rated r movies, how old should we be Options

[brian_deegan]

i think we should only have to be 15

[*AngelicEyz00*]

I say 16. Maybe only cuz I'm 16 =\

[dani41790]

i think 14 since im almost 14 n yea i lyke watchin rated r movies, jus not with mai parents n stuff.

[whomps]

i think it should stay the same as it is.. rated R movies. some kids can really act out violence from the media you knoww? yeah, when that happens, it's scary shizz. and it's sad.

[*CEP*]

I think 15 or 16.
Because at the age of 12, kids have seen enough R Rated movies to be allowed in anyways.
We've become descensitized(sp?)

[Senorita_Babo]

u know wha...ratings r stupid...because 10 yr olds CAN a hold of an R rated movie... so y is the rating there??

[soadturner]

Im 16, and I hate it that I have to get my dad to buy tix for Kill Bill vol. 2

[immersion31]

i'd prefer that as long as the parent is ok wit it, the child can go, wit out the parents

[177emories]

i'd say 18, cause it's rated R for a reason...

[CloudUnionX]

17

[*CJ1*]

I don't care because theres lots of R rated T.V movies on TV... So, its useless...

[x3Janex3]

yu know everything before 15

[Jiggapin0]

I've been watching R-rated movies since I was like 7. My parents are so chill.

[hybrid]

Ratings have been like those nutrition facts that hardly anyone reads. I said 14 because people younger than me knows more than they really need to.

[*jimmyjackiechan*]

at least 16, ne younger would be no no.

17 seems fine, cause seriously, if (the older people in here knows) u look back at 16, u remember u was still immature at that time and did some still stupid things.

[Kris87]

i'm 16 and turning 17 in a month and i was watching rated r movies ever since i was like in the 5th grade...my mom practically let me watch that stuff. so i picked 14 for the appropriate age. there isn't anything realy wrong with it unless you are that type of person that would actually try to mimick what the ppl in the movies do lol

[pbear]

14 - The sooner I can see The Boondock Saints, the better.

[*Kathleen*]

I said fourteen, only because most kids have seen all the stuff in rated-R movies either on the street or in school already. Heh. Well, at least in my school, anyways...Besides, those that would mimick what's on the movie would also mimick stuff on TV...are you gonna take of reality TV shows that do extreme stunts because kids are going to copy it?

[LinknPrk__003]

i said 15 cuz always when i wanted to go see a rated r movie the manger would bitch at me and my friends.

[Flaunted]

15........ i mean like everyone said most kids have seen all the violence somewhere or moment in there lifetime. my mom let me watch r rated since i was in 5th grade too!!

[LQ_Darksoul]

I saw my first rated R movie when I was about 8. And I enjoyed it.. Sure it gave me nightmares, but that's part of life. After watching them for so long I've come to the conclusion that when you can understand whats going on in a movie, then your old enough to watch the worst of them. I think it's a big step in the learning process. If I hadn't seen porn on cable when I was 11 I wouldn't have known was sex was till late in life... I thuroughly enjoy horror and gore movies... They are very entertaining to me...I grew up watching them... Hasn't phased me too terribly...

[xislandxstylex]

i think we should be 14..cuz i'm 14..and i'm tired of seeing movies with my parents

[LQ_Darksoul]

I think it should be 21 now...Just so xislandxstylex will have to keep seeing movies with their parents :-d

[tomorrow_nvr_com...]

I think that it is good how it is. Think about it...what use to be rated r is like pg now...nobody the rating have been farely nice to us teenagers...thatz just my opinion.

[euroFUSION]

I voted 'fourteen', because I am fourteen myself, and I'm not immature when it comes to watching any films. Nothing in R-rated films really bother me. I don't giggle at some mild sexuality or cover my eyes for the majority of the film if there's violence. It doesn't affect my life, so... yep.

[mznina]

you should b at least 17 over.

[da_confuzed_001]

ive been watching rated r movies since 7th grade. so i picked 14...mi parents didn't really care.

[jaeman]

I think it should be 14

[LinknPrk__003]

I have older friends that take me to rated r movies cuz i dont have my ID yet we just lie and say that where brothers .I cant stand going to a rated r movie with my mom.

[angel-roh]

even tho im 16... i dont say 16 shuld be legal to watch rated r movies... heh but... i think it's better off with 16...becus it's even number...and for 14 year old...it's too young? heh... cus they should be in high skool grade? heh.... 15 years is ok too...but thats an odd number! so i say sweet sixteen!! just right... i mean 17?!?!?!?! who start that up? psh ODD NUMBER! lols hehe i hate when they say "u have to be 17 to get in...sorry" omq...hahaha there is reallllie weird girl...talking soooo preppy and say "u have to be 17 to get in... so sorry... pls move" omggg hahaaha i wanted to pull her hair so bad hahaaha^^;; jp

[Princess_sarsa]

it doesnt really matter in the end, because they are gunna get in anyways. but i say its there for a reason, yet it should be lowered to 16. i mean u candrive at that age

[Senorita_Babo]

if the movie has the kid's favorite actor/actress in it, THEY WILL SEE IT regardless of the rating, and even if u set a certain age, like 17, wha bout 16 yr olds? they r ONLY one year away from 17, so itz not a big deal for them to see a r-rated movie.

[xsnowxangelx425]

i think 17.. that way u weed out SOME of the immiture ppl

[illyria]

i say 16. you can legally drive to the f*&k!n theater so you should legally be able to watch any movie ya want...

[tkproduce]

i think rated-R has too broad a range. Some I say 14 year olds can watch, some i say they can't. in england they have rated-15s and rated-18s, which i think is a bit more sensible. something like "Face Off" is a 15 and something like "Eyes Wide Shut" is an 18.

[alfskater]

I voted other yo, I think it should depend on parents and the movie business should be like hollywood video where the parent authorizes their kid under 17 to rate R rated movies and M games. So it should be up to the parent. Cause I remember that my parents would allow me to watch R rated movie since I was like 10 or younger because they were gory and I'm doing fine. So yeah.

[cutielilsuga]

i say you should be 17 and since it is like high school age you pretty much know what ever you need to know about it....i mean when it comes to it certain ages aren't so good to see rated r movies and it sometimes gives people ideals...which is not a good thing

[F_L_I_P]

i say 16 cuz thats my age.

[to_god_damn_ghet...]

i say 16. Now rated x movies should be like...banned from every age.

[WhiteChocolate]

I think it should stay 17. DEFINITELY none under 16. I think the ratings are fine as they are.

Think of it this way...If you have everything you want when you're 14, then what is there to look forward to? Seriously, I am turning 17 in July and I am kinda excited because now I won't have to worry about sneaking into R Rated movies! lmao!

Seriously. Seventeen is perfect.

i voted for 14 cuz im 14, but almost 15...umm well, i think rated R should be just around 15 or so, and those PG13 movies should be around the ages for 9.....kids learn to cuss early u kno

[L00d]

17.

[craziplaya21]

i dont care cuz im 17 and of legal age 2 watch rate r movies ^_^

[ostrasized]

if i was 35 and not 18 with kids id probably let them watch rated r movies, simply b/c i dont give a fudge, besides that if you emphasize good moral values to ur children enough u wont have to worry about what their eyes see or their ears hear b/c ull know they wont try anything crazy or violent or anything like that, but like i really know im a kid myself.......

[LatinaLady]

i think people who should see rated r moveis are people who are mature maybe the least 15 years old.

[*Nina*Renee*]

i dont know what to say to this one, never thought about it much

[kirbymuixo]

i would say either age 15 or 16

[WhiteChocolate]

Augh I can't believe all these votes for 14 and 15. I think those aren't very mature ages to be watching R movies.


That annoys me....

[sweetlyz]

they swear like we don`t see enough rated r stuff on tv and on the internet .. sheesh! i think at the age of 15 or 16 is when kids can watch it at movies. but i think its BS how you have to be 21 in order to bring someone under 17 to watch a rated r movie .. but if you`re not bringing anyone younger, 17 is the minimum age. gRrRr!

[*Kathleen*]

Our society has become so desensitized that it shouldn't even matter to have ratings anymore.

[*NatiMarie*]

I say 15 because I guess I've seen Rated R movies (well since I was really young), and I've always wanted to go in a theater by myself, at the age of 13. I don't know, it just depends on your maturity level and what you can take to see. If that made sense...hmm...yeah. I want to see Rated R movies alone, darnit, one more year...just one more year.

[123321x]

it doesn't really matter unless u go by ur self i geuss.

[tinababy143]

i think 16 or 17 i guess..maybe 15..i dunno..cos its not like teenagers these days dont know anything about violence or sex they see and hear it all the time at school or on the media..sOoOoO..yeah..im not quite shure..undecided

[casssy]

I think it should be 15... just wait i think.. it sucks not being able to go to a move u wanna see.. I dunno lol

[divinity_star]

I say it should be where it is...It isn't going to kill people to wait however many years just to see a movie...

[*tweeak*]

I voted 'fourteen', because I am fourteen myself, and I'm not immature when it comes to watching any films. Nothing in R-rated films really bother me. I don't giggle at some mild sexuality or cover my eyes for the majority of the film if there's violence. It doesn't affect my life, so... yep.

i agree with that exactly...although i havent really seen that many, it kind of depends on whats in it

[triipinfserious]

many rated R movies have differnent content so it`s hard to pick and age .. but i saw my first R movie @ 10 or somethin`

[WhiteChocolate]

Ahh, over in europe I think they just rate every movie different. Like some movies are 15+ and others could be 14+ or 17+, etc. I think that would probably be a better way to do it than the R, PG-13, PG thing...because some R rated movies could be viewed by 15 year olds really, but some are more geared towards..."mature" audiences.

[Just_Dream]

I say 16 becuase that's when peopel star to mature. Lol ahahs yea I'm 16. But when I was younger, I always though sixteen was a good age. Beucse girls have those celebrations on their birthday, their sweet sixteen So that's why i saw 16.

[thedilenquent]

i think things are fine with the under 17 not admitted without parent.... what harm is done? and even if your younger than that... go to the movies with your parents, i must admit my parents arent the best but im cool enough with them to go to a rated - r movie withought feeling uncomfortable. but its tthe gorernment they control everything

[hybrid]

Yes, I agree. 16 is a good number, because it seems like 16 is the great "mature" age aside from 18. That's when you're illegal; for everyone else that isn't 18, we're illegal.

[EmeraldKnight]

well.. i think it depends on why the movie's rated "R" but 16 or 17's a good number

[xxFantasybebiboo...]

15 !!!

[dogo]

i think... 15.. is good...

[orlando_bloom_lu...]

im 12 and ive seen some rated R movies... but i dpends which kinda rated r we're talking about.... but i'd say about 15 or 16

[ul0vejoy]

yeaa.. my parents never cared either. but hmm.. prolly 15ish would be ok.

[OriskybusinessO]

It depends on the movie. Cause some older movies [Blues Bros. Stand By Me] are just rated R for language. But here, in Las Vegas, they have this card you can buy for your kids to let them see rated R movies w/o thier parents being there. Cool!! My parents still wont get it its because rated R movies are worse now than they were back then...

[*MrMonkeyTaco*]

i think its not really an age..but how the kid is about R rated stuff....make sense?..

[Yemmerz]

I said 15. Most kids know a lot by 10 People at the movies don't bother me cause I look old>>according to some people.

[*tweeak*]

who cares? its easy enough to buy tickets to another movie then walk in. at my theater they only tke tickets at the front and then never check again

[bobbster]

I don't think it really matters. I'm under thirteen and I've seen more rated-R movies more than anything. It depends on why it is rated-R. Most parents don't want their children seeing rated-R movies because of sexuality and violence.

[uLoVeMikeRoch]

I say as soon as your born, cuz this age crap is really annoying
theres always about the FCC and the NPAA and the NCEA about m rated video games and movies and ****
its bull ****

[*FreeStickers*]

I dont think there should be any age limit. Either way, kids are still going to get in. THe movie theatre I go to doesn't even check ID, so what difference does it make?

[onenonly101]

i see no point in changing the age

[xxANGExx]

My friends and I have been watching them since we were 13, so I'd say 14 or 15 would be a fine age.

[FlamingFungi]

Being biased to change the age limit to your own age, just so that you could see them is quite selfish.

... games and movies and ****
its bull ****

Yea, that's probably why we wouldn't want little kids to watch rated R movies, just look at your language!

[JlIaTMK]

14!!!!!!!!!!

[NYsmiLez]

at least 16, ne younger would be no no.

17 seems fine, cause seriously, if (the older people in here knows) u look back at 16, u remember u was still immature at that time and did some still stupid things.

took the words right out of my mouth

[muahmuah5]

i dont think their should be a age at all---they should only make ur parents sign a paper or something

[xsweetdreams12x]

I'm 12 and seen a fair amount of Rated-R movies. They were on video though...

I dunno. I guess, it should be based on how well a kid can take obscene material for their age.

[bhrama]

everybody should be allowed after the age of eight....thas when we wander off into our parents room and find the hidden porn tapes below the mattress right next to the dead body and the bloody gun....hahaha i made a funny!

[DisneyPrincessKa...]

My first rated R movie was Speed. I was 5 and I thought it was hot. I just wasn't allowed to tell my dad haha.

[inlonelinessidie]

I've been watching R rated movies since I was like . . . 2. Probably even before that. My parents didn't really care. But legally . . . I think kids that are 16 should be able to watch it because that is the legal age average in most places.

[Retrogressive]

honestly, why not I mean, you can see it all on cable anyway.

haha bhrama

[vehvih]

well it's all about decisions

[babixlilac]

i guess 15 cus im 15 nd i dun wanna ask people to get it fo me

[Deppism]

14!!!

[bballchick1]

i voted other because i'm 12 now & i saw a movie rated r when i was 10 & i've seen tons more...so yea i said other

[imadorkabledxd]

i say 16

[DittotoAnne18]

like 14 - does it really matter? I mean im 13 now but i watched rated R movies when i was like 10 lol..

[midnitexrose]

i dunno, maybe 15, but i watched rated r movies when i was a kid. i just ignored the rated scenes tho. maybe becuz i was mature 2 watch it. lol

[[i]LLMATiC]

i think wen ur mature enough.. or when your parents say you can but i guess 14 giv or take a year or 2

[swtpumkinpie]

I think 15 or 16.
Because at the age of 12, kids have seen enough R Rated movies to be allowed in anyways.
We've become descensitized(sp?)

- Chinkieeyedpnoi

i agree.

i know when i was 15 or 16, i didn't know much about anything but the 15 and 16 year olds today know everything. hehe

[pnai4eva]

It doesn't really matter. I watch rated R movies like all the time anyway.

[leeeza702]

I think it should just stay the way it is... 17 to watch 'R' rated movies... I mean, c'mon now, it's rated 'R' for a reason... plus I hate it when little teeny boppers are watching the same movie as I am.. they act so immature, it's just really annoying.. so it's nice to get away from the teeny boppers when I watch an 'R' rated movie...

[glit_gal]

i say 16 b/c by then hopefully you should know what things in rated R movies mean.

[MeanBastard]

13 is a good age. You already learn about as much as you need to.

[melface]

I don't really understand this whole you have to be 17+ to get into rated R movies... yet you're what? 13-16 and paying the price of an adult to get into the movie... If their going to make you pay for yourself as an adult, they can at least treat you as one.

[ComradeRed]

It depends on WHAT rated R movie. Some should be 17, while others (like bowling for columbine) should be perfectly acceptable for anyone to watch. I think that at least 1/3 to 1/2 of Rated R movies are overrated. Most of these are political movies. James Bond has more violence, much more sex, and about the same amount of language as Farenheit 911, Bowling for Columbine, or the Manchurian Canddiate, which are all Rated R -- my best guess is because of politics.

[is2diexd]

i don't think it should matter because some people are more mature than other people at that age -_-.. and i personally LOVE Hard Gore(Puahaha) and all these other disturbing stuff, im perfectly fine with it, i have no problems sleeping at night or anything.. but because of the rating i can't go watch it for like 4 damn years -_- unless i make friends with the people at the theatre or something -_-..

so it should be up to the people who are buying the tickets to judge for themselves whether the movie is suitable for them or not.
