PG-13 can be very gritty, very violent. Really the only difference between PG-13 is sexuality and profanity. And really, do we need boobies and f-bombs in a Wolverine movie?

Great point...As long as the tone is dark...even if theres not much visual violence, a little implied violence would be fine...Though i still wanna see people bleed after Wolvie stabs them. A movie can still be pg-13 and still have the kind of dark, disturbed tone needed for a Wolverine movie.

R would be nice, but I won't be angry if it isn't R rated.

The rating doesn't bother me as long as it isn't geared solely towards kids. I'm just happy that Hugh is so in to the character and he really wants to make it good.

A hard PG-13 would be fine for Wolverine. I dont think they'd ever let him go R rated. Just let him a bit hardier/edgier in his own franchise and he can be lighter in the X movies...

Its the same thing i hear people saying about Ghost Rider and Batman; make it R Rated. Firstly the studios are never going to do that since they're investing tons of money in to these movies which they'd like to make back. And secondly you're going to alienate a lot of young potential fans if you make it R Rated.

Don't get wrong an R Rated Wolverine would probably be awesome but i just don't see it happening.

it feels like we'll see the same old "Logan slices everyone, kills everyone, mutilates everyone, but no drop of blood is taken" :p

I wouldn't mind that at all.

Aslong as it's as intense and violent as X2 (when all the troops overun the mansion) I'll be fine. That managed to be a 12, so I can't see why this can't be either.

Exactly...look at "Batman Begins" (which I was just watching on HBO about 10 minutes ago). That was PG-13 and it wasn't a kids movie at all.

I don't think so many little kids are into the X-Men movies anyway--at least my cousins and my friends' kids, the oldest of which is 7, don't watch them or aren't allowed to. They like Spiderman. :spidey:

The R-rating would keep a lot of teens out of the theater, which is box office suicide. I think they can do a decent movie and still keep it PG-13.

Also check out the Christian Bale interview on that site. He was asked the same thing about an R-rated Batman sequel and gave basically the same answer. :)

Due to the Wolverine I know I haven't seen that yet, besides the whole no blood thing. Im tired the goreless crap!

You sound like most of the Wolvy haters, truth is Xmen wouldn't sell as well without him so they used him a little more than they had too. I admit so, but with his movie I wanna see more and so does everyone else. I wanna see a Wolverine who cares for no one but himself and his girl and has a slang to his voice. I wannna see a Logan who is human but still overcome by animal instincts.

I know Wolverine owned the Xmen trilogy but how else would it sell? Truthfully, the movies would be all DareDevil without Logan. He makes, and is written, to make the X universe rotate. Well atleast on the big screen.

i have seen many pg-13 movies that have been gritty and have edge. and it sounds like hugh wants to have edge. it could still look great with a below R rating.

If that's what it comes to be then I'll deal with it. You're probably right but I hope it's R.

In my dreams I wanted a R movie, but I knew it would never happen... :(
But then, like many said, a PG-13 movie can still be dark and gritty, so Iīm counting on Wolverine not being a kiddiesīmovie only because it wonīt be R.

As an exampple, I'm seeing The Prestige described as a film for adults despite a PG-13 rating . From what I've read, it's definitely not a nice, cosy tale for children.
Loganbabe
10-24-2006, 04:25 AM
^Thatīs a good example. The Prestige certainly isnīt a movie for children.

No, but it wouldn't hurt:woot: It had better be bloody.

IT HAS TO BE R RATED, a wolverine movie rated r would be so much better because it would make the character look way darker and more of a badass.

If they do a pg 13 rating then it will just be the same as the wolverine from the x men films which was good but this movie should be different from that trilogy.

Wolverine's claws should be bloody. :cmad:

Shoot it like it's gonna be R then cut it to PG-13 and then release the R-Rated cut on DVD. Everyone's happy.

PG 13 is fine. Just as long as there is some blood...
JustABill
10-28-2006, 03:41 AM
There can be blood in a PG-13 movie, just not tons of it, I'm sure. I did get slightly annoyed after a while in the X-Men trilogy when no blood would be on Wolverine's claws when he'd be slicing and dicing. It was almost like his blades were heated to the point that it stopped any bleeding.

^Yeah, it wasn't very realistic, but now that he is producing his own spin-off, I'm sure Hugh will have more of an input of the what's being seen eg. effects, props, etc.

R rating Dammit

The difference is that although pg-13 covers a lot of good violent movies, the level of violence a wolvie flick requires just wouldn`t be covered in pg-13. Some would say no but look at this list: Last Samurai, Blade, The Hunted, Kill Bill, Matrix Reloaded, what do those films have in common? The best in Knife/sword related fights and they are all.... not pg-13.

Oh and Lord of the rings only really escaped r-rating because the main body of things getting killed were orcs with green blood. If blood is a different colour then apparantly it is not as bad.

The idea of a mainstream film about a superhero with blades coming out of his hands not being a r-rated film is laughable. There have been many sword fighting films that are pg-13 but that is because they FOUGHT with swords, they just clanged them around jousted a bit and then poked the other guy. Wolverine ain`t gonna do some fencing with the villain they are gonna slice each other up like a master chef having a fit.

Name one good movie with decent human against human sword fights with them actually slicing each other frequently and drawing blood which was a pg-13. There aren`t many.

R-Rated or it`ll just be Wolverine-In Name-Only-The-Motion-Picture.LOL

The rating isn't important until a good story is written. Imho, "R" doesn't NECESSARILY equal a better Wolverine movie. Also, more blood doesn't NECESSARILY equal a better movie. Shouldn't it be about the story and not the blood?

True but this is a topic about the rating. The rating has nothing to do with the story. Hence why we are talking about the blood and gore.

Fair enough. But it seems like some are talking as if more blood would equal a better movie (i.e. story).
I do see what you're saying though.

I think it could pass for PG-13, and still manage to have a degree of violence and blood. Though, I wouldn't mind it being R-rated. So long as Logan is seen in this full potential.

So you honestly think that Halle would ever settle for a cameo?
JustABill
10-31-2006, 03:29 AM
The woman isn't as stuck up as everyone seems to think she is. She would take a cameo. :o

But she doesn't need one, not here, especially since Wolverine is going to be a prequel.
Cyclops
10-31-2006, 10:29 AM
After all the work she did to make "Halle in a Wig" a very prominent character, I don't think she'd settle for a cameo.
