My 2-year-olds review was "Lets watch it again!" as soon as it was over.  Sadly, he doesn't quite get that we can't just replay a movie when we're not at home.  On the "I might start worrying about this soon" he laughed the hardest at the zombie's heart getting ripped out…

Me too—I'm especially happy to hear it's good since there was zero chance of my not going to it anyway.  My sons have been excited about this one since the first preview (and I did manage to avoid all the creepy—and bad—kids movies at Halloween, so I guess I owe them one).
