King Kong

Has anyone seen this yet?

My 9 year old son wants to see it, but I've read two reviews that warn not to take young children to see it on account of the graphic violence. :?

My son Daniel went to see this with his Dad.

Dan says that there are face sucking giant leeches, giant, scary spiders and rattling bone people (?) and head trampling dinosaurs.

Dan found it very scary but hugged into his Dad and survived to tell the tale.

Odd that he never mentioned a giant ape?

We went on a family trip to see King Kong. My seven year old throughly enjoyed it but, my nine year old viewed some parts of the film through his fingers or from under the chair. There were a few parts that were quite frightening; even I jumped. Overall, an excellent film. It lasts over 3 hours. No nightmares!

We saw it last night and I thought it was pretty scary for kids - especially the man eating worms :shock: .

Okay smartf**rt - I missed out a hyphen :D. The man in question couldn't possibly have eaten a worm as big as that one which is why the worm ate him - head first. I'm still having nightmares :o (thought I'd use that emoticon cause I don't think I've used it before).
