My ten year old voted to leave pretty fast

Rating: 2/10 (13 August 2014)

SPOILER? Just describing the first scene.
I sit down with my ten year old, expecting to be entertained. Heard so much about this movie, it's this generation's Star Wars, right? First scene, a tragic heart-jerker that kills off the kid's mother. What the -- who asked for this? I hold my kid's hand and we plunge on. Then a bunch of running around and dumb violence. About the time somebody for some reason (who claims HIS father had been killed, AND his grandfather) takes a big hammer and smashes someone's head so "blood" can trickle down into this reservoir, my kid and I looked at each other and said Are You Enjoying This At All? Of course not. So we left.
Maybe it gets fun and charming after half an hour. But honestly, this is today's "entertainment"???
