movies/tv Why do some people rate kid-friendly movies and shows an 18+ on Common Sense Media?

Only movies rated R, NC-17, and TV-MA deserve to be that way. Anything lower than any of those certificates don't.

Do you have an example?

Because I know a lot of people who think some movies are fine to show kids, but I would NEVER subject a child to those same movies.

EDIT: To be fair, it does depend on the child in question. But for example, the Jurassic Park series is rated PG-13 and tons of kids like it.

But my dad made ME watch one of the films as a kid, despite my protests, and it resulted in me having nightmares about velociraptors killing my family. For YEARS.

In fact, I’m now 27, and I saw a commercial for the new Jurassic Park film coming out. Guess who had nightmares that night about dinosaurs killing me and people I care about?

I would have to see the reviews in question to be sure, but I think these people can be divided into three groups:

1. People who think everything is harmful to children
2. People who accidentally list their own age instead of the intended rating
3. Trolls

I haven't visited that site more than a few times, but I can remember seeing the former two (especially the first one). And I'm sure there are some trolls too.

Probably this. XD
