Why We Rated This on for Ages 10 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Many of the songs feature introspective lyrics with themes of character-building and trying to do the right thing.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    "Red River" features graphic lyrics like "They left the dead behind/I woke up in the trenches/Buried up in the mud/And now I'm gone." There are also some fighting-inspired lyrics on the Flaming Lips track such as "The first round goes/we go to blows" and "His punches land I can hardly stand."

  • Sex:

    "Pleased to Meet You" features some sexually-suggestive lyrics like "She's a crack girl. She's gonna put you on her mound."

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    The standard CD package includes a Spider-Man trading card. Special editions feature an embossed hardcover book with movie stills, movie cards, and a bonus track from The Flaming Lips.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Spider-Man 3 Soundtrack

Parents need to know that this Spidey soundtrack is a mix of both moody and spirited tracks from a lineup of kids' favorite indie rockers -- including The Flaming Lips, Snow Patrol, and The Killers. There's nothing overly violent or sexual here, but one track does have some sexual connotations ("She's gonna put you on her mound"), which will probably go right over the heads of younger kids. Note: The soundtrack contains music "from and inspired by," suggesting that not all of the tracks on the album are in the movie itself.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about how the tracks on this soundtrack are different than the first two Spider-Man soundtracks. Families can also discuss how the chosen tracks convey the movie's central themes -- the conflict between good and evil -- and the challenges Peter Parker faces as he battles with his black goo-induced character changes.
