Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that Avengers: Age of Ultron is the highly anticipated sequel to 2012's epic adventure The Avengers. Fans will love the mix of over-the-top action and humor as Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), the Incredible Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Captain America (Chris Evans), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) reteam to defeat Ultron (James Spader), an intelligent robot determined to wipe out humanity. The biggest issue, of course, is the explosive, comic book-style violence, which includes nonstop destruction, fighting, weapons, flipping cars, imploding buildings, citywide devastation, and massive civilian casualties implied. There's also one sad death, as well as some kissing/flirting/innuendo/cleavage, swearing ("s--t," "son of a bitch," etc.), and celebratory drinking. But as always with the Avengers, the ultimate message is that teamwork and loyalty will always save the day.
Sexual
Content
Couples kiss; some flirting/banter. A few sexual innuendoes and form-fitting outfits/cleavage shots.
Violence
Constant explosive, destructive mayhem; it's cartoonish/over the top (i.e. not bloody/gory), but it's relentless. Characters get shot and die (one very sad death), cars go flying with people in them, skyscrapers are reduced to rubble, and more. Children are sometimes right in the line of fire, buildings implode, missiles fly, and innocent casualties are countless (though they're not lingered on). Lots of weapons (guns, hammers, shields, arrows, hands, bombs, and more) and fighting. Preventing civilian casualties is one of the Avengers' primary goals.
Language
"S--t" is the first word of the movie (though the character who says it is reprimanded for his language). Also "damn," "ass," "bastard," "hell," and "son-of-a-bitch."
Social
Behavior
Teamwork and loyalty matter: United you stand, divided you fall. Don't let your fears get the better of you.
Consumerism
Products/labels seen include Audi, John Deere, Beats headphones, and Adidas. And the film is tied in to the vast merchandising/licensing efforts surrounding Marvel Comics.
Drugs / Tobacco /
Alcohol
Some celebratory drinking.
