Violence

The strongest violence takes place during a battle sequence, where characters are shown attacking each other with swords and guns. There’s a bit of blood shown, mainly when people are struck with swords. You see a brief shot of a character lying on the ground, assumed to be dead, with a pool of blood surrounding his head. You also see characters injured following an explosion.

In another scene, a young girl is punched to the ground by a significantly larger male character. She is knocked out, and the the attacker continues to restrain her on the ground. After a montage of flash backs another character eventually helps her.

You see blood dripping from a character’s leg after they’re injured by a giant which falls and crushes their leg. From this character’s point of view, you see his brother from afar, who appears to be injured and in pain while yelling for his help.

Mild language

There’s some mild language which could be repeated by younger viewers. Phrases or words include “stupid brats,” “crap,” “shut up,” “jerk,” “stupid barbarians,” and “what the hell are you doing,” and these are mainly used when characters are insulting each other.
