We had a lot of fun with this film. I took my 8 and 5 year old and it was a really fun time. My kids are really fickle, so the fact that a 2:15 hour movie kept their attention was quite a testament to the appeal. Yes, it is a video game with extra long cutscenes, but that's right up our alley as we're big into video games.
Some of the race scenes were just a thrill to watch. Can't wait for the sequel!
