General audiences

US film rating

Kidnapping, a threatening bat and a frightening villain transformation. A character is eaten off screen, and the clock-tower fight includes dangerous falls.

Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
