The Rating hold back feels somewhat deceitful and if the movie is PG-13 (as our source states) then the rating hold back is, overall, a carefully crafted yet cynical marketing ploy, as the studios know, and have known, for quite some time,- what the rating of the movie will be.įans were treated like fools with Terminator Salvation when a Pizza Hut viral website revealed the rating the studio responsible (Warner Bros/Halcyon) also did a rating hold back job. Whilst the more finished renders of CGI do indeed have a little more blood it simply isn’t the level of blood that lives up to the name of the franchise.Īlso, we have no way of knowing that the slight additional blood we have seen (in behind the scenes footage) isn’t meant for an Unrated/R Rated home release and that the theatrical cut will probably feature no blood as depicted in the trailers. While we have reported that small changes had been made to visual effects sequences to make them slightly more brutal (fan backlash? lol) it in no way means that it will be as brutal as the fans want or deserve. Our understanding and translation of such a statement is… “cash grab”. We asked our source again more recently and they are still sticking with PG-13 with our source describing it as “something the studios prefer to do for marketing reasons”. Well, our source close to the production of the movie has assured us all along that the movie will be Rated PG-13… we have described what we have witnessed and understand as fantasy style/comic book violence as being the back door out of a harder rating for the movie, CGI characters dealing the blows is something running throughout the movie,- not just in the Arnold Vs Arnold battle.
