So you're saying the fact that this film had widespread advertising means said advertising was misleading? Nonsense. Consider this...
Most R-rated films don't get red-band trailers. This one got not one, not two, but three. Its advertising was in no way misleading. People made the same comments about Watchmen, complaining that they couldn't take their kids to see them (though in America, it's rather scary because they can and some did).
My advice, not just to you but to everyone: stop associating superheroes with kids. You can if you like associate superheroes with comics, but know that (with the exception of titles like the Beano, the Dandy, etc) mainstream comics have not been suitable for children for the last 25 years. Comics from the 60s may be safe for PG-13/12A adaptations (which, most people don't realise, is a direct replacement for the old 12 rating - most parents regard it the same as PGs), but to have thought that an adaptation of a comic from the last couple of years (let alone this one!) would be kid-friendly is seriously f**ked up.

Sit in the back row, and bring a booster cushion with you, that should work

Thanks SimonV. Although, I feel like a bag lady already with my handbag, bag for my lunch box etc, maybe I carry a blow up one! hehe

I didn't even realise you were coming to London else I would have definitely come by and say hi!
Yes, that's why I was talking yesterday about which screen it would be in. I went to the matinee of "Legally Blonde" first, so it was a good day all round.
a_person I thought I saw you walk past me on the way down to the cinema, but by the time I remembered your name you were long gone :(

He he, there was certainly a lot of waving going on!

Btw, a tip for going to the loo after the film at the Haymarket - if you don't want to be stuck in a queue a mile long, go to the downstairs ones - not only are there more cubicles, but there is hardly anyone in there!
I had to go to the loo half way through as I didn't have toime to go before it started, and I didn't even realise there was a toilet right outside! I trekked all the way down to the dungeon to go :oops:

I was thinking about SimonV's suggestion in the movie wondering "why did I not bring a pillow."
LOL that would be funny bringing a pillow, especially as I'm going to start bringing a blanket cos I get so cold with air con, especially on the legs
