ParaNorman 3DMovie Reviews

Not So Kiddie...

When I saw the previews I thought this was going to be a kid movie. I am into animation films and I loved Coraline, so I was really excited to see this anyway. I was super surprised at how much content/dialogue was aimed at the older crowd. This movie was awesome and I would recommend it if you're into this kind of thing. A lot of the action is at the end. And it slowly builds up. The storyline is typical, but still intriguing. Thumbs up!

I thought this movie was very cute, however, 3D was bad, barely anything 3D, not worth the 3D price

Maybe its just me...

Maybe its just me but it seems more and more "childrens" movies have adult themes. ParaNorman was a good movie and was funny but my children didn't quite get all of it. My son is 11 and has Down Syndrome. He didn't really get it and wanted to go home about 3/4 of the way through the movie. My 9 year old daughter liked it but asked a lot of questions about the movie afterward. There are humor references that kids absolutely won't get and the subject matter of the film is quite heavy for kids but... It is a good film. If you are expecting a light hearted kids film, it is not really that. The 3D looks fabulous. I think it is meant more for adults but can be enjoyed by kids.

Even my 8 year old said the movie was so-so.

pretty good

My kids where having a good laugh :-)

Great movie...

great movie for adults. IMO too scary for kids 11 and under.

such a good storyline. if you loved Coraline you'll love this movie.

Great Movie

It took a bit to get into but once we did it was great! I took my 8 year old daughter who is easily scared. The witch part scared her but she thought the zombies were hilarious.

Disappointed

Kind of cute story, but story line was a little formulaic. I became bored and actually fell asleep DURING the climax. It was o.k., but I wish I had not spent the money to see in in the movie theatre, especially paying extra for 3D.

not for little ones...

I liked the movie and I was with my kids they liked but they said it was a little bit scary...

I thought it was a cute movie, some scenes might make a younger kid scared (when the zombies come out) but other than that, my seven year old loved the movie.

The movie was very entertaining, but ... when you already wear glasses, the 3D glasses can be a bother ... not a good fit.

Good Movie

The movie seems a bit scary for kids younger than 9, so please take that in mind. Overall, it was great, and the storyline was fantastic.

Good movie!

This is a good 3D movie, I loved the story and the stop motion was done fantastic. The art style is just amazing and innocent, and the message of the movie is even better and full of moral.

Wasn't really worth it, the movie was ok and it ended quick

Not Really Child-Friendly

This film should have been rated PG-13 for violence, horror, and language. It's really too much for young children. Within the first ten minutes, a highly-sexualized teenage girl character calls another character a "Jack-Ass". You could hear the gasps in the theater from other parents like me, who'd brought kids aged 6-8 to see this. As the film developed, this teenage girl is practically throwing herself at the teenage boy character - who spends most of the film without a shirt on, showing off his six-pack abs. (Warning: Spoilers to come) The premise of the film is that a bunch of 18th century people (now zombies) sentenced an 11-year old girl to death, and killed her - causing her to be an evil "witch". The last third of the film is VERY scary to small children, as the witch attempts to destroy everyone. At the end of the film, the teenage boy is revealed to be gay with a boyfriend. Unnecessary and difficult to explain to a child, not to say inappropriate in a child's film.
