    Rollicking young superhero tale; lots of cartoon violence.

Why We Rated This on for Ages 9 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Fledgling superheroes work best when they work together; there's no incentive to teamwork quite as powerful as the threat of death and planetary destruction. Bravery and determination keep our heroes moving forward despite overwhelming odds. While there is only one female superhero, she is equally as powerful as the boys.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    As befits a story based on Marvel Comics' Avengers, the cartoon violence is nonstop and includes stomping, shooting, punching, and use of laser eyes and magic Asgardian swords.

  • Sex:

    Two characters flirt competitively with the lone girl superhero.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow

Parents need to know that this movie centers on the offspring of the original Marvel Avengers and their efforts to battle the villain who killed their parents and threatens the life of their guardian. As such there are themes of parental death and -- not surprisingly -- avenging their murders. The young superheroes battle a seemingly unstoppable Ultron, though the continuous sci-fi violence depicted is very much in keeping with comic book style.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about which of the young superheroes' powers they'd like to have, and why. For fans of James Fenimore Cooper -- what is the significance of Hawkeye's name, and why would that character have it? Would you have made the same decision as Torunn at the end of the movie?
