Spiderwick Chronicles

Now that the movie IS out, will someone please tell me: if I took, say, a seven-year-old child to it, would the child find it too scary to enjoy?
 
Yeah. There's mild violence (they kill the bad guys by throwing packets of ketchup at them. Hardly the violence you see in the Saw films or whatever.) and I think only very sensitive children would find it scary.

You can kill the bad guys in the film with packets of ketchup? What a bunch of wussies! LOL! :D
 
Copper, when I went, there were many children, including a four-year-old girl right in front of me. She sat through it fine and was not scared. Only you know the seven-year-old's scare level. I would agree that if the child can get through Narnia, Spiderwick will be no problem.

Punkmaster, the scene with the ketchup and tomatoes is because tomatoes act as an acid, killing the bad guys.

I saw the movie and have not read the books.....i didn't even know there were books


The eldest the girl also uses a sword and kills the bad guys but thats not really scary
 
Uhhhh to REVIVE this thread....also to say I finally managed to get the Spiderwick books and read them all yesterday. They were fab!! :) But questionnnn - who was the mystery person at the end of "The Ironwood Tree"?
 
"At the end of "The Ironwood Tree," there is a portrait, but it's just a black silhouette, and it's the "hero." Who is it?"

QueenSusan, you have to read the entire poem that starts on the previous page. It is asking who will emerge as the hero. The poem is asking who can defeat Mulgrath and to read the fifth book to figure it out. So if you read the final book, you know who saved the day.

To me, it looks a lot like Jared/Simon.

Yeah when I read "Ironwood" I figured it was one of them, then I thought it might be a different character, and then I read the fifth and got really confused because I thought it was supposed to be a new character...:rolleyes:
