    Cute Movie

    by megemrj

    Good graphics and story line. Good for older children, but there is alot of hitting in the movie. If you child gets frightened easily or has an active imagination be aware the boogie man is very prominent and scary.

    Fun time with the kids

    by Grad456

    Adequate movie with truly fun parts and good ideas. True, as others have pointed out it could've been so much more. The BEST animated movies are different things to kids and adults with adequate entertainment and depth for both. This movie is short of a "must go" in that in catering to the kids, it falls a bit short on the other end.

    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.

    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.

    rise of the guardians

    Great movie for the Holidays. Animation is awesome. Took my 11 year old grandson, who sat enjoying every minute of this movie. Definitely one I will purchase to add to my must have Holiday movies.

    Good Show

    I have an 8 year old, 4 and 3 year old. My older child really liked it, as did I, and although my younger children liked it - there were some intense scenes that made them nervous and they ended up on my lap. It was very well done and magical. I enjoyed a different take on the holiday movies.

    Makes you believe again...

    The trailers for this were enough to take my 6 year old to this one and I am glad I did. An interesting take on all the "guardians" we as kids believed in and no longer do. From Santa to the tooth fairy to the Sandman all the way to newcomer Jack Frost. If you are taking your kid to this in the hopes of a christmas themed movie you will be disappointed. Yes Santa IS in in this movie but the time line takes places after Christmas leading up to Easter. The boogieman is looking to strip the children of the world of their belief in the Guardians and its up to the Guardians to take it back. A true battle between good and evil and all the kids in the theatre (mine included) loved it. Go see it and just enjoy a great story and once again amazing animation. I highly recommend.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Rise of the Guardians

    by gdykes

    This was a fun movie for kids, remained appropriate throughout, and and was moving for parents since it reminds us of the wonder of being a child and helps us remember to enjoy our kid's innocence for as long as it lasts,

liznavard I find myself wondering why Jack Frost from rise of the guardians voice is so beautiful and then I realized it was because it's Chris Pine
