take your kids, see this movie

Rating: 9/10 (19 November 2004)

I just saw this movie with my three kids of various ages (8-14) and we all enjoyed the movie tremendously. They couldn't stop talking about it for a while afterwords. We enjoyed guessing the next step throughout the movie. Not the greatest of all time, to be sure, but good to see quickly before you hear too much about it. Some of the quirks a few folks might mention in this forum about the characters help it appeal to a wider audience.
This movie will intrigue those kids like mine with an interest in history and that can enjoy a movie with a bit of comedy, mystery, and action. Not so much action as to detract but enough peppered throughout to help pique interest.
Ignore those trolling for trouble, as well as the eternal naysayers and those paid to pick a movie apart, and go see it.
