Common Sense Note

Parents need to that this take on Godzilla has relentless, near-constant sci-fi action/destruction on a massive scale. Although there isn't anything particularly gory, the smashing and crushing and pounding might be scary for younger kids, especially since some scenes feature children extremely frightened and afraid for their lives (a child also witnesses the destruction of his parents' workplace from afar). Early in the movie, a man watches his wife die as part of a terrible accident; her death impacts him significantly. Expect some mild swearing, a few kisses between a couple, and minor social drinking. Fans of the original film will be glad to know that the giant radioactive monster, when he does make an appearance, is still impressive after all these years (and better special effects).

Sexual Content

Couples kiss.

Violence

Destruction everywhere, though very little blood is shown. Entire cities are leveled, and creatures stomp on humans as if they're just toys. They yank subway cars of the tracks, pull boats from the water, and battle each other in huge clashes. The carnage is high. Kids and animals are shown in peril and scared, needing help (including a bus full of children on a bridge being destroyed by a monster). Bodies are shown strewn about after a catastrophe. Early in the movie, a husband sees his wife die behind a glass window when she gets trapped and something happens to her.

Language

Infrequent use of words like "bull," "hell," and "damn" and a few uses of "s--t."

Social Behavior

Man shouldn't interfere with the course of nature. There should be respect between the planet and the people living in it.

Consumerism

An LG phone is seen.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

People drink a casual glass of wine in one scene.
