Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.

very fun movie

this movie is very fun what you want in your typical action flick lots of action. there is one mutant who looks like she's nude though. I watched it as a mature 10 yrs and I was mature if your 10 yrs is mature they should be able to handle it and not get too disturbed and not get nightmares from it.
