just imagine...if it was gonna be rated R,then that means ALOT of action

|sf> You've got to be kidding me. When I see an ad with an R rating, it usually means a high level of bad language, something of which bugs me to no end in movies. I've been a Transformers fan since 1986, but if it had been rated R, I'm almost positive I would have skipped seeing it in theaters.

dude even if it is i'll get in

I'll be surprised if there's alot of bad language. I imagine it's just R for extreme, never ending violence. Of course, I could be wrong. When I was a little kid 9 years of age, I was shocked by the bad words in Transformers: The Movie. I was kind of a wuss, and I didn't even want to watch the show afterwards, fearing there'd be more cussin' in it.

they cut the "Oh s&*t what are we gunna do now" from the original movie so maybe they'll relase it minus a few words on DVD

[InvaderJes]

Yeah, I had the no-s&*t version on tape.. or copied it illegally from the video rental place anyway. (don't tell!) I later bought a canadian version of the movie (still VHS at the time) which had all the swearin' intact. It's in my DVD now. The chapter with that part is called 'Swear Word'. I appreciate that part now, as I'm pretty sure Spike's reaction to Unicron is really the only appropriate reaction.

i think that would be anyones reaction

I saw ads for the movie the other day, and it still had the "This Movie Is Not Yet Rated" in place of the rating. Maybe this means it's still teetering on the edge of R-ness?

Yes, but an R rating means that they'll lose all the tickets sold to kids who would want to see the movie and also they'd probably lose merchandise sales from those same kids who would have no idea what the heck the Transformers are from because they can't see the movie. PG-13 is the logical rating to shoot for with a film like this.

Yeah, true that the majority of their fans are going to be little kids, who love the show on cartoon network. I know that when I loved it, if a movie like this came out, I would have guzzled up all of the toys, DVDs, Movie Tickets, and soft drinks with the main characters on the can I could. What, little kids get obsessed with things easily...

but seriously, what they put in a movie is what pleases the audience, or at least thats what they hope to do.........It swearing what you like in a movie, or extreme action? Then again, would a transformer cuss? come to think about it.....lol
