I took my 9 year old sister to see this movie. She really liked it; some of the scenes scared her but it didn't bother her too much. I thought it was a creative movie. A little slow at times but otherwise it was very good.

My son &I enjoyed the movie. It had a positive message which the writers was trying to convey. I did feel that it was probably a little bit scary for the younger kids with the demons and the violence

My whole family loved this film; however, my ten-yr-old thought the villains were a bit scary and she spent a good deal of the movie with her face covered in my shoulder. But otherwise it was fantastic.

The film hums with energy anytime Merlin is on-screen, but even when it’s in the hands of its very sweet preteen ensemble, it’s a lively watch.

The action is creatively staged, without ever getting too intense or scary for young viewers. And the script balances humor, pathos and wish fulfillment as it portrays Alex’s rise from mopey dreamer to confident warrior, without overdoing the mythic portent.

Director Joe Cornish grounded the alien-invasion genre with clever plotting and entertaining English youngsters with 2011's “Attack the Block” and does the same with epic fantasy with this clever “Kid.”
