Is Jurassic park appropriate for a 5 y/o?

There were some kids close to that age in the movie I went last night. Should be able to handle it.

I had a seven year old watch it the other day and was fine, the eight year old covered her eyes for the T-rex part, they all liked it (original)

Not sure on the five year old. But I wouldn't say it's "bad" just may be a little scary.

I assume we're talking about the original. I saw Jurassic Park when I was about 5 or 6, after much begging. The parents were originally hesitant. It was pretty intense for me. Maybe a little too intense. But I loved it.

Dinosaurs are scary, and movies now a days are pretty realistic looking.
My 4 year old loves dinosaurs but i wouldn't even think about taking him. He'd piss his pants if he saw that in the theater, and i don't think that's an exaggeration or expression, i think he'd literally piss his pants.

He about had a heart attack when my wife decided it would be a good idea to take him through the dinosaur part at the Audubon Zoo. I told her that was dumb, but she insisted. His whole body was trembling in fear as we walked through and he couldn't wait to get out.

My dad took me to the original when I was 5.

Pretty sure that's why my parents got divorced.

But it was something I will never forget, even if it scared the living shite out of me haha.

I just recently let my 6 year old watch Jurassic Park. He loved and has not had any ill effects from it.

I'll probably take him to see Jurassic World soon because he handled it so well.
