The Amazing Spider-Man G Rating or R Rating?

[JeanVitchier]

This is confusing. I read on the boards that the reboot is going to be funny and with lots of quips, appropriate for families to take their kids to watch. But on the other hand, I read that it's going be to dark and brooding like TDK.

So is it going to be a G rated movie or an R rated movie?

I would prefer a hard G rated movie.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

It'll be PG-13, I'm sure. No way in hell we'll their ever be a G rated or R rated Spidey flick.

 

[bryanss3]

What exactly is a hard G you mean like PG? and just straight up no to R.

 

[Golgo-13]

PG-13 more than likely.

If it's a PG then were in trouble.

If it's a G the franchise is over.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Come on, I wznt to be able to take my kids see this movie...If I have kids by 2012,lol.

 

[Daybreak_st]

Yeah it will be PG-13 most likely. They're not going to alienate the biggest fan base, the kids. The reason the other movies are so big is b/c of children and all the merchandising that came afterward.

That was Raimi gave us. A reboot that's the same as the previous franchise?

 

[BillyZaned]

PG-13... what a dumb thread.... the only superhero movie I can think of that had a PG rating was FF4-2......

 

[Sentinel X]

What the hell is a hard G?!

Anyways, it'll definitely be PG-13. G and R are out of the question and will probably never happen...ever.

PG I doubt it but if it did I wouldnt care as long as the movie is great.

$$

Highest grossing R film has not passed 300M domestic.

They run a high risk by making it R. PG13 is the highest they will go.

ergo, Venom fans will not get their Venom until an R spin-off is produced

 

[Sentinel X]

Actually...Highest grossing R film is passion of the christ and made 370 million domestic

 

[Reikowolf]

/\ That should not count. Many parents would take their kids to see that based on the fact that it's Jesus. Some theaters also dropped the rating to allow minors in. I remember there was a whole ruckus about that.

R rated Spider-Man would have a different reaction. "why would you show kids this kind of violence and profanity"

grrrr, religious double standards anger me

 

[Reikowolf]

Good point though sentinel!

I did forget about that

 

[Reikowolf]

370 is still under 400M which is the benchmark.

The risk is still too high for the studio to go forward.

 

[Golgo-13]

Seriously guys; i would not be surprised if this was a PG. PG means even more money at the b.o for them. F4 2 did it. It didn't seem like a PG but it was.....

 

[Gotham22]

It better be PG-13.

 

[Pythagoras]

A PG-13 movie...no way its gonan be Rated R.

Sadly, there were all too many scenes in the Spider-Man films that does seem like a soft "G" rated movie...almost cartoon-like.

 

[SuperFerret]

Who the hell wants to see a Spider-Man movie that's not kid-friendly?

 

[©KAW]

Me.

I hate kids...and I believe that when comic book films cater too much to them...you end up with Batman & Robin, Fantastic Four and Spider-Man 3.

 

[SuperFerret]

And what age were you when you started to enjoy super hero comics?

 

[Duneboy]

Ummm, ya pg-13 rating all the way. Then again, FF2 got a pg rating but surprisingly it was better than the 1st FF flick. At least I felt so.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Pg-13.

A movie can be dark & funny at the same time. Look at Iron Man, it's the perfect example for this movie should be. It should have dark elements, but also have some light & humorous elements.

And most importantly, everyone can enjoy it.

Nope. Most of the highest-grossing movies are PG-13 with the exceptions of movies that were made before the rating came out like E.T. & the original Star Wars.

They'll be losing a teen & maybe even adult fan-base by making it PG. What teens/adults want to see a PG rated movie nowadays?
