I brought my son (who’s 6 ½ and Marvel-savvy, having previously seen Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man) and nothing frightened or disturbed him. If they’ve seen other ones, they should be OK here.
This is about on par with all the other Marvel movies in terms of whether it’s appropriate for your kids.

Explosions and extended sequences of hand-to-hand combat abound, as well as the disturbing sight of the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) being activated as a killing machine with specific, sequential code words. But the film also addresses that head-on in a smartly self-referential way. And like that previous film (and every other Marvel movie, for that matter), there’s a ton of violence and destruction.
Like 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Civil War comes from the brother directing team of Anthony and Joe Russo. Their superhero buddies take sides depending on whom they agree with philosophically, with some old friends from previous Marvel movies joining in the mix. This time, Captain America (Chris Evans) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) square off over how much autonomy the Avengers should have when so much collateral damage lies in the wake of their good deeds.

The summer movie season officially begins with the arrival of the latest blockbuster in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The CGI which renders Evans as the wimpy Rogers is impressive - though a pivotal train-attack sequence looks oddly videogame and leaves you wondering why no real rolling stock was harmed in the making of this movie.Rating: PG-13, for extended sequences of violence, action and mayhem. She's a nice fit for the film's period style, while the production design does a good line in retro-futuristic gadgetry, something director Johnson showed before in 1991's The Rocketeer. That's until he's finally forced into action, supported by Colonel Phillips (Tommy Lee Jones in trademark gruff mode), Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper channelling Howard Hughes as Iron Man's Dad) and the muted affections of Agent Peggy Carter (Atwell), who in a movie of high-calibre actors and masses of weaponry, still makes a standout bombshell. When plans for an entire beefcake battalion are shot down, the pumped-up Rogers is forced to become a propaganda poster boy, which neatly undercuts the rah-rah-factor of the character and - in another sly touch- inspiration for a comic book, which makes him a reject all over again.
And, as played by Weaving, he is the second-best nose-less villain of the year after that Potter kid's nemesis, Lord Darth Vadermort or whatever his name is.Ĭaptain America, is of course, the story of the frail but thoroughly decent Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), who, after being refused enlistment in the US Army, gets his wish care of scientist Dr Abraham Erskine (Tucci) and an experimental serum. His evil plans involve his "Hydra" division, whose stormtroopers look like the nightshift on the Death Star. What he could do with that power could win him the war, if only if that wimp Hitler would let him get on with it. ") to Raiders of the Lost Ark from Johann Schmidt (Weaving), the villain also known as Red Skull, as he uncovers his own casket containing an ancient mystical power. There's a direct reference ("And the Fuhrer is looking for trinkets in the desert. Not only does it takes place - apart from a contemporary prologue and epilogue - in the 1942-1945 period, it also borrows heavily from Indiana Jones and Star Wars and many a war movie where plucky Allied commandos are shooting their way into Nazi bunkers. Like First Class, this also reminds that though there have been superhero blockbusters since Christopher Reeve first fought for truth, justice and the American way in '78, the costumed crusaders of the comics hark back to the first half of the 20th century. Like the last of those, Captain America goes back to the future in grand style in an origin story that has plenty of fun as it rubs up against both war and comic book history, even if does run out of steam, oddly enough, when the action takes over. And he follows the tedious Green Lantern and the terrific X-Men: First Class.
He's been preceded, in entertaining fashion, by fellow buff Marvel-ite Thor - who he's joining in next year's Avengers movie with Iron Man. He's the final of the year's superhero movies. Just like the US in World War II, Captain America is the last to get in on the act, but still does more than enough to end the season with a bang. Captain America's beefcake is the least impressive part of the film.
