The words crap, screwed up, screwed the pooch, and ballsy are used. Aunt May says what the F….but the scene changes and you don’t hear the word.

Stuff to be aware of:

Scary - Vulture has glowing eyes and huge wings which could be scary to younger viewers. Peter gets a building dropped on him and is trapped in the debris for a few minutes.

Sexual - Tony makes a joke about Aunt May wearing something slinky. A man makes a comment about a hot Italian woman. Peter changes into his costume and has to take off his pants and shirt. He is seen in his boxers.

Aunt may talks to Peter about his body going through changes and how his body is “flowering.” Flash Thompson yells “penis” Parker multiple times at a party. One girl is seen in a one piece bathing suit. A teenage girl mentions, “F Thor.”

One character says he is looking at porn, but he isn’t.

Violence - Normal Spider-man and MCU violence. One guy gets shot by one of Tinkerer’s guns and he turns to ash and falls apart. A man bashes another man’s head into a car several times.

A guy mentions he wants to slice Spider-man’s throat and put his head in a dryer.

Other - MJ flips Peter off for no reason.

Overall:

Seeing It With Your Family

Spider-man has always been a hero children love which is why we have so many cartoons that bear his name. It is disappointing to me that this movie has as much language as it does.

What I Thought

Making a John Hughes, 80s feeling high school movie fit Spider-man so well. The villains are used well and over all this was a fun and entertaining Spider-man movie.
