Well, it's a 12A, so you're supposed to be 12, but an adult can decide to take children younger if they want.
We've all seen films before we were supposed to, but if we're honest, they probably played on our minds afterwards.
We take it for granted that things don't freak us out, but kids might not like them.
My son is 3 and he loves the Toy Story series, but refuses to watch TS3 because the screeching security monkey scares him. He doesn't want to watch Monsters Inc. because Sully can be quite scary at times. The "scary minions" in Despicable Me 2 worry him.
I was going to show him the Lego movie, but I think it might be a bit much for him.
I'm checking films are U now and not PG as I think they're more suitable.
I remember myself getting freaked at the scene in Superman 3 where the woman gets sucked into the computer!
We forget that some of our favourite "family" films are quite intense because of TV edits and bad memories, but there's swearing in Back to the Future, hearts being removed in Temple of Doom, penises in The Goonies and Bambi's mother
!
I actually was watching GotG with the thought of how suitable it is for younger viewers and although they don't play on the gore and a lot of violence is implied (The Accuser swings his hammer on somebody's head and it cuts away at the last second then we see blood on the floor), but the general saucy banter, adult language and violent sequences made me feel it's best appreciated by teens upward.
Obviously we all have differing opinions on what we were allowed to see, what our children should be allowed to see and censorship in general, but in my opinion (which two of you have asked me for, now!), I think 10 is a little young to see GotG.
