My teacher read us this series back in the 3rd grade, I was pretty little so I barely remember it, but this movie is a super good replica. I'm really happy that Freddie Highmore is in this movie, he's one of my favorite actors ever! I love "Arthur and the Invisibles" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"! There are a few parts in it that are a little scary like the end when they have that huge battle but nothing to to serious. There's one use of the H word "really Freddie?" but that's it. The most sex is that their Dad is living with another woman. It's an A+ in my view!

very good movie I had just got it ive been wachting it over and over again

The movie was enchanting, beautiful and magical, in I loved the pretty flower fairies and I admired Thimbletack for his loyalty, kindness and bravery especially he attacked the troll (in serpent form) to buy Jared some time, even when it nearly costed his life. But I must admit the Spider wick movie is overall intense and should have a PG-13 rate though nearly causing my eight year old sister to go into hysterics and I was near to screaming when Thimbletack was violently and savagely knocked out from the serpent-orge. But the animation is fantasic and it is wonderful to know that Lucile and Arthur Spiderwick was reunited with each other, but I strongly recommend that unless your child or your younger siblings are mature, are not frightened easily and have read the books, kids under 12 should not watch this film.

It could have been a lot worse. Within the first two minutes I decided Mallory was way too girly, fortunately I was wrong. Simon's part was much too small, and the ending was awful- awful- the way they handled Arthur Spiderwick (who happened to look uncannily like the illustration in the book) was just terrible. There is a lot of crashing-glass-breaking-walls violence toward the end, but no blood. There were a couple of lines where I laughed out loud ("I'm a pacifist.") and other than that, and the fact that they squashed all the books into one movie and except for one or two scenes decided the fourth book was irrelevant definitely detracted, but it's gotten my younger brother interested in the books and the movie as a whole was done pretty well. Also, the reason Jared knew to stab Mulgarath (I'm trying not to give any spoilers here) is a lot clearer in the movie than it was in the book. The scene in the book could be a little disturbing for a younger reader who didn't really understand it. The fact that the movie contains so much less information than the books do can be seen as an advantage, because it can encourage kids to pick up the books and find out there's a lot more to discover inside them.

The movie starts! Wait who are the characters? In the movie you don't even know the people's names until 20 minutes into the movie! All the kids do is fight and the mother can't control her own children! There was a confusing part in the movie which I don't think anyone would understand unless you read the books. This movie stunk!

i liked this movie but i also think they should have left out some of the violence

awesome

It was OK but there was some creatures that could scare little kids alot. There was also some bad language and parts younger kids shouldn't see (if you have seen this you know what I'm talking about)
