Spider-Man, for kids or adults?

[itsleroy]

I was watching Spider-Man 3 w/ Cast & Director commentary the other day, and I heard some of the cast say that they were worried about some of the scenes in the film, due to the fact that "so many kids were going to watch it". (Something along those lines..)

That had me a bit worried, do they honestly think that kids are their sole audience? Who are they trying to appeal to? I was watching the first Transformers the other day, which most people can argue is or should be directed towards kids, and most of characters were swearing and such. Well, a lot of young kids watched it.

I've never heard of a swear word in any of the Spider-Man movies. Not that it needs it.. It can at least be dark.

Not their sole audience but part of it too. If you get rid of kids, you lost money in the BO.. though no one really cares about rating. I still remember the whole bunch of annoying kids I've seen in TDK shows..

The audience is pretty much all ages. It's not kiddy but it's not really dark and super serious adult type either.

They also mentioned in the commentary about the people who watched the first while being kids are now in their late teens and how the forgiveness message was good for it.
