Soooooooo I took my 8 year old to see this because HE reads the comics( I've read them too) and he loved it! Not only did I take an 8 year old but there were other children there and no one gave them any are you serious? looks.
Just because a movie is rated R doesn't mean it's not appropriate for kids, it means that parents should be aware of the subject matter and decide for themselves. The idiots who do the ratings judge movies differently based on subject matter, the amount of red blood and a bunch of other factors that don't mean squat.
