Do you want to take your children to see Guardians of the Galaxy at the cinema but you don’t know from what age it is recommended? We tell you everything in this article.
Recommended from 10 years old (even 12 years old, for the most sensitive)
Once upon a time :
Our favorite band of misfits has changed a bit. Peter Quill, still mourning the loss of Gamora, must rally his team to defend the universe and protect one of his own. If unsuccessful, this mission could well mark the end of Guardians as we know them.
What they will love:
If your kids are Marvel fans, then there’s no question: Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is a movie they won’t want to miss. It must be said that the Maison des Idées has clearly targeted families with this colorful and musical franchise. With its resolutely 80’s and 90’s sounds, parents will find what they are looking for.
They also bet on the adorable Groot and his monosyllabic replicas to attract, as well as the character of Rocket Racoon (who is only cute when he does not open his mouth, we concede). This third part keeps the same recipe – even if Groot has grown again – by adding the emotional touch.
Obviously, expect a good dose of action. Like the other parts, this one has been stamped PG-13 in the United States (not recommended for children under 13 and subject to parental consent).
But James Gunn still allowed himself a small digression in his scenario with the use of a forbidden word, coming to end a taboo at Marvel (at the moment, we don’t know if this fuck will be translated into “f*t*n” in the VF).
What may worry them:
This third installment looks back at how Rocket Racoon was created. The film tackles the subject of animal abuse and how animals are used to advance science.
The role of the mad scientist is transposed to the screen through the character of the Master of Evolution (Chukwudi Iwuji), a man who has only one obsession in mind: to create the perfect society, by experimenting again and again.
Even though it’s a sci-fi movie that takes place in the universe, it’s a subject that speaks to us. The film is an opportunity for parents to address the issue of animal welfare with their children and the importance of taking care of what surrounds us. Just like the Guardians of the Galaxy do in the movie.
Attention, the feature film contains some rather disturbing scenes. Because Rocket Racoon is not the only creation of the Master of the universe. We also meet a disfigured rabbit whose legs have been cut off, an amputated walrus put on wheels and an otter who no longer has arms.
Their appearance might just scare off younger viewers, especially those who love animals. The latter are abused, beaten, killed and even incinerated shamelessly. The last sequence of the film also shows children put in a cage and who owe their salvation only to the Guardians of the Galaxy…
This third part is therefore quite violent in certain aspects and is therefore aimed at informed parents.
