-Action-packed entertainment builds around efforts, not to prevent the destruction of the planet, but to plan for the continuation of the human race.
-I can't claim to have seen every terrible film in cinematic history, but in my fairly extensive watchography, 2012 is certainly in the top 5 worst ever.

Some reviews from Rotten Tomatoes:
-A tale of heroes, bonded together by friendship, it's the very special friendship between hobbits Elijah Wood's Frodo and Sean Astin's Sam that touches us most of all.
-Jackson finishes the epic with a flourish that leaves all other big screen fantasies thoroughly humbled.

Some reviews from Rotten Tomatoes:
-A fun, effects-filled, escapist adventure, with several clever notions: Medusa sells garden statuary as a cover, and the Parthenon in Nashville is home to a hydra.
-It looks like the characters of color in Percy Jackson have been paired off, a remarkable choice in a movie that is, in essence, about the glories of half-breeds.

I think that tharget audience is for children because there are kids involved in the commercial only, I would say that target audience could be on teenagers too because they would find that halerious and fun to watch. It is for both genders since there is a boy and a girl in the video. 
The location of this commercial is in photographers place because you can see the lightning and camera in the set. The small girls dress is purple, it links to the Cadbury Chocolate’s  package colour. Both kids are sitting on the chair waiting for the man to come back and take the picture. The commercial is very light, you can tell it’s a day time, plus they have lightning directed on them so it seems even more lighter.
In the first part of the commercial you see two kids sitting on the chairs carelessly and bored, you can tell that by their body language (long shot). Since  in the commercial their eyebrows move to the rhythm of the melody, they use close up to their face. The melody sounds like a phone ringtone ( the guy in the first scene got a phone call) it is fast and playful, like a online game.
I think this commercial is very silly, but it has humour in it and is fun to watch. I would give the target age from 6-15.
