The MPAA rated Iron Man PG-13 for some intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence, and brief suggestive content.
There is plenty of comedy to offset the action and therefore we feel that this movie should be suitable for kids aged 10 and over. We feel you may not be happy with children under 10 watching 'Iron Man' mainly due to the realistic intensity of the opening war zone scenes which take up the first 15 minutes of the movie.
The MPAA rated Iron Man 2 PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi action and violence, and some language.
This movie is darker and has more action violence, death and destruction than previous Iron Man movies. The M rating is certainly justified.

Sex, Romance & Nudity
Making out and tumbling about in bed. A young woman wakes up in a bed covered only by a sheet, presumably after sex, and then walks around wearing just a man's shirt. Flight attendants dance suggestively (a dance pole is present but not used); much is made of Tony's reputation as a playboy.
Some parents may also be concerned about the coarse language. The film is therefore not recommended for children under thirteen and parental guidance is recommended for the 13 to 15 age group.
Parents need to know that Spider-Man's PG-13 rating comes from a couple of swear words, a clingy wet T-shirt, and -- particularly -- a great deal of comic book-style violence. It can get very intense and includes not just fires and explosions, but people getting vaporized, shot (off-camera), and impaled.

Captain America: The First Avenger is a classic good vs evil action adventure story. It's based on a Marvel Comics character. It contains violent and disturbing scenes that make it unsuitable for younger children and teenagers.
