It is a blood soaked action, thriller. It does have a very graphic sex scene showing boobs,and sexual noises.It is also a bit confusing, so your child may have to be mature enough.

Great sci-fi movie, James Cameron has done it again. Not sure about the sex scene though, that could have been cut down. Quite a bit for swearing goes on, but what can you expect in a movie like this?

I agree with Common Sense.
Everybody loves robots, from Robby, to R2-D2, to this. This is an extremely violent classic, but it's okay for teens and up. It's not just the violence that makes this a no-go for little kids - it's the sex. The movie has 2 sex scenes in it, but overall, it's a great movie, and I really enjoyed it.

great action flick
Great actionn movie but the language was pretty strong. Like its pretty much F BOMBS. And 1 sex scene that show a quick flash of breasts but we all have to see them some times in our lives. But this hopefully dosnt stop ur teens from seeing this truely good classic.

WOW!
Honestly, I haven't seen the whole thing - I just read several varieties of the plot line and seen some scenes from movie reviews. But the violence - WHAT DO YOU WANNA FIND: CAREBEARS?!?!?!?! Although it was pretty gruesome (a punk's heart gets ripped out by the T-850) Language: Typical 7th grade language (c--t is common at my school O.o) Sexy stuff: The sex scene was unnecessary in my opinion. It is, however adult, an instant classic. It's like if the Empire from Star Wars sent someone back in time to kill Padme and the Rebels sent someone back to protect her.

The Terminator
Awesome movie! A Sci-Fi classic! This film is pretty violent, has quite a bit of language, and a brief sex scene. But most teens should be able to handle it.

For tweens
I thought this movie was as good as die hard. There was nudity though. There was topless female nudity for about 10 seconds,you see Arnold Shwarzenegger's butt too. They said the f-word 12 times. It was very violent. There was a bunch of explosions,tanks,bombs,guns,beatings,and you see skulls on the ground in the future. Overall I would say for 12+

Great movie but very violent.
This is definitely on of the vest movies in the terminator series . I am a big fan of all of these movies . But parents should know that there is there is a lot of violence and bad language . See it before you see Salvation this one is much better.

I saw it edited too
This is a good movie! but note, i saw an edited t.v version, it still had issues though... 1.LOTS of violince, many people are shot with bloody wonds, and the terminator himself (with or without his skin on) may scare the younger audiances, The terminator is shot, lit on fire and blown up (but none of it works). 2. mild languge of the D--n variety 3. the sex scene is skiped altogeter, and people are naked when they arive from the future. So this is a clasic actin movie that teens can watch if it's edited on t.v!

Pretty good
Content: Sex: Two scenes of sex, so BEWARE Violence: OOdles of shooting, bullet wounds, and a man gouges a bullet out of his arm. He also cuts out his eye (not really shown). Language: About twenty to twenty-five profanities Overall, pretty good movie with absolutely amazing concept of time travel at the end.

Terminator In Black & White Terms
THE CONTENT: I wouldn't say you should see it unless your 14, but otherwise I don't see why not. It has a sex scene, but besides that the violence and language is tame by today's standards. THE MOVIE'S APPEAL: If you don't like this movie, you probably didn't like the Matrix or Alien (& Aliens)either. One of my friends thinks Matrix was weird and disturbing, so I wouldn't recommend Terminator to him. THE ACTUAL MOVIE: It's a classic. The action and effects are amazing. Kudos to James Cameron for his awesome screenplay and direction.

Watch before the second one it will explane so much
lots of killing less languge than the second one. but more vilonce than the second one. I watched it at my cousons house we just fast forwarded over the sex scene. I say ok to 14+ if you just fast forwared over the sex scene.

I saw it edited
I may have seen it edited, but that doesn't mean It's smooth. I mean you can kinda tell what happens when Sarah and Reese start kissing, then it goes choppy, and whene they say " you!" it kinda gives u a hint. I did see all the violence though, very heavy, noone under 11. For sensitive minds, 18 and up.

The best movie ever
An awsome movie you need to see, but if yor kid s like 4 wait untill he gets older, the violence is to trong for young children and most o the movie he/she will probly be bored, but an awsome movie!

Good!
The Terminator is an intense sci-fi classic with an interesting, smart story and suspenseful action. As far as content goes, this movie is definitely not for kids. There is plenty of sexual content, some nudity, language (including the f-word) and loads of intense violence. I shouldn't have even seen it! Good for kids 15+
