slasher Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 What age is appropriate to let my twins watch this. They've been asking me about it. They recently watched lord of the rings and hobbit films which are pretty violent. Its been a while since I saw it myself. I can remember a pretty graphic scene in Rob Roy but I don't remember anything like that in Braveheart. Thoughts??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibelieve!!! Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Well there is a scene where a guy gets his head chopped off, (several in fact). All pretty gruesome for young kids to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auchinyell Sox Change Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Mind seeing Polanskis "Macbeth" in Capitol , Aberdeen ; 1st yr Secondary school Strange seeing Doyle of the professionals playing banquo; was a scene where a punter gets a crossbow shot in the head Some guy in the audience shouts out " one hundred and eighty !"

iainmac1 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Think I was 12 when I seen it. Too young to see it at the cinema but my dad rented it on video when it came out. No adverse affects on me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunchy Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Guess it depends on what your kids are like. I could watch violent films when I was in my early teens as I knew it wasn't real life and any blood was fake. But if your kids are still young mentally then I would wait a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stapes Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 My son's 12 now. Think he saw it about three or four years ago. It's really not that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolhibby Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I'm fairly liberal with films and my kids. I watched some crazy films when inward a kid. Films like Commando, Predator and Nightmare on Elm Street. Remember watching Commando when I was 5/6. I've turned out fine. You have to know your kids. Some kids just can't handle blood and gore, some can. Incidentally my 6 and 4 year olds have seen the battle scenes in Braveheart. They really weren't interested in the film but the battles they loved. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armchair Bob Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 My mate' son saw it at the age of seven and loves it. William Wallace is his hero. Much to my amusement, because his parents are English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Saw it in the cinema when I was 13'ish (but even at 13 I looked like I was 18, as I was about 2 foot taller than anyone else my age) with my dad. Watching it now, its not all that blood and guts compared to some of the stuff that has been produced in recent years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
