Would you let your 11 yo watch Top Gun?

There are 2 top guns - and yes, I would let him see both. I know we saw maverick in the theater and i think but not certain he saw the old one at some point at home.

You are kidding right?

Of course

Romantic scenes OP have that sex talk Jesus creaks are so stupid

I use common sense media and sometimes subtract a year, but not 3.

But I think most people rush their kids out of family shows too fast. The years when they like the innocent stuff go by so fast and there's no shortage of things to watch staying within general age guidelines.

I am the opposite - my mom was very strict about movies and I snuck and watched at friends houses anyway. I think I turned out ok - and I don't think being allowed to watch dirty dancing at home vs sneaking it at a friend's house would have tipped the needle on my upbringing.

Common Sense crazy minus a few years of what normal people do

I look at common sense and subtract 3 years.
I watched basically everything without supervision and turned out fine (ok I am on DCUM, so maybe not totally fine)

HAHA add that in for me too.

I took my 10 year old grandson to see Top Gun Maverick and he loved it except for the very tame kissing scenes. After that he saw the original and then many of the Mission Impossible movies. He’s now a big Tom Cruise fan.

The sequel pretty tame if you want to start with that (cuss words when flying, but more innocent kissing scenes).

Yes, just fast forward through the love scene. My son has been watching since 5 but all he cares about are the airplanes. Navy. Family. Your kid has been exposed to worse at school.

Maverick has barely a love scene.

The new one is totally appropriate for an 11 year old

Another one who was not allowed to watch anything mildly inappropriate, and had to wait until I was 13 to see PG-13. This started years of lying to my parents about which movie I was actually going to when I went with friends to a movie. And the stuff I saw at other people's house...wasn't filling them in on that, either.

There's a lot of space between porn/smut and Top Gun (1 or Maverick).

That’s too bad but not all kids resort to that. Luckily that can’t happen as much now because parents usually buy the tickets and reserve seats ahead of time. Plus kids these days aren’t just going to the movies as much as it’s so expensive. Most of the boys are really just getting together to play video games at someone’s house these days. Kids have less free time now with scheduled activities/homework on weekends.

+1 they have their whole adult lives to watch porn or other smut. Why rush it. We follow the common sense media guidelines and the movie ratings. Kids must be 13 to see PG-13 movies in our house.

I wouldn’t let my kid watch “porn or smut” but CSM will give a movie a higher age rating based on things like cursing or smoking, things I can easily talk to my kid about

Hell to the yes. OMG who are you? There's no explicit nudity just language and inference - it was a hot love scene but nothing about it was explicit which is what made it so hot! And honestly it's like about 95% flying.

DS (11 yo) loves anything airplanes and pilots related. He saw Top Gun trailer somewhere and has been asking for a year or two to see the movie.

If you would advise against, do you have any other good aviation oriented movies to recommend?

Of course I would. What are you afraid of?

Ridiculous answer. He’s 11 not 2. Watch the movie and relax people.

Silly. Is an 11 yo this sheltered? 13? Insane.
