I really like the CGI and slapstick comedy in this. I think it is because of the blend of practical and CGI combined from the tiny and full size perspective. The scene of them fighting on the Brio Thomas the Tank Engine train set, which honestly the fact that I pulled that name from memory is cool
Movies
The acting is all over the place. Neither good nor bad throughout. Just there. I am struggling to find a series of thoughts that makes this worth the watch. I just feel that it just spins up what could be so good, but does the bare minimum to pull a story together.

As that is one of my favorite books, this movie was such a risk and I had such a high standard. This hit it and blew past it. The changes to the movie are honestly so minimal that you don't miss anything of value. There is one joke from the book that was taken out that was my favorite
Action
Not a lot of language, which is funny speaking that this is the movie where cap acts like my dad and says "Language" which is the best joke in the movie. No sex. Violence is against robots which some exceptions at the end.

Mom has a conditional approval of having watched the first two. While I think she wouldn't object, I think what would make her approve requires her to know Tony's growth. So that means she would have to watch Iron Man and Iron Man 2, maybe even The Avengers. That is a hard ask.

So lets start off by saying that this movie isn't deep. It's not going to win awards. It isn't John Wick. Honestly, it falls more into the Evil Dead and Army of Darkness type movie. Which means that there are some good scenes, but not a lot going on with it which is okay.

The idea of it being "Rage" for sure allowed them to be very graphic in their death, but it's the random movements that get to you the most. For instance when Cillian Murphy goes inside the church and the priest comes after him and the piles of bodies just pops up one at a time… that just gets you.
Movies
We also get the first and maybe the best "Hulk... Smash." Speaking of the Hulk, the scene of him running towards Natasha has been in my brain since it showed up in the trailers. Also, him beating up Thor and Loki is solid as well.
Movies
The action in this is still so cool. Whiplash walking onto the track and whipping these cars in half and just the destruction. I also love the final battle with the drones. It is really well done.
Movies
When this movie first came out, I thought it was good, but not needed. Today, 9 years later, I feel the same way. However, the movie has aged very well, and I think it is better than the 6 or 7 that I would have given it years ago.
TV
I tried. I tried to watch this show and I just couldn't finish it. I have been watching this for a couple of years and the only way I kept moving forward was because I didn't want to watch the same show in a press as the TV was running in the background.
Movies
No sex, no language, limited graphic violence. Ok there are a couple scenes of someone sticking a hand inside Tony's chest so that is a bit outside my mom's preferences. My dad really enjoys this movie and Mom isn't completely apposed to it, so I am going to say approved by both.
