I have also been looking forward to possibly seeing the movie with my nearly 10 year old son.
The metal suits and and rockets with a good guy chasing after bad guys makes the violence quotient a-okay for me. I would not let my children watch the morally ambiguous and subversively dark and creepy “Pirates of the Caribbean”. No matter how much they bugged me or how many of the young friends had been allowed to watch it.
I guess the thing that I was most concerned about was the womanizing aspect.
Thanks to Stan Lee and Marvel, I actually recall having had an opportunity to see an awful lot of Pepper Potts when I was a kid. My recollection of having an Iron Man comic is that if my parents ever looked inside the cover that I would never see a comic book again.
What do you say about the “fleshy” sections of “Iron Man”. Am I going to end up doing a lot of ‘splainin’ to my kid if he sees it?? Should I definitely check out before hand?
As for politics ~ no matter. My kid already knows how much liberals suck.
LOL
