<blockquote><i>Originally posted by zoothe</i><p>Let me put it this way: ALL four Alien films and BOTH Predator films were rated R... with good reason. How are you going to make a crossover film that's taken from 6 R rated films and make it PG-13?!?! <p>So now we can expect half-assed, child-friendly cursing (ie: "You ugly son of a..." as opposed to Arnold saying "You're one ugly motherf--ker."). You may ask why that's a big deal... because it's freaking lame! It's Ed Furlong in T2 lame!!!<p>Also, where with an R rating you get visible violence, a PG-13 movie has more "implied violence". Why a big deal? The Alien and Predator movies are violent by nature and now you have to tame it down for the kids? Give me a break. Fox suck ass!<p>You didn't see New Line go soft and make Freddy vs. Jason a PG-13... and if they had, everyone would have laughed and said "What the fu-k?!". (Not saying FvJ was a great movie or anything, but it's a perfect example). Anyone who loves the Alien and Predator movies as much as I do has to feel somewhat disappointed in a PG-13 rating. I'll still go see it, but my expectations have dropped substantially.<p>[size=small][Edit by zoothe on [TIME]1092283346[/TIME]][/size]<br></blockquote><p>I never saw any of the other movies but I can't stand ah-nuld. The only R rated films I ever watch have to be either:<p>A) documentary, educational, or drama<br>B) Scifi action drama (like the Matrix)<br>C) Anime.
