My kid will be three in September and it was a disaster this past weekend taking him to his first movie, Minions.  Once he saw the games out front before the movie that was all he could think about so he wouldn't hold still.  After 15 or 20 minutes of pissing the people behind us off (understandably) we called it quits and left.  I was hoping to take my son to SW too, but given how the first try turned out I think I'll pass on that ;).  Of course I think it has a lot to do with the child as my son won't hold still other than the first few minutes after waking up.  After that it's go, go, go  ;)

Maybe trying to explain what a movie theatre is and what's expected before going, let it sink in a few days.  Then asking if he could be a big boy able to sit quietly to watch with others.  Otherwise, he is staying home, and your going without him.  Parenting is a challenge, as nothing works the same way each time, its always changing.  You just need to keep trying to find something that works or you can live with.  GLWTS.  Lol

Some places have screenings during the day where you're meant to bring young kids. They don't blast the volume so much, and turn the lights down but not completely off so people can more easily take crying kids out to calm them down. They're usually called "Daddy & Me" or "Mommy & Me" screenings.

Thats a great idea, everyone has to start somewhere and what a good way to get kids into the movie experience, yes also comes down to the parenting to encourage the child to sit, behave ,but anything that helps that and gives them the experience has got to be good :D

Well you don't go to them if you don't have kids.

The main issue is that the parents who are thoughtful enough to go to those screenings aren't the ones causing problems in the first place. It's the dipshits who bring infants to a midnight showing of a loud movie on opening night.

Kids of all ages have been playing army or fighting type stuff for hundreds of years.  It's part of being a little boy really.  I had army men and a mattel star bird when i was that age.. I ran around my back yard pew pew pewing at everything right alongside all my friends.  We played star trek, pretend phasering each other..  a young imagination is a wonderful thing, let kids have it.. It's usually adults that put more serious thoughts in there than the kids have.  The kid just hears pew pew, not omg political message!
