    Great movie for the big kids too

    by Pa3cya

    This movie had a great story to it. Never a dull moment and visually it was entrancing. Really good holiday movie. It's fun for kids of all ages.

    Great Movie for Kids & Adults

    My grandson and husband loved this movie. They definitely recommend it to everyone. My granddaughter and I went to see the Twilight movie, but my grandson said we have to go see this one too and he'll come again. That's saying a lot for a 6 year old boy!

    Rise of the Guardians

    My almost 9 yr old like this alot and said he would like to see it again. I was wondering if it might scare younger kids, since it has the boogey man vs. the guardians.

    Rise of the guardians review

    by

    I took my 7-year old daughter to see the movie, there were a lot of great elements appealing to boys or girls, the story line was pretty entertaining as well and moved right along. We found ourselves laughing at the little elves/ gnomes, they added a very humorous backdrop. There were touching moments as well, the story encouraged to look at the magic and inner child wonder inside all of us, and see what is truly important. Lastly, the animation was very well done, visually stimulating on the big screen. We really enjoyed this movie!

    Loved it.

    Don't let the terrible marketing and nonsensical title keep you from seeing this movie. It's fun, funny, and sincere. May be a bit scary for the really little ones, but a great family flick.

    Guardians Raise Spirit

    by ej_pez

    I thought it was pretty well done. My 7-year-old son had been patiently waiting to see this movie and hearing him laugh out loud made it all worthwhile to me. I enjoyed the different imaginings of each of the Guardian characters and the worlds that they inhabited. As the story became more serious, I wondered to myself if and when my son may stop believing - the uplifting ending made me feel like I can put that fear to rest.

    Surprising

    by

    We thought the kids would like, but my husband and I liked it as well. 8yr old loved. 4yr old liked, but was freaked out in parts.

    Great movie for probably 6 and up.

    Absolutely LOVED it

    It was really good but I'm a sucker for that kind of movies. I think adults will feel like kids again and it reinforces kids imagination. I took my 4 y/o to it and although he did like it, and it wasn't too scary for him, he had trouble sitting through it all since it wasn't so cartoony.
    Good movie!

    Cute, Could be scary for little ones

    I went into this with managed expectations, bringing two 11 year old boys (the kind who like when things blow up). I think we all liked it. It was cute and well done. Charming some of the time. Funny some of the time. I didn't think it was so scary, but saw friends afterwards with two young children (maybe 4 and 6) who said it was a little intense for their kids. It wasn't fabulous, but I enjoyed it.

    Fun for all ages - Great DVD or Blu ray buy!

    This was a great movie. My 7 year old loved it. The animation was clear. The characters and colors were beautiful on the screen. My child's favorite character was Jack Frost. But, the Sandman was great. Although Sandman doesn't speak, the facial expressions tell it all. Excellent movie!!!!

    Amazing!

    I absolutely adored this movie! In fact, I plan on going to see it again next weekend! What a great story line too. Every character was unique in their own special way, espcially Jack Frost (who was freaking hot!) and Russian Santa was quite interesting also.

    Best holiday movie from Dreamworks!

    Rise of The Guardians was a great movie! It had tons of humor, action, heart and adventure! I also loved the elves! They acted a lot like the minions in Despicable Me. Overall, this movie will get you to believe in the holiday spirit!
