I thought I'd watch transformers with my 9-year old son yesterday. I couldn't imagine that to have any inappropriate content
The violence is pretty harmless. Mostly explosions and spectacular things.
There were other things however that struck me. Small things. For example:
1) at one point the lead actress said she has a thing for sexy guys. Our 9-year old reads the subtitles so he read it. I don't want him to read expressions like that.
2) The main character at one point studies the female lead actress lustfully and makes no secret of it.
3) The whole dialogue between the leading actors is shallow with no spiritual reference points. They do not represent redeemed humanity, and do no strive for what we ought to strive for.
Humans are impressionable. When others break the boundaries, we become encouraged to do it ourselves. I want to protect the kids as far as I can. At some point I won't be able to anymore.
Am I overreacting?
