I was thus wondering if anyone on the board had went with relatively young children and what their experience was.
For reference, they both love sci fi, robots/ spaceship movies and super heroes, and they are fairly mature for their age (we tried Pacific Rim a little while ago after much discussion, and they not only were not phased or scared by it, they loved it).
More specifically our fears come from the following scenes, which I will put in spoilers .. well.. just in case.
[Show spoiler]
Quill's mother seen dying of terminal stage of cancer
Ronan smashes someone's head with a hammer (off camera)
Collector's slave explodes herself with an Infinity Gem, but not before being seen "peeling away"
Groot impales and bashes a whole line of Alien soldiers
Drax rips an implant out of someone's head
Reaver commander impales a bunch of alien soldiers with a flying arrow
Groot dying... but not really 
All in all, I think the humor and Space Opera feel of the whole thing would make it ok, but was curious about possible experiences of forum users. |
My cousin took his daughter, she is 3, and she had a blast. She danced with the music and the only time she talked was
[Show spoiler]when she thought Rocket was dead.
She got a little upset, only vocal though, not crying. Everything else you mentioned she didn't react to any of it.
