US ratings are meaningless in this country. Then again, Dutch ratings are meaningless to me too. I decide what I think my child is fit for and will not cause him nightmares.
He's seen all the SW stuff so that doesn't scare him. Some SW stuff is rated 12 here which I find kinda' weird.
He's seen some Harry Potter but he was looking away at the scary scenes....
The funny thing is in the US the rating would probably be high for Titanic because of Kate's naked tits scene
A million violently killed people is OK, but not a nipple ! Jeez, it's one of the first things a baby sees !
Anyway, he's just turned 10 and still grabs my hand when we are walking in the darkish alley to my parents house. I do not believe that confronting of really scary stuff to young kids is a good thing. I'm talking f.i. the Alien(s) movies, that would be a no-no. He can see those when he's a bit older.
The LOTR movies...maybe in a year or two....there's no rush. These will survive and I'm sure they will all be 3Ded by that time and on the big screen again by that time
