not yetwith an adult, or to talk about afteralonethe sweet spot

The official US rating is R, and we never go below it. Alone from 17, and not before, even with an adult.

The sweet spot: around 17, when you know twenty years of superhero films and laugh at two immortals carving each other up in a car. Why a sweet spot?

Official US rating: R. In France, zinema would say 15.

rule
Two minutes forty of bloodTwo immortals stabbing each other with claws and swords for minutes in a car, a bus whose windows stream with blood, severed heads, dozens of Deadpool variants massacred: constant gore, played for laughs, without consequence since everyone heals.
A Wolverine who let his friends dieLogan tells, drunk, how he let the X-Men be killed and wanted to die; a villain who sucks people's skin off; a giant creature and growls.
Two hundred and five swear wordsThe series record, jokes about everything; no sex scene, innuendo.

What the movie brings

A film that mocks twenty years of superhero films, and its own studio.
Hugh Jackman as a failed Wolverine: the best character in the film.
The soundtrack, from Madonna to NSYNC, made for the parents.

Watching it together

Before

Nothing to warn about, it is cartoon gore; a fourteen-year-old who knows the first two will follow it with you, alone it takes fifteen.

After

at 17 and up

Logan ran away after failing and Wade drags him along to make amends: can you repair a fault by helping someone else?
