Maybe too sophisticated for a 4 year old?

Grandma, 64 and Grandpa, 73, thoroughly enjoyed Arthur. The hi tech references and space defense satire were enjoyable. But Grand Daughter, almost 4, didn't like the film. I would recommend Arthur Christmas to anyone who is dragged into a theater to see a kiddie flick. The characters' accents are a little ard to understand at times, and that is a drawback for one who wants to catch every gag.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

for my generation Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce were Holmes and Watson. This latest incarnation is a grand interpretation of the original material. Long time fans know that Watson was far from the bumbler that Bruce portrayed. And Watson did continually give Holmes Heck for his cocaine use :self poisoner". Downey and Law are an absolute delight in the roles. Only criticism is that the film is a little long at 2:17, and the fight scenes could have been cut a little. It's a problem I have with all modern action films. My Freemason friends will roll their eyes and shake their heads over this film.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Afitting continuation of the franchise

The Indiana Jones sagas were conceived as Saturday afternoon serials with production values. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull delivers on the promise. A viewer who enjoyed the previous entries will enjoy this one.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
