      I love all of the xmen shows. I thought I would hate it, but now watch it over and over and over. Good for any age. Not scary, bloody, or anything. Shows excellent morals. I love it

      Not so bad...

      Reviews have been iffy but saw it last night with a bunch of 14-16 year olds and they loved it. I thought it was fine expecting a typical violent summer movie.Some gore and cursing but I've seen worse. I actually enjoyed it for what it is.Kids under 12 may be overwhelmed by violence but it is comic book style.

      I Thought It was A tad bit Violent

      Title says it all- I thought it was a bit violent. Maybe not this one as much, but the last two X-Men movies are very violent, and sort of desensitizing. There are also a few inappropriate words, uncommon ones.
