Spider-Man: Homecoming

Movie · 2017

A fun, teen-spirited Marvel adventure following 15-year-old Peter Parker balancing high school and superhero life, rated PG-13 for sci-fi action violence, some language, and brief suggestive humor. The tone is lighter and more comedic than many Marvel entries, but several sequences carry real intensity and the language is noticeably stronger than a PG film.

Best enjoyed by kids 10 and up who are comfortable with superhero action and some mild adult humor; sensitive kids may do better waiting until 12 or 13.
