Now that a lot of you have seen The Watchmen, is it totally unacceptable for a 13-year old?

Posted by JaxSean (aka JaxSean) Mar 9 '09, 09:13

my daughter wants to see it (she read the book), but from what I've read, it sounds a bit overly violent. (I'm not concerned her seeing a big blue penis, so that's not that big a deal to me.)

Thoughts?

Responses:

Totally and absolutely. I know some 32-year-olds who it's barely acceptable for. -- nm - Endermandias Mar 9, 09:17
a spoiler that you might consider - crash davis Mar 9, 09:16 5
- I'd be a bit more concerned with *spoils* - Epiphany Mar 9, 09:18
- We took her to see Matrix Reloaded in the theater and that sex scene was uncomfortable enough for us. - JaxSean Mar 9, 09:18
- violence is similar to the Dark Knight, and at the IMAX I saw it at, some dude brought his five or six year old son -- nm - crash davis Mar 9, 09:18 2
  - It's a little bit more intense than TDK's violence. spoils? - Shaun Mar 9, 09:19 1
    - Yeah, the real violience in TDK was all off screen. *spoils* - Endermandias Mar 9, 09:21
pretty much. - znufrii Mar 9, 09:16
Not acceptable, the sex scenes are pretty graphic - MDH Mar 9, 09:15 2
- the sex scenes are hardly as graphic as the violence, imho. -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 09:17 1
  - too bad...I can live without "violence porn" sex porn is more fun - The Calico Cat Coalition Mar 9, 09:24
A couple of moments where I think he indulged his baser instincts just a little too much. (non-spoilier spoils) - Name Withheld By Request Mar 9, 09:14 3
- ok, thanks all. We'll go see it first without her. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 9, 09:15 2
  - I endorse this line of thinking. -- nm - Shaun Mar 9, 09:18
  - It's a hard R, not a minimal R -- nm - Epiphany Mar 9, 09:16
Utterly. -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 09:14 1
- Cool! :) -- nm - con_coffee Mar 9, 09:15
wildly so. -- nm - Reagen Mar 9, 09:14
I say it is unacceptable - highly. -- nm - Epiphany Mar 9, 09:14
I guess it depends on how well she handles that sort of thing. -- nm - Shaun Mar 9, 09:13
I would have reservations. -- nm - TWuG Mar 9, 09:13
