River 105,802 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 54 minutes ago, Reality said: I saw them post this, but I don't know what to make of it. It says that it's according to Warner Bros. Italy. Do rating systems work differently there? I'm usually not a stickler for ratings because as long as the movie is good, I think the age rating is kind of irrelevant, but I hope that it's still rated R. I want the movie to keep the same tone and style as the first one. Even Joker was 14+ in Italy, it depends on the country, these are the ratings of Joker in the major countries: Argentina:16 (with warning) Australia:MA15+ Austria:16 Belgium:KNT/ENA Brazil:16 Bulgaria:D Canada:14A (Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Saskatchewan) Canada:14A (Canadian Home Video) Canada:13+ (Québec) Chile:14 Colombia:15 Czechia:15 Denmark:15 Ecuador:16 (Guayaquil) Ecuador:18 (Loja) Ecuador:18 (Quito) Egypt:16+ Finland:K-16 France:12 avec avertissement Germany:16 Greece:A-18 Hong Kong:IIB Hungary:16 Iceland:16 India:A Indonesia:17+ Ireland:16 Ireland:18 (DVD rating) Israel:16 Italy:VM14 Japan:R15+ Kuwait:18+ Lithuania:N-16 Luxembourg:16 Malaysia:18 Maldives:18+ Malta:15 Mexico:B15 (with warning) Netherlands:16 New Zealand:R16 Nigeria:18 Norway:15 (cinema rating) Peru:14 Philippines:R-16 Poland:18 Portugal:M/14 Russia:18+ Russia:16+ (TV rating) Singapore:NC16 South Africa:16 South Korea:15 Spain:18 (ICAA) Sweden:15 Switzerland:16 Taiwan:15+ Thailand:18 Turkey:18+ United Kingdom:15 United States:R (certificate #52301) Ukraine:16 United Arab Emirates:PG-15 (self-applied) Vietnam:C18 His fart felt like a kiss 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with you. Also, Europeans rating offices distinguish between different kind of nudes (e.g. for artistic purpose or for sexual content), while Americans' office seems to go crazy as they see a penis (that, also, in US movies usually is a fake prosthesis).

Blue wig 330 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Anyone else here who can't handle blood and is hoping that it really is a PG film? Because it's going to be so sad to watch her do a whole press tour for a film I'll never watch...

JoanneMonster 8,632 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 1 hour ago, EGOT2027 said: the first movie was rated R and is famously known as the first R rated movie to make a billion dollars. there are now rumors on twitter that the just released poster has 14+ on it in some countries, suggesting the movie could be rated PG-13 in the U.S. this would be HUGE for the box office numbers, as millions of more people would be able to buy a ticket and be #seated for our queen https://x.com/jokerfolienews/status/1775222534419411289?s=46 a movie being rated R in the US doesnt mean its going to be +18 in other countries. Joker 1 was +15 in Colombia, for example. I See You Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean… in most american tv shows and movies womens breasts are always covered and so on. Here in spain its normal to watch a tv show or a movie with that kind of nudity, maybe because people are topless in the beach and we are used to it. Also you can go to a supermarket here and have WAP uncensored playing and no one will care about it, the us is waaay more strict censoring I See You Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong tho Good point, it's maybe not non-stop blood and violence like other films... But still, reading the IMDB parent's guide made me want to steer well clear of that film (and of the sequel if it has the same rating ) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G U C C I 5,388 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) I will be disappointed if it isn’t a full on solid R rated movie in the states. I want all the violence, gore, sex, and language they can throw in with the musical aspects. Gaga has never been one to hold anything back and I hope this movie gives her the most opportunities to go as far out as she wants.

Aren 965 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 The US is a puritan nation. A PG-13 movie in Europe means rated r in America. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes… this is quite stupid, and also hypocritical. A society that represses sexuality over violence definitely raises some questions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
