 |  We both enjoyed it.  It wasn't great, but it wasn't sucktastic either.  I usually guage a movie by how many times I look at my watch.  With POTC III I looked 3-4 times.  Ratatouille, none.  EA, once.  
 
It is just hard to strike a balance in movies that we see in theaters.  There aren't many 'kid' movies worth watching, but he isn't quite ready to handle a more adult theme.  Then I have the added hang up with him, if it is real, or has a shred of reality (Dante's Peak, Volcano, Twister ect...) he will have issues.  If it is total fantasy (LotR, HP) he is fine with it.  The only way I know if there will be a problem is the questions I start to get in the hours following him seeing something he can't handle. |
