Hate watching teasers, ruins all the good parts. Reading the last book right now.

The last part of the last book is straight ****ed up.

LIES!!!

LMAO

I still haven't, but I will.

Got to see a pre-screen of this movie tonight. Pretty good flick, stayed true to the book with a handful of adjustments. My daughter loved it. She's halfway through the third book, while I've only read the first one.

Eager audience, but there were instances of cheering/clapping during the movie which is unusual.

No doubt. Unneccesarily so IMO.

I'm not suggesting what to let your kids watch at what age in any way, but I was watching crap like Nightmare On Elm Street and Friday the 13th when I was like 6. Then again, that wasn't my parents choice. They password protected our cable box and my brother and I started at 0000 and just did as many numbers as we could each day until we got the right code. 0001, 0002, etc. Then when we got tired we would just stop at say 0432, write it down, and start again whenever we felt like it. I know this is a random story, but for some reason your post made me remember that.

I think the first book is fine for a 12 year old, and the movie should be as well. There is violence and death, but there's no sex, and the violence is not overly gory in the first book and shouldn't be in the movie (though it is certainly sad).

However, the books get more violent as they go culminating in some fairly disturbing scenes in the third book as mentioned above. So for now, if you are worried about it, I'd just let her read the first and see the movie, and make her wait to continue on with the story. Even if you let her read them all, I'm sure she won't be overly scarred. As the poster above pointed out, most of us watched worse at that age (i.e. for me it was horror flicks like Friday the 13th, Halloween, etc.).

None of them scarred me...well except the original Poltergeist, damn that one got to me in a bad way! Still hate clowns and tree branches outside my windows! I guess the supernatural freaked me out more than just straight violence.

Very awkward. First movie I ever witnessed this in was Independence Day

I shit you not, 2/3 of the crowd gave the movie a standing ovation. It's as if they expected to walk outside and see downed aliens/ships all over the ground. WE WON! WE DEFEATED THE ALIENS!
