Spiderman too violent for kids?

[Tubby_Ninja]

I've been holding off on taking my 6 year old to Spiderman, due to the PG-13 rating. I've heard that the last fight between GG and Spiderman is pretty bad. Anyone have any thoughts or experiences with this?

[synreal]

except for one element i would say that the graphic level of fighting is only slightly more intense than anything you would encounter on saturday morning television. And the single element that <i>could</i> construed as a bit much is a) not shown, but strongly implied and b) given a slightly comical twist, think "oops, that was dumb of me" < whack >

violence aside, there was only one heated kiss. all in all nothing to stop 95% of youngins from enjoying the movie. my vote is to have the "this is a movie, not real" talk and enjoy the show.

p.s. if you want a more indepth description of all of the violence (at the risk of spoiling a bit of the movie) PM and i'll give you the blow by blow.

The last fight is'nt that bad. It's mostly heavy punches. The only real blood is on Parker's face where's he's been beat up. It should be ok for most kids.

My older sister took her 6 year old kid to watch the movie and they all loved it. This is coming from a woman who is very religious and is very cautious to what her kids are exposed to. Go take your kid, he'll love it and you'll have a good time!

well i havent seen it, but other things to take into consideration are things like your childs maturity for example is he immature for his age or pretty mature? if he was mature for his age he wouild probaly take the voilence and 'mushy stuff' a little better than an imature 6 yr old kid another thinng to think about is has he been expoused to violence before if so he would probably take spiderman kickin booty better well thats just my look on it

I saw Commando (where everyones favourite german/austrian? muscleman kills a whole bunch of people to save his sickly sweet daughter) when i was about 8, I thought it was hilarious

Its not bad, unless you have a religious reason, i wouldnt worry about it. I have been seeing "R" rated movies since i was about 7 years old and i turned out fine. No fighting issues or anything and im smart, so it didnt destroy me.

naw..spiderman is an awesome movie.i let my kids watch it

Kids will see violence everywhere. Spiderman is a much better way to see it as opposed to whats on TV.

lol that reminds me half my friends cant watch lord of the rings because their little siblings are afraid of trolls(they arent even called trolls in the movie!) o well i got to see it and laugh at them alot

i saw spider man good movie except in the end is kinda violent

its not as bad as black hawk down or saving private ryan(cant get much worse than those)

lets say if you dont let your kids watch bambi because the mom gets shot then you dont want them to see this but its nothing thats gunna make your kid crap his pants with fear of a hobgolbin or something

You could always spend the extra 10 bucks and view it previously and decide if taking your son is the correct thing to do....

The second time I went to see Spiderman, a friend, his wife, and his 4 year old daughter went to see it too. The only reason the 4 year old didn't like it is because she can't sit still for 10 minutes. Other than that, my friend and his wife said they had no problem with their daughter seeing it again.

Well I think kids have become more acustom to violence these days. You have cartoons on that show people dying regularly. I think it would be better to go watch the movie with him and explain things he may not understand than for him to watch a lot of tv programming.

Heck look at "Old Yeller" its rated G and they kill the dog!! I mean what the heck was that?? Look the dog is so nice, so brave, so loyal. Then bang the dog is dead. Thats right you can good and do everything right and someone might still shoot you.
