You might be interested in not showing your kids the lift scene where he stomps a guys's head, or when he shoots another point blank with a shotgun. My comment

  When I was a kid, I would have just fast-forwarded straight to those scenes. The rest of the movie would have bored kid-me to tears.

  I'm not saying the ratings are always inaccurate, just that they aren't calibrated to most things I care about. Compared to some folks that go "Oh I would never let my child watch a movie rated R" as if that was some kind of determining factor. People swearing, using drugs, and nudity will get an R rating even if the movie is fantastic. Those three things I'm annoyed that people find objectionable for children, as it only increases the stigma as they get older, for what should be very positive things. Violence, meh, so long it's not deliberately cruel or scary, I don't see why it'd be disturbing. Over-the-top stuff like you say sounds more funny than anything else. (The children's shows, Golden Compass, and RWBY, both contain scenes where the jaw/head of an enemy is blown right off.) As another poster mentioned, Common Sense Media is a far better rating system. They address specific points so you can make a good determination. Even then, I find my kids often enjoy stuff that CSM rates well over their current age.
