‘BLACK PANTHER’

PG-13

What it’s about: The king of Wakanda, T’Challa, is challenged for his throne and has to decide how his country will participate in alleviating global oppression.

The kid attractor factor: Marvel’s African superhero, who has popped up in a previous Avengers film, finally gets his stand-alone, and audiences finally get a superhero movie with a predominantly black cast. Action and humor will draw kids and teens.

Violence: Many superhero-style action and fight sequences, but not much blood or gore — more fantastical. Car chases, spear fights, shooting, etc.

Language: One middle finger.

Sexuality: A chaste kiss.

Drugs: None.

Parents advisory: Great for older kids and teens, but too action-filled for very small children.

‘EARLY MAN’

PG

What it’s about: A caveman challenges some Bronze Age higher-ups to a soccer match for his village.

The kid attractor factor: The claymation style and silly humor is great for kids.

Violence: Some hunting scenes, an asteroid hitting earth, some chase scenes and action-packed soccer matches.

Language: None.

Sexuality: None, but a few claymation nude jokes.

Drugs: None.

Parents advisory: Fine for kids of all ages.

‘PETER RABBIT’

PG

What it’s about: The beloved Beatrix Potter tale about a mischievous rabbit gets a modern update.

The kid attractor factor: The animated wildlife, the songs, the jokes, etc. It’s all here for kid audiences.

Violence: Quite a bit of raucous violence as the rabbits battle with their foes, including chasing, smashing, electrocuting, trapping and exploding. Fairly violent (not gory) for a kids movie.

Language: None.

Sexuality: Some romance between Bea (Rose Byrne) and Thomas (Domhnall Gleeson).

Drugs: A marijuana reference with a carrot stick.

Parents advisory: Fine for most kids, but probably way too scary for the youngest ones.
