The FFINO ZONE

[Boom]

I always think "PG" when I think "body horror."

That Cronenberg, always with the kid-friendly films!

Come on, Timmy! Let's go watch The Fly! Don't cover your eyes! Stop crying!

 

[Snow Queen]

PG? That's certainly surprising.
Didn't Teller flat out say that this movie "isn't for kids"?

It went from R to PG after they locked Trank out because originally Ben went Dr. Manhattan.

 

[Flint Marko]

I didn't know that about the rating system being different in Canada. That's certainly interesting though.

 

[Dark Raven]

What do you mean? He's still going Dr Manhattan, unless suddenly they've CGI-ed a pair of pants onto him.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Canadian PG, which is a different rating metric. IMDB tells me it's PG-13 in the US.

Canadian ratings tend to be a lot more lenient than American ones.

It isn't always the case, but I tend to find that in general it works out like this:

American PG = Canadian G
American PG-13 = Canadian PG
American 'Soft' R = Canadian 14A
American 'Hard' R = Canadian 18A
American NC-17 = Canadian R

That would be for Ontario anyways. I think each province gives out their own ratings, but I could be wrong.

There is a piece of CGI very visible in Dr Manhattan not present in The Thing

Well, unless you count Thing as a whole as one very big Thing.

It's about the same around here too (BC).

 

[Boom]

Nice to see America still lagging pathetically behind other countries when it comes to a logical movie rating system.

I despise how films that should be R rated are sanitized to get a PG-13. It has ruined many an action movie over the last decade.

 

[VenomsMom]

Will there be any boobs in this movie? Just my luck they would probably be invisible.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Our rating system here in the states is a freakin joke.

 

[Eddie]

No. There was a boob behind the camera, though.

 

[Docker2.0]

Yeah but he has no thing or balls. He's like a Ken doll so I don't see why the rating would go up to R..................actually since dude is walking around naked.........but yet has no genitals, how don't know how to rate this thing.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Another amazing sign of quality. Man this truly will be the next Fury Road.

I need some good news about this film, I'd love some good news about it but all of the news is bad. I'm not one to just be a negative nancy for no reason, I want a sign that this film will not be complete dog****.

I've been saying that for over a year. I don't hate this movie based on principle or because I hate FOX or anything like that. My problem is that I haven't seen ANYTHING good. From the odd casting choices to bizarre choice in tone to the behind-the-camera problems to the poor trailers to the 20 years out of date VFX to the embargo to the short runtime, EVERYTHING is a bad sign. That's why I'm so pessimistic about this film.

 

[Farren]

At 100 minutes run time and that soundtrack listing, Doom will probably only be a villain for 15 minutes.

This is a perfect, concise summary. Each step of the way I've been hoping for something good and each step of the way they've let me down.

There's no single, major component of this film I like.

That means that there's lots of little bits of this film you do like.

Sounds like the the first FF film.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

I lol'ed

If I had been optimistic, I'd have totally dropped that optimism when I found out about the embargo. I don't get why anybody is still on board after we learned of the embargo.

People here know I was optimistic. They also know that I'm greatly disappointed. The embargo just crushed any last shred of hope I had.

It blows and I don't want the film to be poor but the studio is screaming that their film sucks and some are ignoring it because they want to be right.

If the studio allowed reviews Monday and maybe early Tuesday I would have said that maybe the film is decent, not great but decent but nope they are allowing reviews to be released Wednesday afternoon? And they suspiciously changed the Thursday date so the day before thing is something new.

Well Canada is not USA. So it's a given they would have a more reasonable ratings system fit for a more reasonable people.
