Would YOU have gone back for the baby?

Of course. He had just lost his wife, his mother in law, and his father in law, so his daughter was all he had. And if he were to leave without his daughter, that would just be letting the villains win. You're probably not a parent, so imagine that it was your little baby brother or sister (assuming you have one). Would you want to go back for them?

No one knows what they would do in a case like this, till it happensI know the noble thing to do would be to go after the Baby, but who's to say.Its easy to sit here in safety, and type how brave you would be, BUT.Not saying I wouldn't, Not saying I would

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't their cars still messed up at that time? If so, it seems like even if they didn't go after the baby, they'd still be sitting ducks while the mutants picked them off. Even putting the baby aspect aside, I think Doug's idea did have some merit. I doubt any of the mutants would expect someone to come after them.
When you add in the part about the grieving father and the need to rescue the only remaining member of his personal family, it seems like what he did made sense.

I believe any parent would go back to look for the baby. Whether they will be able to rescue, let alone find the baby is whole another story. The same question was raised in Liam Neeson's Taken. In both cases, it was obvious they were abducted to be abused not just killed. The parents sensed that and believed they can be found with immediate action. I am sure you would do the same. I am little surprised by your grandfathers's view on this.
I just watched this movie yesterday. Doug and Beast rescuing the baby sequence was heroic. It is not over the top. -

Not everyone has to be in a situation to know what they would do. I'm not a mother (and I'm 38 yrs old & have always wanted kids), but I know if I were, I would never leave my baby behind, no matter what. And for that matter, if it were my niece or nephew (who are 9 & 12 yrs. old), I would go back for them. No question about it.

No, there could have been any number of mutants out there, and they bested the whole family in minutes and they had walkie talkies and were talking beep like "gone to finish them off", and after seeing the beep crater full of cars, beep going after that baby no way we out

They'd stand a better chance getting that baby back by walking to civilization and finding police, it only worked for him because they randomly locked him in a chest filled with body parts and assumed he wouldn't break out and kill them all

I loved the character who did that (his name escapes me this moment). His heroism partly made that movie for me.
I've ordered a copy on Blu-Ray. Can't wait to watch this again.

Yes, I would go after my own baby. I would even go as far to say I would go back for any child, although in that case, I'd truly have to be in that situation to know.
