Wendi Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I think your girls are too young for it. In addition to the Elizabethan language which can make it hard to follow, there are battle scenes with blood, and a scene showing the dead bodies of children who were killed by the enemy.

Jenny in Atl Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Mine have watched but I think for many the violence might be a bit much. You kids really need to LOVE Shakespeare to sit through this one. It's an awesome movie but hard for those under 10ish maybe even older.

Jennifer Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 Thanks! I figured they were too young but I didn't want them to miss something great if it was appropriate for them. We'll wait a few more years. I'm going to watch it, though, after they're in bed! Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian (a lady) Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I will cheerfully let my kids that age watch it, and they were introduced to it at a young age. I'm sure that there are nuances that they don't get. But I didn't feel that it was either totally over their head or so gory that they needed to not see it. But for context, we also let them watch Tora! Tora! Tora! and Victory at Sea. I think it may be one to preview and then decide.

NancyNellen Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 who asked for this movie for Christmas when she was 6!!! She loves it! So, I think YMMV with this one. She's not particularly sensitive to blood/violence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Atl Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 That's my kids, dd's 12 & 7, both saw Sweeney Todd and loved it. Enough blood in that for a few movies, but it was so over the top, even the color of the blood itself. I always hate to recommend movies because my family seems to watch movies others would never watch (not bad or :eek:) just subtitled, indie, the stuff that never makes it out of the small art house theater in town. We are movie junkies in this house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
