While there is one questionable scene, my own two boys saw the movie (with Mom and Dad) on Sunday. In my opinion, unless the child is VERY sensitive, I really don't see a problem.
Other posters have spoken about the scenes which probably caused the PG-13 rating, so I won't reiterate them here.
I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, as did hubby and the kids.
No matter what you decide, though, I'm sure it will be the right choice for your son.
Regards,
PS: If your boy saw the Spiderman movies or Jurassic Park, he won't have any trouble with this one.
My son is 7. I talked with him about the movie this afternoon. I think my husband and I will go see it first and if we think he can handle it then I'll take him. My son assured me he knew it wasn't real. I just don't want it to be disturbing.
I understand everyone's definition of "bad" differs. He had no problem seeing the other 5 over the past year. I wanted to know how this differed and got the PG13 rating. Sounds like it is basically more graphic.
So, I'll make up my mind after seeing it myself. Thanks for all the input.
