Wouldn't recommend for kids

Rating: 8/10 (26 March 2012)

Good movie, I liked it and would recommend. But I wouldn't recommend for younger teens or pre-teens. It's a dark movie. Almost amazingly dark for a story aimed at the younger crowd. I just don't see the need for writers to glamorize murder to our children.
The story moves nicely in the movie. And the actors play their part quite well. I was told by a few that did read the books that it didn't follow the books very closely at all. Not much more than just the general idea of the story and most parts. Many details were changed, it seems for time or some other director driven reason.
Go see it, but don't take your kids.
