I understand they are kids books, so is Harry Potter. If the movie was really wanted to target the small kids they should have omitted much of the battle scenes...far to violent for the little ones. They didn't so I assumed they wanted to target an older audience.

CS Lewis books, like the movie, target the 8-12 demographic (the movie is true to the book). Tolkien, like Rowling, targeted age 8 to adult.

Yes, it was a kid's version of Braveheart.

My four year old daughter didn't mind so much though. She was caught up in the fighting.
