I saw it in 3D and it was fantastic. I didn't read the book until after I saw the movie and I like the additions the movie made. I can imagine it would be creepy for little kids. There were some in the theater and they were pretty quiet the whole time..they looked a little (o.o) as they were leaving.
One lady commented that kids should appreciate their parents more...Or what? Creepy button-eyed spider ladies will come after you? She went on a tirade about ungrateful kids for a while.

I was going to see Taken this weekend..in the movie theater. But maybe I'll stay home and watch it....somehow ;)
