We're talking teenagers here. Nearly everything scares them.I'm gonna guess its just cheap jump scares? That doesn't count
At one point I was like WTF when my GF jumped because a club member, sitting next to her, jumped at something they thought was skeery!
Caruso with a hint of Mickey Rourke lol...From my review, I wanted to provide evidence that Danny Elfman looks like David Caruso:

The only thing this movie accomplished was that not all the MCU movies have to be cookie cutter stories....
My daughter went with a bunch of friends to see it. I told her she had to pay for it herself as I refuse to give Disney more money than I already do...
Oh, and she hated it. Said it was terrible. Only 1 friend liked it. She has a film class in High School, so between the old(er) movies she's been watching with me over the years and all the classics she's had to watch this year for school, she finally agreed with me that today's movies do mostly suck...

I'm still trying to figure out the exact reasons why this isn't a generally accepted movie and frankly why I didn't love it myself. Maybe that Raimi style doesn't vibe across the entire spectrum of the GA. It has those extreme angles which reminded me of the first Thor that Branagh directed and was trashed for his camera moves.The only thing this movie accomplished was that not all the MCU movies have to be cookie cutter stories....

Witch was more sympathetic than Doctor Strange's arc. The Illuminati, while awesome to see, perhaps disrupted the flow of the story. Personally, more interacting of Strange with his variants would have serviced the story better. That he moves on from Christine while not getting dumped by another Christine variant.
Some reviews wanted more multiversing, more variety in that concept instead of a quick montage that you couldn't make out half of the worlds in.
I mean it wont matter anyway, she'll come back and it'll all be fine because she was "corrupted" and it wasn't her fault (yet again...). Plus it was in another universe, those people she murdered didn't matter!It seemed like people were just surprised that Marvel actually went there with how Wanda went psycho and mowed down various people. It was....illuminating.
I might be the only one, but Liz Olsen and Wanda just don't do anything for me. This take was Transformers porn cool, but how many times do I need to see the kids in the movie? She'll be back in maybe bringing the mutants to the 616 Marvel world. At the end I doubt anyone bought that she is really dead, although I truly hope so.

Are your students... how do I say this without seeming insulting, but are they scared easily? Is it a generational thing, compared to what we were all raised with? I mean, I grew up with Jaws and The Thing and Alien and The Exorcists and disaster movies, Freddy, Meyers, Jason, etc.

My 8 had zero problems with this film but my 10 year old doesn’t want to see it because he knows it has jump scares in it. He watched Jurassic Park when he was I think 7 and hasn’t been the same since - pretty easy to guess which scene.
I wouldn't take any young kids to see this at all. Jump scares and even unexpected gore are what they are, but then there is...
...explaining to a young Marvel fan why their previously benevolent hero is now murdering people (some of them famous and beloved heroes themselves) with no mercy or remorse.

I have no problems with that. It’s all about context, going on Wanda’s emotionally complex journey and explain it to them as they go. My kids know that what Wanda has done is wrong and obviously unacceptable. They have followed her story since Age of Ultron.
My kids constantly surprise me with their thoughtful questions. Episode 5 of MK was even tougher I will admit, trying to explain why a mother would hit her child and why a father would not do anything to stop it.
But I would rather show my kids adult themes and try to explain them rather than have them watch Octonauts. I will say I constantly get into trouble for it.
I understand.
My family was always along for the ride with most of the MCU, but this really is a tough call of a movie. My young ones (<10) loved the first DS and liked Wandavision. But I might have to pump the brakes and keep this one for the adults for now.
Criticisms aside…

…Strange’s Wanda solution towards the end was one of the coolest things that I have seen in recent memory.

I enjoyed the movie alot. I like the camera angles Raini uses for alot of shots and this fit in with Evil Dead to me. Plus Pizza Poppa was hilarious.
