Good movie, not family friendly
The movie was good overall, I felt like it was made well and was entertaining. For adults only or older kids though. We loved the first Shazam as a family and my kids are super disappointed they can't watch this one too. We are strict on sexy stuff and there's too much flirting and such in here, as well as a teen boy looking at a male underwear model in a magazine, then coming out to his family later in the movie. This one also had even more creepy stuff than the first one. Bummer that all the super hero movies aren't family friendly any more. If it were more kid friendly, I would have given it more stars.

Great movie, but no movie is safe.
I really enjoyed this movie... my boys mostly did, but having basically an all female cast was less enticing to them. They definitely missed Chadwick in it. They did like it though. I thought the messages were about protecting those you love were good as well as knowing when to fold. There was a fair amount of killing and violence but I felt like it was an old Star Wars movie as there was no blood. The sirens and a few other parts were creepier than anything in the first movie. My 8 year old wasn't bothered though. Graphics were amazing as all Marvel movies are. I thought Leticia (sp?) Held her own as the lead. I'd watch a third. Heads up for anyone strict on LGBT content though, a warrior kisses another warriors head at 2 hours 21 minutes. It's subtle but subtitles accentuate it since she says "my love". Otherwise a great movie.

Good but not as funny/silly as most Cars movies/shows
We've always loved anything Cars related, so kids were excited for this. They weren't as funny as we're used to as Disney seems to be making things more towards adults. There are some tongue in cheek and awkward moments. The third episode started with talking about a seance so we skipped that. Really not an appropriate episode for anyone under 10 because it's creepy, but adding that, I would say older than 10. The rest seem age appropriate for younger kids.

Pushing agendas
I missed the hullabaloo about the women kissing at the end and wish I wouldn't have. It's more than just brief. There's an angle change and loses it but then changes again and it continues through that scene. It's confusing for little kids and completely unnecessary. There didn't need to be any kissing from anyone, really. The movie itself is okay. I've always enjoyed star wars, but I'm not a buff that is critical on the plot. The movie itself is enjoyable to watch. There is another strong kiss between Rey and Ben that is off putting for kids but it does make sense with the storyline. I've always liked that star wars wasn't really bloody, so I'm not sure why they needed to change that, so there's a but of that in the movie too. We let our kids watch a lot of stuff when it comes to fighting and such, but put on the breaks with any sexy scenes.

Dark and inappropriate
Ok, I don't want to sound like a prude, but I feel like parents/aunts/uncles/grandparents/guardians/loving friends of children need to be warned about Ralph Breaks the Internet. We took the boys to see it today (not watching it ourselves first, it is Disney for goodness sakes!), and I was sorely disappointed and sickened. We all loved Wreck it Ralph. We thought the sequel, even if not as good, would still be worth the price of movie tickets. Not so. The whole movie was just weird and somewhat creepy. I felt like I was watching an adult movie that happened to be animated. There were multiple crude and cringe worthy animated parts and many instances of adult humor (we expected some but more tongue in cheek, not so blatantly in your face). I felt better after letting the boys watch both Jurassic World movies than I did today. We won't be going to watch any more Disney movies in theater or letting the boys watch any more new Disney movies without watching them ourselves first.
