Avengers Set |
I'll admit, The Avengers movie does hold a special place in our hearts. While filming the movie in our own city-made-to-look-like New York, we went to the movie set (my son has wanted to be a film director since the age of 3). The movie crew was so nice to him, they even gave him a piece of rubble as a souvenir (looks like any old rock, really). So, it would be cool to see all those scenes we saw filmed on the big screen (although the trailer itself does a great job).

So will your child be seeing The Avengers? How old?

I agree with you on Common Sense Media, we use it all the time - especially for movies.
I'll be dragging my children to The Avengers - I have a slightly all consuming, obsessive crush on Robert Downey, Jr.

Soooooo...... then what is your final decision after weighing all the facts??????
Good question, Michelle! I'm hoping my son doesn't ask again to see it until it's out of theaters. I'm erring on the side of not going to see it. There seems to be a lot of comments about excessive violence. People relate to Star Wars but I think there's a big difference between light saber battles and knives being thrown to kill into people's backs (beginning of movie). So, I hope I'm strong enough to not yield to peer pressure as many of my friends' kids have already seen it.
Thank you so much for this thoughtful post! We are so glad to see you and your friends finding our site helpful. Keep in touch!
