Causes violence in children

Rating: Null/10 (29 June 2003)

Normally I would be inclined to say The Two Towers is an exceptional film, however I feel it was way too violent for children. I base a lot of my comments on the reactions I see in my children. And this movie? Even my two year old had a problem digesting it...and she couldn't even understand the plot! Culminate this with some scary ents, and well, you have the idea. This is definitely not Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Shortly after its theatrical release I noticed a good number of children in my apartment building going to school with rings around their necks and imitating Gollum. Innocent enough, sure, but WHAT ELSE ARE THEY COPYING AT RECESS, huh? You can't tell me they aren't viciously beating the bejesus out of one another! This film is definitely geared toward a mature audience, probably 18 or older. Great film for adults.
