To those who took children to see Infinity War (unmarked spoiler thread)
- Thread starter MasterYoshi
- Start date
Any tears are wasted. Principals don't actually die anymore in franchise properties. They all be back.
Ok? This thread is literally about kids. Cynicism has no hold here.
I brought my son, who is almost 13, and he was fine.
However, I would have never brought him when he was 8 - he was super sensitive regarding movies back then, even when characters were hurt, much less killed. IW would have been a 3 hour nightmare for him back then.
Every kid is going to react differently, and it’s up to the parent to know their child.

It is not a movie for kids, people don't take violence serious enough. I was wondering how the 12 year olds in the theater entered and here we have people taking their 8 year old kids to this?
EDIT: Ok it apparently is rated for 12 and up, didn't know that. Felt like a 16+ movie.

That was actually the first time I ever worried about my kids reactions and I nearly turned the movie off when it looked like
Bumblebee
They turned to ash. So it’s like dying plus a free cremation.
Apparently it was re-rated to a higher rating at some point. For some bizarre reason, the main IMDB page shows the original PG rating. When I go to the certifications page, it lists the newer ratings.
My dayghters loved it. Ages 9&11. They had a million questions on the ride home which we were happy to discuss.
Well my son is upset that they killed a ton of his favorite characters, but I think they going peacefully helped
Yes, T2 as well but I was talking about the original movie where he was the bad guy. I thought he was really cool so I wasn’t upset when Sarah Connor crushed him. Lol
I think peter going hit me the hardest, that confusion. Holding onto Tony as a father figure, as a dad..that hit me
it's funny cause i was never impacted by character death and so on when i was a kid, never sad, nothing could shock me! It was just fiction and i didn't try to think beyond that
I display way more emotions today with media in general (i'm 30)
It still have to be extremely well done for it to make me cry, but it happens (not marvel movies though)
anyway, kids will be fine watching this, it might impact them, but it's not a bad thing

Meanwhile, in the 80s, we were watching Nazi faces melt off and talking about how cool it was the next day at school.
I promised months ago to my five year old that he could go with my wife and I to see infinity war.
I’ve been afraid that it’s going to be his “transformers movie” moment.

The 'deaths' gave this movie much needed consequences yes kids were more silent than average and a few said they were sad.
I thought that scene looked ridiculous to take seriously, but im no fan of this new spider man
The only reason Spideys death stuck with me is because of the great acting. You could see Peter steel up and accept his fate right at the end.
I do hope he has cool shit to do in the sequel, but I have have a feeling all the people who died at the end won't remember anything when they are brought back. That would suck.

I watched a 3pm screening with a lot of children in the theatre and the ash scene made the audience a mix of crying, screaming, yelling, and gasps.
Most fun audience reaction I've had at a movie in a long while. Made my day.
