The Dark Knight
Vote on the post below this one.
Here we go:
The new Batman movie has been released and it is expected to break all kinds of records. (I received this issue from two_blue_skies).
A few news articles have been written about whether the dark theme is appropriate for children. Here is one of them: Link
In the article I just linked, a person said that 10 years old was about right for age appropriateness.
The movie is rated PG-13 for "intense sequences of violence and some menace." Here is the link: Link
Would you take a 10-year-old to see "The Dark Knight" before you viewed the movie yourself?

depends on the 10-year-old
Good morning, Dan!
In answer to your question....hell no I wouldn't!
probably not, unless they were already watching other dark movies like that and enjoying them
uh no, WAY too intense for a 10-year old.
People definitely get brutally killed in this one.
No.
Probably. Depends on who it was.
sure. if i thought they could stand it. plus, id need someone to hold my hand.
no, I wouldn't take any child to any movie before I reviewed it.
There is worst shit 10 year olds see then this and it's everyday on the news. we can't shelter our kids for ever. i think 10 is a good age.
I wonder if Ledger really can get an Oscar for this, since he's dead.
And no, that's too young to see a movie such as this one.
No, my parents never let me see movies like this when I was 10. It's too violent.
depends on the child, and if the child is prone to nightmares I think
forget the 10 year old. if i go see it at the IMAX, am i going to have nightmares for a while?
I dunno, this is supposed to be a more grown up version of batman. Yet they're marketing all these toys and stuff. I think a good test would be showing them Batman Begins, if they like it and aren't scared, I'd say it's not as scary for a kid compared to Two-face, then they could try seeing it.
no way. i'd let a ten-year-old see some pg-13 movies, but not this one.
Not before I viewed it. Now that I have seen it I would say to follow the ratings! No younger than 13.
@TressaD - Even if it was pixar? =P
no-I never let my kids see movies unless I saw them first. I still wouldn't.
@TigerIly - not even if it was pixar ! :)
I wouldn't bring my 10 year old, but she's the stereotypical girl: she likes tween movies, like the Bratz Movie and Aquamarine; she also likes the animated "kid" flicks. She'd have nightmares for days with this one.
I saw it last night, and I think that my 10 year old son would be able to handle it just fine.
No way.
I saw the movie last night and was appalled that a couple next to us brought their child who was under 4. The hell??? Clowns are scary dude!
I wouldn't think a movie that revolves around death and sanity would be very appropriate for any ten year old!
i wouldnt, it was PRETTY scary...
