Not for the whole family!!

Rating: 6/10 (17 February 2007)

If you're a parent, I would not recommend taking your children to see the movie....while the special effects and computer generated images are absolutely wonderful, there are some violent and gory scenes that made both my husband and I turn away. We were very thankful that our children (ages 14 and 12) were not with us. (Good call on the Rating "R") One couple even got up and left after the first gory scene and never returned.
Overall, the story line was great, but it's not the same caliber movie as Lord of the Rings as some reviews have stated!! The fact that the movie is in Spanish and contains subtitles was not an issue.
