I expected more coming from Disney so I was a bit disappointed but overall, ok movie. If I pd full price (matinee) I'd be more annoyed. I can't see young children being scared, there are some parts where its just loud and they have the flying monkees (whatever they were) coming right at the screen at times. I liked James Franco, the rest of the case was nothing to exciting-rather dull. the last half hour was the best but it just took way to long to get there.
