I saw the movie Friday night.....animation, character artist effect, plot, etc. were exceedingly good!!!
But I don't consider it a 'whole family picture'....
...maybe I'm a bit sensitive, but I think it too intense and extreme for say....6 and under, or even 7, 8, depending on the maturity of your child.
At one point, the mom warns her 2 kids to be careful (while she runs to find dad).....as there are people out there who will kill you.
I also noticed several times, the dialogue included Oh my G-d"....
I've never heard this in a children's type movie before.
As an adult, I thought it well made enough.....would not recommend it to just anyone, animated or not.
One of the things I noticed is that people actually die. Not only do they refer to the long list of dead superheroes, but the henchmen don't jump out at the last minute. The comic villain is much less comic with such death. Still I very much liked it. I'd say the target was probably greater than 8 years old.
My brother and sil have talked to friends who said the same thing.
For a post September 11 action-adventure cartoon, I thought this was *highly* appropriate. There were no network or studio censors clipping out scenes of falling buildings and people that day. Kids know that what this character says in this movie is absolutely *true.*
Well, yeah. It's not G rated. It's PG. You'd be irresponsible to bring a small child to this movie.
