    I think we treat kids a little too much like they're breakable these days. My most memorable "kids" movies were the ones with scary crap in em. Neverending story was pretty bleak and that darn wolf scared the bajeezus outta me. Empire strikes back has hand chopping and frozen Han and all sorts of stuff.

    This is not those movies. I definitely recommend watching it first and then deciding if watching the R-rated version of the Joker - the REAL Joker, the fiendish Moriarty to Batman's Holmes - is acceptable for your kid.

    Because while the rating on this is PG-13, the Joker is not. Some people's kids won't have a problem with it, but I wouldn't take any elementary school kid to it as a general rule.

    I saw it yesterday and it was so crowded that I wound up in the 3rd row way to close to the action and sound..

    I want to see it again but would totally agree that younger kids under 15-16 should not see this one.. I might change my mind after seeing again but I doubt it..

    getting good reviews will remain busy for awhile When I went yesterday it was an early movie and bought my tickets on-line got the show 35 minutes early and had to set in the 3rd row I'm still recovering my hearing from that..
    It was at cine mark with stadium seating.. was looking straight up at the movie and did not need my glasses at all..


    If the DA had not died I could see him coming back as a bad guy.. I thought that was what they were setting up..Untill the end..

    anyone want to guess at the sequel?

    Yea, we got lucky. We were about in the 6th or 7th row but we were about 30 minutes early. Saw some great trailers for The Spirit and Watchmen as well. But Dark Knight was quite excellent. Ledger did a fantastic job. IMO

    Mr GF and I really wanted to see this in the IMAX, but it was too far away from where we were staying. Had we been just a young married couple with no kids, yup, we'd have done it.

    Anyway, I bought tickets for the 8:15 show at new theater in the afternoon, and we got there 30 minutes early and still had to sit in the 5th row.

    I agree with what everyone said. There are bits that kids can handle, but some parts would be a bit much.

    If Heath Ledger isn't nominated for an Oscar for his role, I might have to stage a protest. His performance was... wow.

    What did you think of the "magic pencil trick?"

    We went to the IMAX down at I25 & Colorado. Show was at 7pm, got there at 5:45. Line already going down the stairs. Got great seats. Damn good movie! The Joker had some pretty good lines. Him in the nurses outfit had me rolling. Good stuff!

    Unfortunately, we live in a world where 11 year olds get pregnant, 12 year olds get involved in drugs and 13 year olds murder others.

    Seeing a movie like this will have little to no effect.

    Um, ok...but I'm assuming neither Claymore nor GEM has pregnant junkie murderers for kids, so for their kids it might be a little much.

    If somebody does have pregnant junkie murderers for kids, by all means take them to the movie when they're not in rehab, jail or the hospital. It might even be a bit tame for them.

    But I try not to assume just because some kids are unhinged and growing up too fast that everyone's kids should get on that learning curve.

    "Some men just want to watch the world burn."

    I thought the conflict between justice and chaos to be as bitter and uneasy as it should be; that was very well played. Easily the most interesting 'comic flick' I've ever seen, and a good movie on its own.
