This movie is definitely NOT for younger children. We attended with our 2-year old and a bunch of her friends w/their parents. No one lasted 15 minutes.
From the terrifying opening scene of parental loss, there must be a solid 30 minutes (I saw it later) of unending scary scenes which, in concert with the intense music, is way too much for 2 or 3 yr.-olds, IMO.
I liked it, but it suffers from the modern illness of hyper-activity, i.e. there must be a climax every thirty seconds, a jarring surprise, a tension. The end result is that you're numbed half-way through and inured to any emotional highs after that.
Writers of dialogue, it appears, are in very short supply in Hollywood...
