We took our 8 & 10 year old boys on Friday. The oldest was fine, although he ate too much popcorn and got sick later. The 8yo said, "You should have taken us to an earlier show so it wouldn't be so DARK out and so close to bedtime after the movie".

I would say 10 is the absolute BOTTOM age-wise. They are interested to find out what happens next, but the younger boy isn't sure he wants to see the next one. But he swears up and down that "The Mummy" was scarier.

Must be the big screen thing that was so freaky to him. We almost never go to movies (and no outside TV signal coming in either)!

I loved the movie, having never read the trilogy. I *didn't* like the dizzying fight scenes, they almost made me ill. But I'm prone to motion sickness, and any other sickness since I'm pregnant :-)

I just saw it again last night. I was with my wife, no kids this time, and I made it a point to follow the scenery and cinematography. I was a bit car sick after the movie, I must admit.

Before TLOTR, I had never seen a movie on opening day. Before TLOTR, I never paid to see a movie twice in the theater. TLOTR is just in a class by itself.
