Jessica, are the Mirkwood scenes in this movie? Yeah, I need a giant spider warning.
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Thanks, Jessica. I feel a lot better now. Also, just picturing this...
a conga line with Matt Smith
...made my day. He's always seemed like a good dude, and this provides evidence to that effect.

Jilli, given the chapter title, I would imagine your whitefont would be in the next movie. That would be a good focus for the 2nd movie.

Jilli, no but part 1 is not entirely Ungoliant-spawn free either.

Thank you. I couldn't remember what happened in which chapters. The StuntHusband is going to the midnight showing, so he'll be able to let me know, too.

Specifically, you will want to shield your eyes when Radagast is medicating the hedgehog.
(Whitefont is mildly spoilery for the movie but is not a scene that exists in the book.)

What's the 6 and/or 9 year old rating? How tense are the scary bits?

I'd say fine for a 9 year-old but probably too intense for 6. (There's nothing in here to match the emotional intensity of RotK, but the orcs and goblins are legitimately scary.)
The movie does cut down significantly on the number of dead ponies as compared to the book, so that's something.
I think a 6 year-old could probably handle this fine on DVD (if they're used to "grown-up" movies in general) but not in theaters.

Oh, and wargs. Any kids who are even a little bit afraid of dogs should not see this movie.
