Wonder Woman: parents' guide

12+our pick

Best for ages 12 and up. Rated PG-13 for sequences of violence and action, and some suggestive content.

A rousing World War I superhero adventure with a brave, kind heroine, a good fit for most kids 12 and up. Battle violence is constant and the body count high, though bloodless: soldiers are shot, stabbed and blown up, and poison gas kills a village of civilians. Several sympathetic characters die, one in a self-sacrifice. Romance gets more room than usual, with frank, funny talk about men and reproduction, a man nude but covered by his hands, and a night the couple appears to spend together behind a closed door. Language is mild.

What's in it

Violence

Moderate

Frequent battles with guns, swords, arrows, shields and explosions, mostly bloodless. Poison gas leaves civilians dead in the streets, a chemist tests her gas on a man, a cornered spy kills himself with a cyanide pill, and several sympathetic characters die.

Language

Mild

Mild: Plugged In counted five uses of "hell," one "bugger" and one "bloody," plus "damn" and a few uses of God's name. Otherwise insults like "stupid" and "coward."

Sex and nudity

Moderate

Steve appears nude after a bath, covering himself with his hands, and Diana talks frankly about men and reproduction. After a dance they kiss behind a closed door, implying a night together. Diana's armor is revealing, and a man jokes about being aroused.

Drinking, drugs and smoking

Moderate

Adults drink beer and champagne in a pub and at receptions. Charlie, a war-scarred sharpshooter, drinks to excess, and a drunk man starts a bar brawl. The villain repeatedly inhales a gas that gives him superhuman strength.

Scary or intense scenes

Moderate

Trench warfare, wounded soldiers missing limbs, and a gassed village are grim. Diana loses people close to her, one death near the end is a real tearjerker, and the fiery final fight with a god of war is intense.

Sensitive topics

  • Suicide

Worth talking about

Diana assumes that defeating one villain will end the war, then learns people choose cruelty on their own. Why do ordinary people sometimes do terrible things?
