PG-13 violence type: blood and brutal.
Severe violence.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Moderate
134 of 190 found this moderate
A character convulses violently while being propped up by a machine. This could be disturbing for some viewers.
There is a sudden unexpected jump scare as Willem Dafoe's character quickly flashes on the screen (with a loud, ear-piercing sound) while he is trying to remember how he got to his current location.
After being attacked, May is yelling in the hospital that she saw very big scary yellow eyes, this moment can be some disturbing. The last fight scene of Spidey and The Goblin is very intense and violent.
