I don't think most movies should be made with a rating in mind; just make a good movie, then accept whatever rating comes with it.

If changing just a few words gets you a lower rating, then I could understand doing that, but not drastic cuts. As it is, I was somewhat surprised to enjoy Cloverfield as much as I did with its PG-13 rating. I figured it would be too toned-down. I still bet that the original version was better.

Also, I can understand how a PG-13 rating would make a movie available to a wider audience, but it often drives me away. If a horror movie is PG-13, I will definitely not watch it. I love Die Hard's "1" and "3" (haven't seen "2"), but had no interest in the new one, mostly because it was PG-13. Just sayin'.

Edit: Oh, yeah, forgot to answer the question. It really depends on the circumstances within the film itself. I wouldn't mind a PG-13, if it was as good as the first, but an R would definitely make me more excited, and expecting a better movie.


They shouldn't be, you're correct, but it's Hollywood.

PG-13 may drive you away but they still gain more then they lose. They lose you but gain tons of these Middle School kids willing to spend their parent's cash.

In the end it's about $$. c'mon. let's get real.

Was it Abrams (or someone else) that stated they were going for an R rating but changed it so that they could have a wider audience? I know I read it a while back.

it's about the money folks. that simple.

Drew Goddard said it was originally going to be Rated "R" in an interview:

 		I don't think it needs to be R. PG-13 worked out fine. I still think Marlena exploding was one of the most disturbing things I've seen in a while.

 		Maybe so, but I still wanted to see MGP chomp on some more people. I demand tasty human snacks, damnit!

Maybe the DVD will be "unrated".
