Will Kids Like It? Yes

• I interviewed kids ages 9-11 who all loved the movie. They liked Spider-Man and Hulk the best. Some kids said they were sad with the ending, but overall liked it a lot!!!

Overall this is an intense action packed film. Parents need to be aware of the excessive violence, mature subject of death, and profane language throughout the film.

It's only fair to share...
