With all the Burger King promotions and tv commercials aimed at little kids I'll be really disappointed if it turns out to be inappropriate for him. BTW he has not seen the first movie. He want to see it on dvd. The only thing making me think twice about letting me see it is that whole opening scene. After that it all becomes comic book fantasy violence so I don't have an issue with any of that. He has seen all 6 of the Star Wars movies dozens of times - he LOVES them - and even though those have what could be called over-the-top violence, everything happens within a simple framework of good-vs-evil that I can explain to him when he asks why certain things are happening.

We own the DVD and it's a favorite for sure. However, after our experience with Transformers and its sequel, we are cautious about taking them to see Iron Man 2. We also own Transformers, and they've watched in many times as well. We don't go to theaters often, but as soon as Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen came out on DVD we purchased it. We decided we should "screen" it before letting the boys watch it, and we're glad we did. We don't worry much about violence - our kids know the difference in real life and make-believe - but I don't like a ton of harsh language. Revenge of the Fallen was full of language - not necessarily profanity but name-calling and suggestive phrases that kids WILL repeat! It also had alot more sexual innuendos than the first. I would love to take our boys to the theater to see Iron Man 2, but will wait until we either see it first or can get a review from a trusted source.

So the question is, would you feel comfortable bringing your 4 yr old to the first film?

Yeah, that would be a really bad idea. As for sitting through a movie, my 4 year old can do it, especially if there's a lot to look at. And it looks like there will be with the new Iron Man.

(well, at least thats how i was when the first spiderman movie came out), but i doubt it to be too violent, its not like youre taking them to see watchmen, or kick-ass......now that... that's a problem I dont think its such a bad idea to bring your kids, and im 14, but…just hear me out. i mean, kids loves superhero movies, and where there’s a superhero movie, theres bound to violence in it. just no escaping that. your concern as a parent, is understandable, but iron man 2 is most likely going to be pg-13, which is an average superhero movie rating, the kids just wanna see their favorite comic book hero beat the living snot out of their enemies on a big screen, in live action.
