Kids are 12 and 15. We love action movies and this has all the non-stop action of the earlier Indiana Jones movies. It was more hand to hand violent with swords and things that stick you, that many younger children might be upset by, but overall the combination of a super hunk, the action, romance and special effects was very good. We'll buy it when it comes to DVD for sure.
I took my kids, 10 and 14. They roared and loved it. I love Adam Sandler movies. He has a likability to similar Will Smith. This movie has a great mix of special effects on top of being a really good story with a Happy ending. My husband and I love picking out Adam Sandler's friends that pop up in all his movies. We will be buying this one.
Animation is superior. Never a dull moment. Lots of laughs. Predictable but fun throughout. Took my 13 and 10 year olds. Both loved it. Super storyline and great old-fashioned, do your best type message. Unique characters and as a martial arts student, I found the theme/setting awesome! Hope there is a sequel.
Robert Downey Jr. Is amazing. Perfect choice for the cocky playboy turned millionaire protector of good. We had no problem with the Middle Eastern setting. Very timely. Terrence Howard is awesome as the extremely intelligent "voice of reason". Loved him. The overall plot although predictable, was thoroughly engaging. The comic points were highly effective. This is one of the best big screen comic book hero movies to date. We'll buy it and look forward to future installments.
