This movie followed the book to a point, then developed an entirely new ending. My 10 year old daughter loves the books ,but the movie freaked her out and my husband took her out of the theater halfway through. The books have a much better ending. Acting was good.
I thought it was great fun. Sets and special effects were awesome. Just the right touch of Tim.
Good movie. A little draggy in the middle. As for being scary for children...I don't think so...however younger children might be bored. It is always nice to watch a movie with no vulgar language.
I cant believe people are saying this movie is scary for kids!! That's hilarious to me...it weird...but in the Wonderful Tim Burton way!!! Awesome movie my kids loved it and so did I ....but for parents whining about it being too scary for young children, it is rated PG-13...hello???
Loved this movie!!!! Tim Burton-ish movies are always fantastic and this one is one of my new favorites
We enjoyed about 15 min of the movie. The rest was boring. Don't waste your money. Pick a different movie instead.
Very scary , not for kids at all . 8&10 year old were freaked out . Had to leave hoping they didn't have nightmares. Disappointing. PG is not the appropriate rating. Should have looked into further.
Love it.
Burton's best since Dark Shadows.
Not suitable for young children, 6 yr. old needed to leave theatre but the 10 & 11 yr. old grandkids liked it. For myself, not great & I normally love Tim Burton movies.
