Parent reviews for The Rocketeer

It’s a great movie and my kids (9 and 13) love it. They’ve seen it twice. I watched it with them this time and vaguely remembered some brutal death scenes where I made the 9 year olds close their eyes. It has some bad words, a lot of violence and is really scary. I should have waited to show them this and absolutely think it should have a PG-13 rating.

My eight year old son was horrified at the violence. We watch a lot of g and pg films, I don’t expose my kids to a lot of violence, and I was pretty taken aback that a pg Disney film had so many murders. One in particular had a man “folded in half” and was lying there dead with his eyes open. This really scared my little guy. My other kids were ok with it, but they’re older and more emotionally mature. There was a good bit of swearing, and several instances of Gods name taken in vain. And there was a seduction scene in which nothing actually happened, but I was uncomfortable with it with my kids there. We did enjoy the film, but I think if I’d known it was this violent I would’ve passed.

They say (a beaver's home that starts with a D)as often as a teenager says "like".
