That is why I am doing this information search which has become a position rationalization.
What age is your son?
Wow, okay so you are you going to be judgemental now? Again why don't you go discuss this in the parents forum not here. Let the people that actually know about the book discuss their plans for the movie.
All of this was detailed above but you are too emotionally wrought over this film/book to stand any possible criticism. That really is the problem. PG-13 ratings do not exhibit a degree of violence but what is indicated but I have now read other reviews and spoke with someone personally who indicates it is violent.
Well, appears your are quite affected by these series of teenage intended novels. Hence my supposition.

The other poster mentioned her son. She opened the door to that line of questioning not me.
In your zeal to find error and incredulity with me you overlooked the important part of that post and the antecedents to it.
I really am beginning to believe you are some sort of fan-child who is unreasoning. Good to know I have spent all of the this time communicating with an adult.
Well. You mentioned it and I have asked for the age group intended for this film. PG-13 indicates younger than 13 with guidance. Perhaps your demographic is different than mine.

I agree with the second.
My son is not yet a teenager. But my "guidance" over him will not stop when he turns 13, either.

Several people have criticized it in this thread and said that they were not going to see it. I said nothing to them because it is their decision. But you made a general assumption about the movie and brought in the entire subject of how parents are letting their children see this movie. You my friend are the one that changed the direction of this thread. In fact you seem to be putting your emotions and personal beliefs into this.
I was just trying to fill you in that the movie's plot was deeper than you were making it out to be, and then you brought in the whole subject of parents and kids watching this. Don't believe me, go ahead and read back the previous posts.

I agree. I was exposed to a lot of horror movies and violent movies, where I was probably too young to watch, but my parent's educated it on me enough that it didn't have an effect on my character and the way I behave. I knew it wasn't real and that it was just entertainment.
Kids are much smarter and exposed to things than people give them credit for. You can either guide them or pull them away, but pulling them away will only increase their interest in it and probably cause more problems.

Not at all. I am entirely impassive but fascinated at your contortions over this topic. I do not understand fan-ism.
But I have since the original posting found I am correct. The film has rather violent moments which an acquaintance who viewed the film was also surprised considering the rating.
I think you need to read back on yours and reflect on your conduct.
