With something like 25 to 50 million kids in our nation alone, vulnerable to their manipulations, I think my comments were rather mild.

May your families be cursed for generations to come,
Don't stoop to their level friend. It will all come out in the wash.

There are warnings to the unrepentant, and also warnings to believers to subrogate their wrath to the Lord, who reserves certain tasks to Himself:
Exodus 34
6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.
Jeremiah 31
28 And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the LORD.
29 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.
30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
Romans 12:
19Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,"[1] says the Lord. 20 Therefore
"If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
If he is thirsty, give him a drink;
For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head."[2]
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
[1.] 12:19 Deuteronomy 32:35
[2.] 12:20 Proverbs 25:21, 22

"With something like 25 to 50 million kids in our nation alone, vulnerable to their manipulations, I think my comments were rather mild." A has already said to you "don't decend to their level."
I must say however that you have a great point. Who is it that rated the movie R ?
Before the release the knock was that the movie would cause anti-semitism...all that did was cause the attendance to grow.
Now the knock is it is too violent for children under 17...seems to me that this is an attempt to prevent the movie from influencing our youth.
Being a father of 4, two under 17, one 16 and one 13, I would say that if the children under 17 are aware of the true events and given the general violence in the medium, they should and will see it.
