Spiderman too violent for kids?

I look at it this way, eventually kids are gonna see it, eventually everyone does. Teach them what is right and what is wrong, they can grow up with it, knowing it is wrong and not have a problem with it. This results in a more mature child at an earlier age(with some aspects.) Better to grow up with it than to have it all burdened upon you at one point.

However, if any adult here has a different experience doing this please post it, because i can only speak from the child viewing the violence's end. Not the parents end.

Although I agree that you cannot keep a child away from seeing violence altogether, I do think you have to be careful just how much a child does see. I think that if they are around it too much they become desensitized somewhat and I don't think that is a good thing either. But, that is just my view point.

Our 2 year old yells at the TV when she sees them fighting she'll yell "your mean" "stop it". She yells at Scar when she watches the movie The Lion King. It's pretty funny

Ahh, well i did some thinking, and its probably the very gory stuff that isnt as bad. This is because in real life, children will encounted fist fights, bullying, mean people, so you do not want them to be like that. However the people losing limbs stuff, will seem so unreal, and so foreign because a very small percent of people actually see that in real life, that gory violence all together would seem unreal. But anyway, why the hell am i doing this? Lack of sleep i say....Spiderman is a good movie and i think younger audiences should have no problem viewing it.

movies

i have a 12 year old and we have been watching movies together for a long time, from jaws to jurrasic park the violence and gore is bad, but i'm there to answer question and try to explain the right way and thats its just entertainment. movies like me,myself,and irene (jim carey)had a harder time with do to its nature(funny though), but anyway believe its quality time spent with kids and how raised that influences how kids will grow up and achieve their goals. just my thought Bill

I agree with you. I do feel that you must take each child on an individual basis. You as the parent knows what your child can and cannot handle.

That movie is fine for kids.

Update- Took the kid

Took him to see it Saturday; no problem at all. Funny, the only part he found a little scary was when GG was talking to himself, like when he was in the office and the scary voice was talking to him. The rest was fine, and he's never said a word about it. It was a fantastic movie, I'm glad we went.

Thanks a lot for the advice guys/girls, based on your input, I made the right decision.
