My kids, and my kids friends loved it. The games themselves are pretty simple with the exception of the last one that was released -- so there's not really a lot of "content" to work with, except for the lore. The movie was a tribute to the lore, and even added some confirmations of its own. It was exactly what I expected it to be. This wasn't meant for anyone coming into it expecting something deep.

How old are your kids? Would it be appropriate for a 10 year old?

IF they already play the games, sure. There are multiple stabbings, but no overly drastic gore. If they haven't been exposed to the games yet, it might be a small shock. My kids are 6, 12, and 15 - I left the 6 year old at Grandpas, but then he watched it on Peacock at home with no issues - but he's been exposed to it via his sisters since birth basically.
