It is indeed highly critical of religion; the comparison of the movie's Ministerium (the bad guys) to the Catholic Church is unmistakable. If I were you I would see the movie without the kids first, then decide... don't take anyone else's word on it. I agree about Beowulf being inappropriate for young ones... it was almost too much for me in a few of the scenes, and there were things in Beowulf that *I* would not want to have to feild a 7yo's questions about...<BR> <BR>Rua</SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I would like to take my kids (the 7 year old twins, almost 8) but I am concerned that it is PG-13. My husband and I saw Beowulf and, while we had fun, we did not think it was appropriate for them. They have seen the Harry Potter movies, including the PG-13 ones, in the theatre, but we prescreened them and talked about the scarier parts first. Also, please let me know if the film is mostly done as an adventure story in the Narnia vein, or if it is extremely critical of religion (as opposed to just generally critical of conformity). There are a lot of things floating around out there about the books that it is based on, and I haven't read them so I am not sure what to believe.</SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Tahoma size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
