Is DH BU to let DD1 (12) watch Deadpool?

[HeartsTrumpDiamonds]

We are arguing.

It's an 18. Graphic violence and nudity and a fuckton of swearing.

DD1 of course is claiming that Eeeeevverrryyyyooonnnnne has seen it.

Has anyone seen it? Is it really that bad? I wouldn't mind watching it myself but I don't think we should let her.

[redhat]

OMG no way is it suitable for a 12yo. Honestly you will regret it.

[OnionKnight]

No fucking way is it suitable.

[dimots]

It's a 15 I think isn't it? The sex is quite graphic though, including a scene where he gets fucked from behind by his girlfriend using a strap on...

[Anonymouses]

I wouldn't let mine. It's so graphic in places that I had to turn away. Swearing is very frequent f words. There are a couple of sex scenes and some very crude sexual jokes. Watch it yourself first. It's brilliant but definitely NOT a kids film.

[Jbck]

It's a 15 I think and there is a very recent thread on this. i will try and find.

[WannaBe]

Afaik it's a fifteen not eighteen, but no. I haven't let DS (13) watch it either.

[redhat]

At leat watch it first. It is 18 in most countries, I'm really not sure why its a 15 in the UK. I wouldn't let my 15 yo watch it.

[HelloWadeKinsella]

No no no - definitely not suitable! I'm 27 and I felt like even I was too young for it. 😂

[BabyGanoush]

Is he trying to be a cool dad?

My 13 yr old DS has not seen it.

Let kids be kids for a bit

[NatashaRomanov]

Nope. Just nope. It is a great film. But not suitable for anyone under 15. TBH, i'm not sure why it didn't get an 18 rating. Sex. Graphic violence. Rather crude language.

[Coffeethrowtrampbitch]

No,no! Ds is 9 and loves superhero movies. I am a walkover of a parent, but it was a minute and a half into Deadpool when I decided he wasn't seeing it until he was 18.

Unless you want to explain a slightly ambiguous scene to you dd as 'she was shagging him with a strap on' turn it off NOW!

[iklboo]

It's a 15. How, I have no clue. Maybe because it didn't drop the c-bomd. That's probably the only swear word not in it.

[UmbongoUnchained]

It's a 15. Give it a watch and see how you feel. I imagine most of her friends probably have seen it.

[Sierra259]

No way should a 12yo be watching it! I was also surprised it didn't get rated 18.

[HeartsTrumpDiamonds]

Umbongo that's what she says.

She also says she will "just watch it on her own" when we are not around, we are out tomorrow night and on a transatlantic plane next week.........

[fanniboz]

No way OP. Even with an adult with them, it's nowhere near suitable for a 12 y/o

[dimots]

Must admit I was surprised it wasn't an 18, although the violence tends to be cartoony type like most Marvel films, rather than brutal such as the initial scenes in 'Saving Private Ryan'

[redhat]

If you'd let her watch game of thrones without any concern then go for it (but anyone who lets their 12 yo watch GOT needs their head examined)

[HeartsTrumpDiamonds]

Pretty sure our Sky+ parental controls would stop the first one of those happening though.

[HeartsTrumpDiamonds]

The only one chez Hearts who watches GOT is Mr Hearts.

[TheHobbitMum]

No! It should be an 18 really! My 14 amd almost 15yr olds are not watching.... Ever LOL

[peachpudding]

I watched it with my 13yo he is quite intelligent and isn't fazed by sexuality/nudity. He has quite a good understanding of the different between TV violence and movie fantasy violence.

So I guess its down to individual children, but most of his classmates at school have watched it. They see a lot worse on the play station..

I know a lot of mothers are very precious of their DC but this is what children watch now, no biggy.

[PaulDacreCuntyMcCuntFace]

No - it's very graphic, violent and the language is pretty full on. Not my usual kind of film but I ended up enjoying it as it was quite funny and Ryan Reynolds is quite good in it.

Definitely not suitable for a 12 y/o though.
