Totally dependant on the child.

For us:

Keeping in mind DS doesn't replicate violence. DD is only just allowed to watch certain lovey dovey stuff. But generally through her own choice she'll fast forward or change the channel. I actually have more of a problem with 2 tweens/teens expressing love in an adult way than I do with adults being... Well adults. So no twilight etc. DD also loves horror. Whereas DS is prone to nightmares and is a little more sensitive. Even to things that are for kids that DD loved at that age.


Teenage mutant ninja turtles? 6-8

Star Wars (original trilogy) 5-8

Star Wars (I II and III) 5-8

The narnia movies? 5-8

Tron Legacy? 5-8

The hobbit/LoTR? 8-12 (because of the violence)

The matrix? 11 - 13 (because of the violence and sexual references in other movies)

AVatar? 11 - 13 I hate that this is seen as a kid friendly film because its cartoon. BS. It's violent and has sexual content.

Keep in mind this is a guide for my children.
