Posted:  13 Jun 2006 11:40 Registered User Currently Offline Posts:  596 Join Date: Jun 2005 Think about the fact that they have Lex as much more evil person than they did in the Chris Reeve movies. Lex has his henchmen beat superman up in one scene which will probably gives the idea of low level fanasty violence or moderate stylised violence with some adult themes added to bring in the adults as well as the kids.

Someone has to explain where that kid came from. Also, there are planes that blow up and fly apart. Machine guns that fire at Supes (it needs to be explained that the bullets fly off him because he's an alien and that it should not be tried at home). I guess it also sounds cooler to be PG-13 rather than PG. You have to keep up with those Marvel Comics guys, don't cha know.

The superhero movies for the most part are all pg-13 even Spiderman which I really thought should have been pg. It's kind of dumb if you ask me, if that's true about what teenagers want. Why would it be cooler just because they added a couple of cuss words. I'm happy as long as it's got a lot of action and adventure and a good story. If you want cussing join the Navy or get a job on a construction site, I say. __________________ Read Superherouniverse.com Online Comics Posted:  14 Jun 2006 11:44 Registered User Currently Offline Posts:  596 Join Date: Jun 2005 So the USA got spiderman at a pg-13 rating hey? In Australia it got an M rating because of the violence and adult themes. We have a slightly different rating system in Australia compared to the USA. We have G - General Audiences, PG - Parental Guidance recommended for Younger Audiences, M - Recommended for a Mature Audience, MA - Restricted to persons 15 years or older unless accompanied by an adult and R - Restricted to persons 18 years or older. They check peoples IDs for the last two ratings. Just thought I would share that with everyone.

I think especially the stuff in the 70's was beyond belief because they would put bad dirty jokes and cussing in what would appear to be a kids movie. Now you take Rambo 3. It's rated R, and the only cuss word I remember is the f word at the end. Now they can stick it in on a PG-13 movie. I think the ratings are made by people who think that action is worse than foul language and dirty jokes. I'd much rather my kid see cartoon type violence than dirty jokes. I've also noticed some people tend to group regular super hero action in with grotesque horror movie violence as if you could compare the two. There is like a huge difference  between showing someone's head sliced off in slow motion and a super hero avoiding 5 huge explosions to land safely a block away. Oops, I went off the subject a little, sorry about that. The spidey scene you are talking about I didn't think it was that bad.   I look for bad language and blood and guts stuff to be the mark for a higher rating. We probably need more ratings to be honest. One for blood and guts, one for action violence, one for etc etc. __________________ Read Superherouniverse.com Online Comics Posted:  14 Jun 2006 23:13 Registered User Currently Offline Posts:  1536 Join Date: Jan 2006 ditto tim! there r movies 2day that r rated pg for who-knows-what reason! take movies like...umm...Glory Road! great movie! really intense though! i couldnt handle that if i was 9! and plus they said the "N" word alot! __________________ "Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.-Psalm 51:12 Posted:  15 Jun 2006 03:56 Registered User Currently Offline Posts:  596 Join Date: Jun 2005 Your national censors must think very differently to ours boys. Our national censors must think that as an audience we can easily distinguish between movie violence and real life violence and that swearing(the F or C word) are not as socially acceptable whereas, it would appear, that your censors think the other way around. In Australia, Rambo 3 got an M rating because of it's violence and swearing content but Tim has written that it got an R rating in the USA. In Australia if there is the F word spoken just once the movie it automatically gets an M rating because of course language. Down here they tried to get Star Wars Ep.3 at a PG rating but the censors thought that it contained too many adult themes and I think they even struggled to get Ep.2 to a PG rating for it's cinematic release because it was rated M when they released to dvd with the extra footage. Your censors are probably thinking that the Kevin Spacey Lex is a darker persona compared to the Gene Hackman version, with a much more violent streak about him in his efforts to defeat Superman. Think about this boys, there is a scene in the new movie in which Superman is getting beaten up and is bleeding quite badly, that would mean your censors are probably thinking that the movie is aimed more at an adult audience than a small child audience. They are, just guessing, thinking that a child of maybe 12 or younger might struggle to understand why Superman is getting beaten up and is bleeding whereas someone 13 or older is going to grasp the concept of what is happening in scene like that a little bit better. Just my thoughts on what might be their interpretation of the movie, boys. Posted:  15 Jun 2006 05:14 Registered User Currently Offline Posts:  69 Join Date: Jan 2006 I remember back in the mid-1980s when the Transformer Movie came out, the producers tried to get a PG-13 rating so that more teens would go. Ultimately they decided to have one of the characters say the f-word just for the higher rating. But seeing how Kevin Smith did not write this script, I wonder how much swearing actually goes on. Posted:  26 Jun 2006 11:15 Registered User Currently Offline Posts:  596 Join Date: Jun 2005 Well incase anyone is interested they gave the movie an M rating here in Australia with a discription of moderate violence as the reason for it's rating. I gues the fight between superman and lex and his henchmen must get a little bit graphic for the censors tastes. I am guessing that our M rating is equivilant to your PG-13 rating. Posted:  26 Jun 2006 17:06 Registered User Currently Offline Posts:  4892 Join Date: Apr 2005 Sounds a lot worse though. I guess it's what I'm used to here, but when you say mature audiences here I think of an R rated movie or worse. __________________ Read Superherouniverse.com Online Comics Posted:  27 Jun 2006 03:27 Registered User Currently Offline Posts:  29 Join Date: May 2006 Twenty four hours to go til Tuesady night....I CAN'T FRIGGIN' BELIEVE SUPERMAN RETURNS IS GOING TO BE ON A BIG MOVIE THEATRE SCREEN TOMORROW WITH MY ASS PLANTED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE THEATRE...WOOOOHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted:  27 Jun 2006 13:34 Registered User Currently Offline Posts:  596 Join Date: Jun 2005 No not really Tim because they understanding behind that rating is that you must have some sort of higher level of mental comprehension of reality to fanasty than that a child under the age of about 10 or 11 would normally have. Then again kids these days have access to a lot more information at a younger age then we ever did or, I personally, wanted to because too much of the wrong information at too young of an age might have the child thinking that they know more about this world than they truly do.
