Spider-Man: Homecoming: parents' guide

11+our pick

Best for ages 11 and up. Rated PG-13 for sci-fi action violence, some language and brief suggestive comments.

A light, funny high school superhero story that's one of the easier Marvel picks for tweens. Peter faces plenty of peril, from a damaged elevator high in the Washington Monument to a ferry split in half and being pinned under rubble, but the violence is mostly bloodless, with one henchman vaporized. The language is saltier than the tone suggests: a few s-words, a cut-off f-word and a middle finger. Ned claims he was looking at porn to cover for Peter, girls play "F, marry, kill," a classmate mocks Peter, and a house party implies underage drinking. Good from about 11.

What's in it

Violence

Moderate

Mostly bloodless action with webbing, punches, explosions and crashes. Peter is dragged behind a van, dropped from heights and badly beaten, leaving a little blood on his face. A villain's weapon vaporizes one of his own men.

Language

Moderate

At least three s-words, bullshit, an unfinished "what the f," and stand-ins like frigging. Also ass, asshole, bastard, damn, hell and crap, about a dozen uses of "oh my God," and one middle-finger gesture.

Sex and nudity

Mild

Peter has a crush on a classmate; the only kisses are between adults. Ned claims he was watching porn to cover for Peter, teen girls play "F, marry, kill" about superheroes, partygoers chant "Penis Parker," and Peter is seen in boxers.

Drinking, drugs and smoking

Mild

Teens at a house party hold red cups, implying drinking, though no one is shown drunk. Aunt May has a beer at dinner, and Peter turns down a drink because he's underage.

Scary or intense scenes

Moderate

Extended peril: classmates trapped in a broken elevator high above Washington, a ferry tearing apart, and Peter buried under rubble crying for help. The villain menaces Peter in a tense car ride, and one henchman dies on screen.

Sensitive topics

  • Bullying

Worth talking about

Peter is so eager to prove himself that he ignores warnings and puts people at risk. What's the difference between being brave and being reckless?
