That's fine because the kids who grew up on this show (ie - the target audience) are now adults.

Yeah, I understand that, and the wife and I are really going to enjoy it, probably more her than me. But it was originally targetted at kids and I know my kid likes the Transformers...even if you can only find them in antique stores.

Speak for yourself, Grandpa.

What? You're going to have to speak up. I can't hear you...

That's ok; so long as no one says a naughty word and there's no sex (implied or otherwise) the movie can be as violent as it wants... it'll still be PG-13.

SWEET trailer. I'm definitely more excited now than I was before.

I think they're allowed to drop a lone F-Bomb, but that might just be for non-violent flicks...

I think you're right about the one F-bomb. I took the kid to see King Kong and he was pretty wide-eyed ( 8-o

) at the Island scene with the crazy natives. He looked over at me and said "I shouldn't be watching this!", but watched anyway. He was alright. I let him watch the trailer and he thought it was awesome. We'll probably check it out first, just to be safe, but he'll probably see it...then own it.

Remember the implied scene in the Hulk where the father kills the mother? I don't know if he'd understand what happened, but if we/when we watch it, I fast forward through that part.
