I hate stupid kids in movies

[Mary]

I seriously hate them. If it's an action, horror, or thriller movie there should be no goddamn kids, or they should be killed off early on.

Especially horror, where all tension is lost and I only feel annoyance when the stupid kid screams or lets the killer into the house or reads from the forbidden cursed book and dooms everyone else.

I watched The Purge tonight (which is a pretty butt retarded movie in it's own right), but holy shit, *SPOILERED IN CASE YOU CAN'T GUESS WHAT I'M GONNA RANT ABOUT FROM THE SUBJECT OF THE THREAD* The stupid, idiot, retarded, mongoloid, downs syndrome, pea-brained, moronic, ignorant, dense, slow-witted, brain-dead kid opens the doors for a suspicious dude on a night when all crimes up to an including MURDER are legal for 12 hours. FUCK. And they're all like "Don't get angry, he didn't know what he was doing" and that just pisses me off even more.


Kids in general are terrible actors too, so they're bad in dramas too.

Some children can be decent actors. But I agree over all; kids in movies suck.

I thought Super 8 was amazing and its main cast was children.

Gotta love Super 8's CGI vomit added to a scene where a kid was just clearly screaming.

...

I mean, not that it's the kid's fault or anything.

[Mary]

An grown-up actor would would have the acting chops to be able to vomit on command when a movie called for it.

[Slimebeast]

TRUE.

(That or, hey, maybe it was a bad idea to add a puke scene retroactively.)

.......CGI puke?

I wouldn't make a blanket statement like that. After all, I have seen stranger things than decent child characters / actors.

I agree. I also think that kids in movies can be good in their own ways. Sometimes they are good for some movies, but not so good in other instances. That 2017 remake of 'it' was pretty good, and I'm a fan of KaKuRenBo, as you can probably tell from my profile picture. What about your opinions?

[First World]

There have been some good films with kids in.
Case 39- Jodel Ferland.
The Goonies-
Mama.
