WHat's the right age to enjoy this movie?

Rating: 8/10 (20 December 2005)

I went to see this movie without my 4 years old, as I watched the trailer and contained too many scary characters. I'm glad I did as I'm sure it's able to scare small (minor than 8) children, but I also found the movie to be not as attractive to adult audience as was Lord of the Rings or to a teenager as Harry Potter is.
I'm also kind of disappointed as I saw too many edited scenes and cuts in the sequence, several questions raised how did they...? what happened to..? MMM...I still don't know if it was so great as I think it was going to be.
I think the director hurried up to have this movie ready and in order to gain timing they missed up some very important development in the story, we will have to wait to see if the following parts will be better than this one.
