2. Grown-ups think that not all films are suitable for children, especially action films.
1) Who of the teenagers likes and who dislikes action films? (reading/listening for the main idea)
Action films? What a bore! Criminals, shooting, explosions. Nothing else. I agree that such films have the right to exist. They have some positive features. They are dynamic, dramatic and full of special effects. But they are unrealistic. Some people watch violence to cool off (успокаиваться) and such films are good for them. But other people can get sick and nervous especially teenagers. There are better ways to cool off, I think. But, I consider it is up to you to decide to watch the film or not. Besides, there is the MPAA rating system. As for me, I prefer to watch a PG-rated film better than going to the cinema with my parents to watch an R-rated film.

I do love action films. Why? They are very dynamic and really exciting. They grab your attention from the first scene. I like films with a mysterious plot. They keep me in suspense. Action films are so various that can suit different tastes. Some people think that action films teach only to fight and to kill. I don't agree with such opinions. They teach people to defend justice and to be strong and brave. I think it is not bad to want to look like the heroes of action films.

If you ask me, there's too much violence in films. Killing seems normal now. Action films are stuffed with fights of different types. They haven't even got any plot — only fighting, killing and rough language. I do hate such films. They are horrible and frightful. They make me want to scream. I think they teach violence and aggression. If you keep seeing shooting and fighting, you won't care if it happens in real life. Such films set a bad example. I don't like to watch R-rated films, even if my parents take me to the cinema.
