I enjoyed the film, just take it for what it is and remove the grey matter upstairs and enjoy the ride.
Too many people get worked up over simple things.
I bet your young un will enjoy it, mine did quite a few years ago.

Man, I can't wait for that Alan Sylvestri magic- truly the best part of the movie for me!

Just a tad older at 13.
I think 11 should be fine, nothing like a good sit down with a good film and the offspring under your wing.
I don't care what the so called critics thought of the film and whilst I disagree with the way hollywood altered things, a mind in neutral so called blockbuster and a bucket of pop corn way to spend an aftrnoon can not be beaten.
Hope your young'un enjoys it.

Verdict: Pretty good movie, the FX were really good for the time, almost as good as Star Wars, but too many people got shot. The robot was cool. "Can we swing by a cash machine?" at the end was hilarious.
Bottom line, very re-watchable.

Have to agree as well, haven't watched it for a while so I will put it on my pile ready for the next time I get a little me time.
Glad you enjoyed it, just started Briscoe County again so I have plenty to watch in the wee small hours.

The original budget got cut, so they could not afford to show the motorcycles as realistically (via FX) as they were in the original comix. Really only mattered to the fanboys for the comix, but that was used as an explanation for why the film did not perform as big as expected.

Well, there is that. And showing the faces of Judges was a big break with the comix based canon. While there was a fan base, it was mostly in the UK. That's where I picked up on it. So the movie was just another action flick in the US, and there wasn't enough action.
The casting was ironic, as Dreadd's face was based on Stalone's mug (according to the original artist). But that wasn't enough to make it a hit.
