Dark animated superhero yarn will entertain older viewers.
Parents need to know that this animated film is a bit darker than most superhero cartoons. The villain, Sinestro, uses violence to intimidate people, tortures suspects, and isn’t above murdering his allies if they no longer fit into his plans. This casual brutality and menace makes him seem a shade more evil and more intense than most bad guys as he plots to rule the universe. There’s some minor swearing and even a scene that seems to involve an alien drug, so the film is probably a bit too much for younger viewers.
