I mean, these films usually get rated 15 or 18 in the UK, so I’d not say it’s “OK for children to watch.”

I think that's the classic US/UK culture split though.

US is strict on language and nudity, but comparatively lax on violence (except blood).

UK is lax on nudity and language (comparatively), but very strict on violence.

UK being the country that considered the word "ninja" too violent for children, for example.
