    Default Terminator Salvation PG -13!

    WOW. Shocking. But then agian the studio does have 200 million bucks to cover.

    What do you guys think? turned off by the rating? Still gonna see it?

    I dont know about you but I associate PG-13 action movies with choppy poorly edited, poorly paced choped up shells of their former selfs.

    I truly hope warner brothers does not rip terminator to ribbons in the EDIT.

    It looks like a pretty good movie so I guess I'll go see it.
    To be on top you have to experience rough times.

    I'm afraid things look a little more grim. In Germany, Sony has applied for an FSK-12 rating without cuts. To describe what that means would take more time than I'm willing to spend, but just to give you some perspective: In order to get the same rating, "The Incredible Hulk" had to be cut by more than five minutes...

    Hey, PG-13 means I can see it without parents, so I'm good with it.

    Off topic: Read the actual Watchmen graphic novel. Don't bother with the movie.

    Code:
    Incorrect...The trailers for the first movie showed damn near every money shot. Especially the Bonecrusher scene which was played to DEATH.
    Oh well, I suggest you watch the movie again. You may find there's a lot more to see than was in the trailers ;-)

    Im not surprised by the rating per say. Terminator is clearly not a pg 13 movie. It just bothers me because everytime I see a movie that should be rated R cut into pg 13 they are just messy and incoherent as a result of the edit.

    Gimme a break.....There's a very thin line between PG-13 and R anyway nowadays.... Just saying the F word one too many times can change the rating...So it really isn't that big of a friggin' deal...

    I really don't mind the pg 13 rating just as long as they keep all the action straight. Meaning keeping it good, fast paced, and steady, and not skimping out on it.

    Im not talking about content im talking about aesthetic. The Director stated they had creative liberty with the content. Studio is pulling the rating down. Im worried about what the editors will have to do to hide potentially R rated material. Things like ripping frames and jump cutting to make action more kenetic is most frequently done to hide the violence thats appearing on the frame.

    I plan to see the movie regardless just worried of some of the potential that might be sapped do to the EDIT.

    Anyone seen the R rated version of TAKEN? yea maybe you should check it out.

    I agree with R-Type that the scales have changed DRAMATICALLY. the rating was originally created for Raiders of the Lost Ark, while Temple of Doom had a PG, was bloody as hell and featured the screams of dead children rather prominently!

    Transformers narrowly escaped an R.

    I thought the real story went that it was actually Disturbia, that almost got rated R. The fact that Spielberg and Shia were involved in the project might have lead to the confusion.

    That was the case according to TFwiki: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Misconception...ers_.282007.29

    Releasing, amongst many others, a 4-minute clip that consists mostly of money shots - that reeks of desperation. I was really stoked for "Terminator: Salvation" when McG showed us several minutes' worth way back in November. But the more I see of it, the more sceptical I get...

    Whoopty freakin' doo.

    Besides, it actually looks more hardcore than the previous Terminator films.

    Still seeing it. In fact, PG-13 is a turn on for me.

    Too late.

    Bad director, bad script, bad cast, and bad action set pieces.

    This movie looks like a bomb.
