Avengers Infinity War for almost 10 year old?

[Anonymous]

It's the movie at a birthday party; common sense media does not seem in favor of it. Anyone seen it and if so, what do you think for this age?

thanks

FWIW, my 5th grader tells me lots of his classmates have seen it. I haven't taken him yet (he's 11) because it sounds so grim. But he's seen a lot of the others.

My teen joked that they did not include Dead Pool in the Infinity War movie so it could be PG-13.

I would say it is fine based on this...

Um, do you want to be spoiled? Because I can tell you why common sense media is being cautious, but only with MAJOR spoilers.
FWIW, I'd say yes go.

I'm fine with spoilers. Thanks.

We took our 8-hard old over the weekend. He was fine with it. We did have to emphasize that there would obviously be a sequel.

If your almost 10yewr old plays any video games at all or has seen the other Marvel movies, he’ll be fine. Our DS had seen Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor, the Spiderman, and Ironman movies.

My husband took our almost-10 yr old DD to it last weekend and she was fine with it. She's seen all of the other Marvel movies but I would say she's a pretty average 4th grader when it comes to movie violence, not overly brave or tolerant. I stayed home with our 8 yr old due to reviews.

The Vulture review is good for how it impacted the reviewers daughter who is a huge Marval fan.

There's a lot of death. It's not gory/splattery death. Some of the death is permanent and potentially upsetting.

I agree though that if your child has seen the other movies - especially the ones that came out in the past several years they should be ok.

That should be two separate sentances up above about the death.

Some of the death is permanent
Some of the death is potentially upsetting.

These are not necessarily the same characters dying.

FWIW, my 9 year old enjoyed it. Plenty of kids in his class have seen it

Has your son seen the other Marvel movies like Civil war or the other avengers movies? If he has and was ok with those, Infinity Wars should be ok too.

My 10 year old went with a few friends and another parent last weekend. He is fairly sensitive, prone to nightmares, and was absolutely fine with the movie. We spoke about it later and he would recommend it for kids his age (4th grade).

Took my almost 11 year old who has seen all the preceding movies and honestly it was tough. He was shaken and in a funk the rest of the day....not to spoil it but the unresolved ending was harder on him than I expected.

It depends. Is death a sensitive issue in your family. Half of the universe dies.
