Did she mean more violent than what we see today or more violent than the other Jurassic Park films in a franchise that began 22 years ago? Both, she said. Fair question. When Jaws came out in and received a PG rating, there was a large hue and cry over the film. Many parents felt it was awfully violent for a PG-rated movie.
So the folks who rate movies came up with an odd distinction to explain away their decision. They saw animal-to-human violence as less troublesome than human-to-human violence.

So, in , when I went to Los Angeles for Jurassic Parks premiere and to interview the stars and filmmakers, I decided to put forward a question to each one about the films level of violence, and whether it was appropriate for young ones.

My daughter age 11 knew that and she wanted to see it, and she enjoyed the ride but she came and slept with us that night anyway. Co-star Sam Neill: I have three kids. Ones too young to see any movie and I have two that are 9 and And theyre going to have the time of their lives. Producer Kathleen Kennedy: Six to 8 is a very questionable age range. But on the other hand Im not going to say that a 7- or 8-year-old shouldnt see this movie. I think its up to the parent. What is the danger of undisciplined power—not just physical power, but any power?
