My dad doesn't know wheither he should take my little brother or not. my brother has seen movies like iron man 2 and lord of the rings. (though I'm not sure I would have let him see them if it were up to me). what do you guys think ?

EDIT: thanks for the responses. ya we went and saw it. And think it was probably alright for him.

I don't think you should judge by age alone, it depends on his maturity. If he still laughs at fart jokes and hasn't had much experience with other PG-13 movies, then I'd say no. Transformers 3 can be a litle sugestive, and the violence is much more outright then before (especially towards humans).

So I'd say let him watch Transformers 1 if anything, gauge his reaction and how mature he was towards it, then let him watch 3 if he's mature enough.

Not really, the movie has scenes of people literally being blown apart...although you can't see any blood it's still disturbing.

Meh, I watched plenty of R-rated movies when I was 9, I'm pretty sure he'll be fine. :P

When I went to see transformers 1,2 and 3 most of the audience was 7 or 8 year old kids and their relatives. And considering lots of toys are distributed for kids. I think it'll be ok. Sure there are explosions and people dying but it can't be worse than the Lord of the Rings (and I'm sure he saw that at an early age)

Absolutely. The way it was scripted, you'd think it would have actually been made for a 9 year old.

Lot more violent than the previous two films... Scenes where humans are just getting vaporized and characters getting executed...

But it isn't real... So as long as you establish that I don't see how it could be harmful to them.

I like how the mom in Transformers 2 said she got weed from a guy with dreads, and her husband was like "it's reefer!" and then shia labouf was like, "nope! and the mom was like, "his cherry hasn't popped yet" and shia was like "hi" and the dude from office dropped an apple and was like "i know everything" and the robot with the beard, now that was awesome, I mean I think that was the only robot I've ever seen that can grow facial hair ...........

it was pretty violent, like humans getting shot and their flesh getting turned to ash by some fancy ray gun, leaving only a skeleton behind.

But so was Lord of the Rings. So I'd argue its ok for him to see it.

My dad doesn't know wheither he should take my little brother or not. my brother has seen movies like iron man 2 and lord of the rings. (though I'm not sure I would have let him see them if it were up to me). what do you guys think ?

dkdk999

I was watching movies like Aliens and The Thing by the time that I was 7.

So...it all depends on the kid in question. I can't tell you, since I don't know the kid.

Although I'd say that the Lord of the Rings movies actually got fairly dark and scary at certain parts. And if he could handle that, I don't see Transformers really being a big issue.

But again...I don't know the kid. You do. Do YOU think that the kid is mature enough to watch a Transformers movie?

Matrix 2 and 3; Star Wars 1, 2, and 3; Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse. So not even close.
