   when they are 12a I suppose……..
   I dont know why parents think taking a child under 7 to the cinema is a good idea, to see any film. They never sit still and apart from annoying others its a waste of money

   The whole point of the “A” is that it’s advisory - children mature at different rates, and it’s your responsibility as a parent to decide when your child is mature enough to view the film. What might be suitable for one seven-year-old might not be suitable for someone else’s nine-year-old.
   As for the three year old - this could happen at a PG or U film too. It’s possible they didn’t think the movie was suitable, but couldn’t find a babysitter or something like that. If you’re bothered by this, go to the cinema at a time when there aren’t likely to be young children there, or restrict your viewing to 15 and 18 rated films.

   I know what you mean. They shouldn’t take their children to see a film like that. I think that it is acceptable for children say 10+ to see a 12A movie (with parent supervision). It really depends on the film.
   Some like Batman, you shouldn’t be 3 years pld to see it. I guess the company who made Batman just want a bigger amount of money and thats why 3 year olds are allowed in. I think that that child really disrupted the screening and the parents should have payed for a babysitter.

   Three is too young, especially for a film like that. I didn’t take my youngest to the cinema till a few months ago (he’s 4) and that was a kids film. He fell asleep about ten minutes into it! He loves Batman but I wouldn’t dream of taking him to see this one, it looks way too dark fo his age.

   My guess is that they didn’t plan on taking the child, maybe a babysitter backed out on them at the last minute. However, there is no excuse for them not distracting the child when he got restless.

   I don’t think the child would have been allowed in here @ 3yrs of age, but no, I wouldn’t, your right they would get bored!!

   I would have thought a minimum age of 8 would be ok to take them into see this film.

   I think it all depends on what the film is and how mature the child is

   I think it depends on how mature a child is but taking an infant that young is plain rude to the other customers!
