No, it wasn't. I brought my four year old because the first one is her favorite movie. They went a little farther than the first but it didn't bother me. If I hear my daughter using any of the language they used I will talk with her about it because that's what parents do. I was watching r rated movies way to early but strongly believe that if you don't shroud them from the world around them and talk openly with them about it then it won't be taboo.

I'm not saying I'm going to watch Goodfellas with her or anything but fun movies that use them sparingly shouldn't be an issue among parents. Unless the parents themselves are afraid/embarassed to talk with their children about what is and is not allowed.

i'm in this camp. i mean i'm not bitching about it, just (hopefully) humorously commenting on where they pushed it. it probably wouldn't have registered at all if it were my wife or a friend and i.

i really do try to let me kids experience the world and i'm not going to melt about them hearing a few words. they will live. The problem with a lot of the comic book movies is the huge difference between a pg-13 of a Captain America/Ant-Man movie and a pg-13 GotG or Iron Man movie. both meet the no full nudity, gore, or 2 f bomb minimums, but they're similar content that take a different approach to reach that rating.

so all that to say was, it's fine life will go on... it's PG-13 and i'm my own parent. if my kids start dropping the f word and talking about engorged nether regions, i failed, not anybody else.

i read family reviews and just feel that a few of them underplayed what to expect going in there.

now the under 10 year old kids i saw in Deadpool and Logan on the other hand...
