ur kidding me right!?ok for 9!!?? NONONONO definitely not for little kids

First of all, the story: a fairly generic Batman plot where a bad guy falls into a pit of acid and turns into the Joker, a homicidal psycho with a taste for theatricality. The rest of the movie is slightly boring, and very disturbing sometimes, but sometimes enjoyable with some good acting or a spot of humor, although the action scenes aren't quite up to what you'd expect from a superhero movie. In terms of violence, there's no lack of it. Multiple people are shot, although we rarely see blood. The most graphic instance is when the Joker fires about 15 bullets into a man. We only see the first few hit him, but we later see blood on the newspaper that had been in front of him. The Joker stabs a man in the neck with a quill pen (bloodless), electrocutes a man to the point where he is a charred, blackened, bloody corpse, shoots acid at people, and uses gas that causes people to laugh to death, literally. Before he becomes the Joker, he is shot in the face (fairly bloody). There's a lot of punching, sometimes with blood, and a couple of people take long, fatal falls. There is a little sex (it is implied that Bruce and Vicky spend the night), along with some double entendres. There is some fairly course language (worst instances being s**t and g**d**n). There is some drinking. Overall, the bad parts of the movie pretty much cancel out the good parts, especially because of the disturbing violence.

I enjoy this movie. For people that don't like this or call it dull like Common Sense, just remember that there would be no Batman Begins or The Dark Knight if it wasn't for this movie.

an o.k. movie, i guess, but it has lots of swearing like s**t, d**k and bi*ch, which are used multiple times within the first few minutes. there's lots of violence. the joker kills many people, and in one funny scene, vandalizes a museum. s*x is implied with vicki and bruce, and in the first few minutes a prostitute tries to stop a married man. [SPOILER] at the end, the joker falls off a high building. at first you think he's alive because of his eerie laugh. but they find out it's just a recording. blood is shown, and it's not seen up close, but you can tell his head is crushed. it's very gross. oh, how could i forget the worst part?? in an old surgery building, in a very scary scene, bloody tools are shown in the dark room as an operator works on the joker's face. his face isn't shown yet, but he takes off his bandages, and, laughing like a maniac, leaves the building. it really scared me. kids may be frightened by the joker.s appearance.

love the movie awsome.

shocked csm rated this for 9 year olds

Different. Certainly Different. But still enjoyable and exciting to watch. It's a Tim Burton movie, which says already it's a bit gothic and frightning. Parents should be advised that Vicky Vale and Bruce Wayne (Batman) sleep together. Cursing and violence stroll around Gothem City in the film. The Joker is menichal, but not as scary as Heath Ledgers version. Which means Smaller kids can take a shot at this movie. The jokers victems often die of frightning pranks pulled by the Clown Prince of Crime. A scary deformed face of a girl the Joker calls: "his work of art" is shown. Jack Nicholsen plays a good villian

Great film, but some questionable content. There is some profanity that littler kids might not need to hear, such as "s--t" and "d--n." It was the first Batman film in over twenty years, and became a pop culture phenomenon. The summer the film was released was called the summer of Batman. Also there is some stylized action violence and killing. A bullet ricoches and hits the Joker's face. The Joker kills a man with a quill pen. The Joker might be a bit scary for younger kids, but most kids over ten could probably handle it.
