You may be one of the ones who just lays back and accepts it, but I'm sorry, I notice the difference in quality. Some movies just require a certain rating, and as tarsonus said so perfectly, it's almost enforced these days in order to make more money. Some movies aren't MEANT for a bigger audience -- they're meant for an adult audience. I'm someone who loves their fair share of movies of all ratings -- and yes, that includes many, many G movies, so please do not act like it's some sort of Nazi rating conspiracy. But when you bring me a franchise or property that is built on a mature, adult, R-rated content and then try and make it PG-13 to make more bank -- you're damn right I'm going to say something. It's a shame that oh-so-many people just buy into this nonsensical theory that they "get away with" much more in movies these days. News flash: they do not get away with more, they just use CGI to make it more cartoon-like and acceptable.

But here it is anyways, PG-13 is almost enforced now a days, because if you look at money made via theater tix sales, pg13 nets far more money (on average) and becasue of how many films a stuido has to put out in a year..they are semi forced into competing. smarmy, talk like ya know it. good job…now ya listening? ok, thought not.

It means the movie plays to a bigger audience with fewer "fucks." What's the problem? You should change this blog to "PG-13 Rating." It's obnoxious that you give such a damn.

Assuming LaBeouf even read it, I wonder what about it made him think he would be playing the same character as in Transformers. This really makes me wonder about the script.

You just get the meat & potato facts of the plot, but none of the nuance... none of the character stuff that would make an actor go, "I want to play THAT role." Yorick Brown is nothing like Sam Witwicky. He is more than the circumstances of his adventure.
