Hitting people doesn't always knock them out. It's made to look fun and exciting, but a lot of it would not hold up in real life. People are thrown out into the water with catapults. Someone has a sword put at them and tells the holder to spill their own blood, and he almost does he starts lunging the sword into him. We think one of the characters is decapitated-he's not. Almost getting hit with a mace (is that what it's called?). People very close to death and in one instance going insane and panicking. People beating each other with sticks, chasing after each other with knives and swords. (There are other good messages but with this being a old comedy with lots of plot twists some of them are undone like don't marry a brute doesn't really hold up-the princess in the end marries him anyway despite plotting against it) VIOLENCE: Lots. Written by the wife of the user: MESSAGE: People all have something they can contribute. This wasn't a horrible movie, but watching it with my kids just wasted our time and caused me to really question CSM's review criteria. Is it really "one of the funniest comedies ever," as the review says? Well, my 79 year old mother chuckled a few times during the movie, but my boys didn't laugh at all until the last 5 minutes. That's not a phrase I'd like them to repeat elsewhere. Although there's no sex or bad language in the film, my kids did ask me what a witch meant when she *repeatedly* commanded a man to "make love to" a female character. For my 6 and 9 year olds, I had to pause and explain what was happening because there's a lot of role switching and plot twists and it's tough to keep track of central plot points such as who's who, who's good or bad, etc. The plot is really, really complicated for a young kid to follow. This isn't a cartoon, mind you, and a "death scene" with real people isn't something I'd like my young kids to see. The opening scene is a person being shot in the back with a bow and arrow. But Common Sense Media's over-the-top glowing review is really misleading, and it's nuts to call it "terrific family fun" for kids as young as 6. I feel like that whole confusion could have been avoided if the witch had just said “don’t drink out of the mug with the dragon on it, it’s poisoned.This is a classic 1950s comedy, and for those who appreciate the subtle and broad humor of that genre, it works. The pellet with the poison’s in the flagon with the dragon Sure focus on the one guy who got tortured to death and not the literally several people who were not tortured to death real good faith going on here Gramps could be a mean ol' coot)Įnjoy another couple wasted minutes of your life:īlight rhino fucked around with this message at 20:50 on Apr 4, 2021 It would be hilarious if it turned out Ravenhurst was the only legal choice of regent. Who is supposed to be regent in the interim? The Black Fox? Grizwold? There's basically no legitimate nobility left alive in the court. The movie ends with a literal infant as king. I'm not really outraged by this but maybe Hawkins should have been more careful Which Kings Quest is this and what disk should I be on?īig Beef City fucked around with this message at 15:42 on Apr 4, 2021īut what if I don't want to ride the snake?Īlso, most of the guards were unconscious when they were thrown into the moat so they most likely drowned, but Ravenhurst could have survived and swam to shore. My cat LOVES to wait until I'm nice and cozy in the bath to take a huge, stinky dump in the nearby litterbox. Without even looking it up I'm gonna say yes. Has anyone ever sued for mental anguish due to spoliers?
