I don't feel an 8 yr old, or even 10 yr old can rationalize or understand the 'for the point of the story' /fictional rationale.
The sexuality is clear.
I'm a fan of the series, have read them all, have only seen the first film though, but will not be allowing my kids to see them or read them. My oldest is 9.

This is why I have not let DD see it. Not because of violence or specific scenes but overly mature themes. I would her rather see a T-Rex disembowel someone.
