So, yeah, PG-13

Delia is so not seeing this movie.

And she is going to be so pissed at me when I tell her so. *Sigh*

Edited to add: I just told her. She cried awfully hard.

Yeah Rachael's not seeing it either and she's upset.

Ouch! Good Luck!

Anyway... is it good?

Yeah. Ebert & Roeper had said that most kids wouldn't have trouble with it.

So when I saw it myself, I was surprised. I knew the film would be dark out of necessity and I knew a lot of what the last fight would involve, but still.

I felt very comfortable advising my friend with the nine-year-old that she possibly wanted to wait on this.

Luckily my Rachel isn't particularly interested (she fell asleep watching the Clones on DVD) and neither am I (the Clones were pretty narcolepsy-inducing to me as well). I can wait for the DVD, and the advantages to that from her standpoint are a) she'll be older (definitely past her eleventh birthday) when the DVD comes out, and b) any intense scenes can be stilled while we take a break and then come back to it later. (This was how Ben first viewed the FoTR, for instance, as well as TTT.) Ben wants to see it, of course, being a nearly thirteen-year-old boy, and I think his dad wants to as well, so we'll just treat this as a Guy Movie for now and pair of them can go off and see it together.

Which part cinched it for you?

The whole thing is sinister. Next week on the playgound, every eight year-old who didn't see the movie is going to be called a baby by every eight year-old who did. I don't blame them for making the movie they wanted to make, but they really should have toned down the full saturation marketing campaign for a movie that not every family would be able to experience.

Well, I've been going around telling everyone to read the book...maybe you could read it and see if you think it would be too much for her, and then at least she would get something.

Jen and I just got back from seeing it. I think you made the right call.

Anakin's fate was pretty gruesome, and the scenes where the purge of the Jedi was carried out were extremely intense.

Ogh. Maybe I don't want to let myself see it.

I didn't make it through the film.

I left after Mace Windu died. It was that bad.

Promise a rewatch of the original 3?

A rental of the dvd of something else? Because this was terrible. And I at 28 didn't make it to the end...

By the time the DVD comes out, she should be up to the good parts version.
