To all parents out there: when you’ll go watch Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, PLEASE DO NOT BRING YOUR LITTLE KIDS ALONG
Okay, I need to say this. When I went to the theatre yesterday, a good half of the audience was composed by children. Most of them looked like they were somewhere between four and six years old, and they were all happy because they were going to watch dinosaurs on the big screen. But I want you to know that THIS IS NOT A MOVIE SUITED FOR LITTLE CHILDREN.
Especially during the second half, there was a particularly strong scene involving the little girl and one of the dinosaurs. It was nothing graphic (as were a lot of other scenes oh my god no baby deserves to see those things), but it had a lot of suspence and was honestly creepy. Now, I’m a grown up gal, I can go to sleep peacefully after watching something like this. But the kid two rows ahead of me, the poor baby who started sobbing uncontrollably and kept repeating that he was afraid? I don’t fucking think so, and it pisses me off.
I don’t want to walk into a room just to find children screaming in terror because their parents didn’t gather enough information on the movie they were about to watch, and that’s exactly what happened yesterday. NO KID DESERVES TO BE SCARED SHITLESS LIKE THE ONES I SAW YESTERDAY.
So please, parents, if you want to watch Fallen Kingdom because your little ones asked you to, please tell them no. If you want to watch Fallen Kingdom because you’re a fan, please hire a babysitter for two hours. And please, pass it on.
