Strong violence, which is more than most TV-Y7 titles carry. Beyond that, no swearing and a few tense moments.

Three questions

Is X-Men scary?
Only a little. X-Men has a few tense moments, nothing that follows you to bed.
How gory is X-Men?
No gore and strong violence.
What is X-Men rated, and is it OK for kids?
It is rated TV-Y7, but it runs warmer than that: strong violence. Know your kid.
