doubtfully suitable for children

Rating: 9/10 (13 December 2004)

Mr Parker writes "there were moments where I found myself wondering if a little kid might be able to deal with the intensity of what was going on on screen". Indeed, I went with my 7-yr-old boy and a 9-yr-old friend of him, and definitively: this is *not* a film for children. We were shocked at most by the scenes where the father (Mr Incredible) is being tortured and where the children (Violet and Dash) are attacked with machine-guns among other weapons. I'm sure I'd had enjoyed the film a lot if I wouldn't have gone with two kids. I find it disappointing when nobody warns one, and wanted hereby to let you know my experience and advise you to think it twice before going to The Incredibles with children.
This is not a criticism to the film itself, but to its certification.
