are poor and the starved imagination can only feed on J.K. Rowling's dust.

The plot might be a bit labyrinthian for kids, but, then, the young ones always do manage to find their way, don't they.

Board-game themed fantasy has bullying, violence.

You know what? The Games Maker is 111 minutes long but would take as least twice as long to explain.

This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It's a big mess and to me was super confusing. I didn't even make it all the way through this movie and I'll definitely never watch this again. This movie is a waste of your time, watch something worthwhile. 0/5 stars

Somewhere, under layers and layers of added on faux European style and needless complexity is a fairly simple plot. Watching, you feel compelled to like it because of it's artistic efforts. But the efforts don't really go anywhere and I was left with the feeling that I'd watched more of an homage to other films than an actual film itself. Don't, whatever you do, get up to go to.the toilet or to put the kettle on during it. You'll come back and will.have lost the plot entirely. Joseph Fiennes looks more like his brother with each passing day. Unlike his brother however, his career in films is on a downwards trajectory for some reason. You wouldn't see Ralph in something like this.
