It draws you in with the family wholesomeness, but sets you up to cheer for the criminal element. Basically, if you notice, the whole film is celebrating criminal activity of one form or another.
If you're an actual adult and can compartmentalize the film into an alternate existence where you have no morals, then it's a wild ride. That's the only weakness of the movie is how it broadcasts such strong morality on one hand while simultaneously taking a dump on social order in the other hand. Never the less, this is the film that spawned a multi-decade franchise, and you can see why. It plays on men's fascination with strength, commitment, adrenaline and success. It is a good movie, despite some aged CGI.
This cast would mostly disappear for the next two movies.
I say watch it. Honestly the entire franchise is better than most the trash Hollywood produces.
