Behaving in cinemas/children at post 6pm performances.

[MisterT373]

So I've decided to avoid the football and go and see Black Widow in the cinema thinking it will be nice and quiet.

3 other people in the cinema, a dad and 2 boys both under 8. Before the film every few seconds its 'Dad ......' but I figured that they will pipe down when the film starts.

Film starts and it carries on so I move but can still hear them so I've come out , complained to the manager who has moved me to another performance.

AIBU to think that if your children don't know how to behave in the cinema you shouldn't go when its a later showing ( I think 7pm start for a 2hr 15 min film is late). Plus its a 12A so its going to contain gruesome violence .

I'm currently sitting in my car waiting for the 8.30 performance.

Yes what I mean is back in the day, there wasn't a 12a or a 15a or whatever. It was clearly U, PG, 12, 15 and 18 or something like that. So a film rated 12 ( if that rating existed) meant nobody under the age of 12 could go in, and of. Much better in my opinion. All this A rating just let's shit parents take their bratty kids into the cinema and ruin it for everyone else. This is one of the reasons I hardly go to the cinema.

Back the day 12 films didn't exist at all. It jumped from PG to 15. Loads of PG films were actually quite scary for little kids, and had mild swears in. Some have since been reclassified as a 12A e.g. the original ghostbusters. I suspect films like Black Widow would have been been PG if it came out in the lid eighties.

Kids will talk, but it's up the parents to teach them to behave accordingly or take them to special kids showings.
