Film rating

Over in the UK it's PG.

It seems funny how certain films get 'dispensation' on ratings, because of their content.

That FotR is a 'hard' PG is beyond doubt. Decapitation, limbs chopped off, numerous clear deaths by sword / arrow etc.

Compare it's content to that pile 'o poo Harry Potter!

In the cinema I go to they have an extra line under it's rating 'some scenes may be unsiutable blah blah' but everyone takes that with a pinch of salt. But some of the scenes were 'disturbingly' real. (although it struck me as odd that in Moria when a head gets chopped off you get gouts of blood, but when errr....... Boromir's killer gets his nonce removed there's nowt - same with his arm).

Anyway, glad he got this one through the censors OK.

Now I'm really going OT but wasn't Saving Private Ryan also a PG? It was either that or an 18!
