Film Certs
Would you give a 12a cert film to either a 5 year old or an 8 year old?

Re: Film Certs
Maybe to the 8 year old, but not the 5 year old. I'd also ask the parents first.
It depends on the film

I watched Batman when I was 8 and I think that was a 15. There are other 12's however that may not be appropriate. |

It was the parents who gave the kids the films. Seemed rather inappropriate to me but it sounds like I'm being a little over sensitive.
Dad says that he tells kids that zombies (don't know which films he's shown them) aren't real so that makes it ok. The (now) 5 year old endured Harry Potter a couple of years ago - was terrified! |

Re: Film Certs
Yep, for pre 5 and even 5 year olds I wouldn't show them Harry Potter movies, they are too scary in parts, especially the latter ones.

Re: Film Certs
I think people should pay attention to the ratings. They are there for a reason. It's like giving 10yr old Timmy GTA (18 rated) then complaining that it has given him nightmares or bad ideas. What film was it by the way?

One was an x men film, the other was captain America |

Re: Film Certs
willy wonka gave my youngest a nightmare so the ratings are flawed.
i have never bothered with ratings and my kids have always had free reign to watch what ever they liked. my kids were always told 'if you dont like it dont watch it'. |

Sounds like you have a similar view to my inlaws - it's not perfect so ignore it. Not my view and it may well be fine for some kids or kids of a certain age.
I suppose that I worry that certain films will have a negative impact on them even if they chose to watch them. Appreciate your input tho |

Re: Film Certs
You need to make your own mind up.
After all Paddington Bear is a PG? Harry Potter movies also scared my son when he was younger.
