Too much violence


Finally saw this movie. Too much violence for little kids. Guns everywhere, missiles, attacks, even an Iron Maiden! Movie was OK. I liked the little kids but the main character didn't grab me.

Really? It's an animated family movie. Geesh, some people

And, apparently being a screenwriter, how would you have done it differently?

reply

I'd be grateful for my kids getting exposed to one of the greatest heavy metal groups ever.

I'm guessing you mean Lynard Skynard... NOT heavy metal in any sense of the term.

Southern Rock Band.

Esther: My name was in the Bible!
Fred: Yeah, Samson slew the Philistines with your jaw-bone!

...He/she was referring to Iron Maiden...it was a joke.....

Wow.

Iron Maiden was crap... so I put them out of my mind back in the '70's where they belong.

Esther: My name was in the Bible!

Yes. I assume Iron Maiden, the band, took their name from the medieval torture/execution device. Remember when Bill and Ted went in some sort of time machine and their captor said, "put them I'm the iron maiden" to which they replied, "Excellent!"

Apparently Gru collects antique torture devices the way someone else might collect vintage cameras. Or stamps.

And I'm guessing you mean Lynyrd Skynyrd

I'm guessing looney tunes is non-existent in your household

I suggest you never watch Tom and Jerry!

The iron maiden was an object lesson. If just one kid is prevented from stepping inside one for fear of losing their juice box, it was worth it.

But you didn't mention the part where he got eaten by a shark. Was that okay?
