Anyone going to see Revenge of the Sith????

I took four teens to this movie on Thursday afternoon (Starting at 5:30) (We won free tickets...those are the best kind.) I enjoyed the movie...except for the little BRATS that people brought to this movie. What is wrong with some people!?!?! The movie is rated PG 13 for a reason. The family sitting in front of us had two small children (I'd guess the ages to be about 5 and 3.) The youngest was talking and walking down the aisle and there was another child yelling and screaming. People, if you can't get a babysitter, wait until it comes out on video. Also,I just don't think that some of the scenes were appropriate for children under 10. Even my 9 year-old would have been scared. Ok, this has turned into a rant. Sorry about that. I RARELY go to the movie theatre, but my 16 year-old would have "died" if we couldn't go on opening day.

Hi Shirley,

My son is 9 and there is no way I could have waited until this movie came out on video. He was way too excited and knows everything about Star Wars...he was counting the days until it came out.

But, he's a good boy and very well behaved. You wouldn't have heard a peep out of him. He even whispers at the movies when he has a question so he doesn't bother anyone.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience though.

My GD is 9 and she did fine also. DD brought her to the ladies room a couple of times to potty but other than that, she sat there and was very well behaved.

There were six little ones in front of us ranging from about 4 to 10 and they were angels. Didn't hear a peep out of them even when Mom got up to go to the ladies room.

Whether or not this film was appropriate or not appropriate for children of a certain age is subjective. When my daughter grew up, there were no ratings so I had to make those decisions on my own. I guess I'm still old school in that regard. It was gruesome in some scenes but not any more gruesome than some of the cartoons on the Cartoon Network, IMHO.

P.S. Shirely, sounds like the parents in your situation are the problem. Children only know what they are taught. Doesn't sound like these parents were responsible at all.x(

Well, I would think a child under 5 wouldn't really sit for that kind of movie anyway. I know that my 9 yo would sit still and be quiet, and I also know that a couple of scenes (face melting and anakin burning) would have scared her. She isn't exposed to many violent type of movies so that would explain why she would be scared.
