seawaspI don't need opinions on the quality of the movie, just whether it's any less suitable for young kids than the first FF movie, and why if it's not.

The violence tends towards the cartoony -- they get a couple of nigh-Looney-Tunes moments with Mr. Fantastic's deformable body.
There is one scene of a guy who's been, I guess, "calcified" and killed, and about half of his body has been sheared away. That's the most disturbing image I can think of, and it's not too different from the scene in the first movie where Victor zaps a hole through some schmuck's chest.
Of course, it's hard to predict what might frighten a kid. When I was about that age, the Doc Savage movie terrified the crap out of me. Go figure.

The idea of a big cloud eating up earth and a silver guy digging big holes is a little too much for a kid that age to understand.
Of course my parents took me to see Poltergeist when I was 7. Years of therapy can do wonders to ones perceptions

Date: 2007-06-22 11:45 pm (UTC)There are no more Jason Wood books yet. However, as my Loyal Lieutenant Shana says, I did post the entirety of the next Jason story, "Shadow of Fear", in this very journal a month or two ago. Those on my beta-reading list (community name rykspoor_beta) have also gotten to read the story after that, titled "Trial Run", plus the first draft of the sequel to Boundary, the hard-SF novel by me and Eric Flint, and several chapters of other solo works I'm working on, plus other little odds and ends.
