violence | 6/10 This movie depicts a lot of violence and peril all involving young people. Four children are chased by monsters and are soon thrown around and one is killed (some blood are shown). A mechanical bull attacks, a young man is trashed around and some are stomped. A girl is thrown around by a bull, she lands on a roof and we see blood on her face. A young man is also attacked by the bull earning him a lot of cuts and bruises on the face. At one point, the bull burns a character (though the character is safe afterwards). A satyr is attacked by a group of men, physical fights are shown. On a yacht, there are several instances of fighting. A young man headbutts another. Men carry electroshock weapons and crossbow to capture the heroes. There are a lot of punching, kicking and even judo flips. A young man is thrown off a wave in quite a height. A group of kids on a raft are swallowed by a giant sea monster. In a lair of a Cyclops, people are chased, attacked and flailed around by a massive Cyclops (this is all comical throughout). At an amusement park, another series of fighting ensues. A man strangles one and we see them both bloodied. A giant creature devours two characters. A girl is stabbed by a monster's tail, she dies, only to be resurrected again. |
profanity | damn it, damn |
alcohol | 3/10 A wine collector carries bottles of wine in many scenes and whenever he pours a glass it turns to water. A wine collector's desk and a long table at home are filled with unopened wine bottles. |
frightening | 6/10 Take note that is a family adventure film, so the violence and intense scenes are handled properly so young viewers will able to take it. A ship escapes the stomach of a sea monster into the water. As the ship rises to the surface, two characters in a sealed room are frightened at a cracking window threatening to break and flood the room, but the ship arrives at the surface before that happens. A child and a teen's death might upset some young viewers (though they are both resurrected) The creatures may scare some young viewers Total: 19/50 |
