6 years old too young for Terminator 2?

BUDFORCE · Saturday at 19:04

6 and a half technically.

If I maybe don't let him watch the bits where the liquid metal terminator stabs the foster father/mental hospital secretary guard.

Acceptable, or too young still?

I watched Aliens when I was about 8, gave me nightmares for two weeks, but to fair terminator 2 is a lot more tame aside a few scenes.

Actually I reckon must have been younger for Aliens, maybe 7.

Bloody Mrs decided she's on her way home so won't have time now anyway.

I reckon I will let him watch it soon though, it's my favourite movie.

I possibly expected a different reaction but you guys are all spot on, all the absolute crap that kids are looking at on the internet these days.

I reckon it's a waste, really. Save it for when they're old enough to appreciate it

Yea you got a point there, 8 years old will absorb it a lot more.

something daft already!! said:
It's a 15 certificate for a reason.

I'd sooner let him watch that over Watership Down which is a U.

That movie will **** you up for life.

Yes, it’s far too young.

Reckon it's too young to take him to the rifle range?

Possibly, it all depends on how responsible the kid is.

Took him last weekend for the first time.

We had an under 16's open day, air rifles only mind you.

That was 10 shots from 25 meters, second out of three cards.

I've had one bloke bring his son that was 5.

He was helping me make 8mm mauser ammunition.

The scene where the T1000 stabs Jon Connor’s foster dad through the milk carton into the face. Can’t imagine a young child not finding that upsetting.

I don’t remember any scenes from end game at that level.

Yea no way I'd let him watch that bit, or the other similar but with the security guard in Pescadero.

Oh and Superman 2, where the woman gets dragged into the machine and turned into a robot.

yeha to be fair, when you are little that scene is a bit freaky.

A lot of judgmental comments here

You're not joking, I cant imagine what these people would do if they faced an actual problem, given how triggered they got over a, lets face it, silly forum topic really.

I guess some people need to get out more.

If I had a 6 year old kid named John Connor then I'd most definitely let him watch it so that he would be prepared for the future war as leader of the Resistance.

If he's not named John Connor, then no.

Fair.
