I am so sick of morons (like Ms Schussel, AND her fans commenting on her site ) who jump to the conclusion that every single comic is for kids, and so are all “superhero” movies. Moore’s Watchmen graphic novel is a great read-and it has ALWAYS been understood by all halfway reasonable people (leaving out poor overwrought Debby) that it’s for the 18 and over crowd. Ditto this film, which I will certainly see ASAP.
The problem (I suspect) is that many parents will also be clueless and think it’s for the kiddies. I’d say the R rating would give them a clue but you might be surprised how many of my elementary students would tell me about this or that R rated movie they saw.
Her point was that parents would be bringing 10 year olds to this film and witnessed such action.
She may have found the movie pointless but ultimately she is concerned about some parents who may come to the film bringing the kids because they don’t want to say “no”.
