Are your children too young for PG-13 movies?

Scott & I went to see this Transformers Dark of the Moon on Saturday. I really don't care for movies like this but it was pretty good. Anyways there were a pretty good amount of children in the theater. Even under the age of 13. Although its PG-13 some parents think its ok to take their 5,6,7 year olds. I personally think it should be rated R. The little boy sitting behind us was no older 6, he was crying at one point. I even mentioned to Scott I can see a Dad taking his child to these types of movies, but a Mother! 

This child should have been watching Winnie the Pooh.

Parents are suppose to protect their children. Not expose them to violence.

I don't understand it at all.

I think It's pretty clear why this movie is NOT for children....
"Transformers : Dark of the Moon" is rated PG 13 because of 'intense prolonged sequences of sci-fi action violence , mayhem and destruction , and for language , some sexuality and innuendo' 

Watch part of the movie here

Would you allow your children to watch this?

~GROWN UP, ADULT MOVIES are for GROWN UPS and ADULTS.

You're children are growing up fast enough why expose them to the violence at such an early age?

What part of that don't parents understand.

Don't wonder why little Johnny is being so violent after taking him to see this.

When they turn 7,8,9 are they going to be allowed to watch rated R? age 12,13 rated X? When will they be allowed to drink, have alcohol?

If you ever wonder about if a movie is suitable for your child/children. I would recommend visiting Common Sense Media. ◦
