mental scars!? bull, granted im not promoting violence to children, but if the worst thing a kid has ever seen is some computer animated gore than hes gunna be just fine. and where is the personal responsibility here? anyone who has read the book knows its gory. so my advice to you parents who complain that things are too violent for their children is, do some research before you let your kids see something. just cause the mpaa is a bunch of windbags and dont know haw to rate a thing doesnt mean you should blame then for allowing your kids to see something you disapprove of. (btw the mpaa is not a government agency its independently owned and operated)
