Great Fantasy, Could be Stressful for Kids

Parent, Fantasy Fan, Movie Lover

FEB

2008

There are many good things, good plot, good character development, good graphics, good moral. I enjoyed the film and was pleasantly suprised. It was pretty intense for children though. This is a Nickelodeon Production and as such, I expected to see a children's film, so my review is from the point of view of a parent.

A great movie to see with kids, but a bit scary for the youngest

I saw Spiderwick with my 10 year old son. We both really enjoyed it, and were captivated the whole movie. I highly recommend seeing this movie, but I also recommend reading the series of 5 books. My son read them first, and really enjoyed seeing the books come to life on the big screen.

This movie was one of the best family movies I have seen in a long time. I have children ranging in ages from 6 months to seven years and they all enjoyed it immensely. My husband even liked it. I would definately recommend this moviie for family time or even for people without kids, Thats how good it is! It has a mix of comedy and action and fantasy that is truly great. If you haven't seen The Spiderwick Chronicles, rent it today!! You will love it,

This is a must see movie for ages 6 and up.A little iffy for the younger set.A few scarey spots.This is one of the better ones they have taken from the pages of a book and put onto the screen,After Harry Potter which will be a hard one in YA to top in my opinion.

But this will definetely be a Buy on DVD as soon as released.I will be going again by myself without the 3 Grandchildren to see it too!
