There's no way that The Dark Knight should have been rated PG-13. There was a TON of cold blooded R-rated murder in that movie. How did Warner Bros. get by with that rating?

I'm cool with violence, but this seems very hypocritical for the ratings board, I've never seen a film get away with this like TDK has.

I agree with this statement.
- James Ferguson
Did they show a lot of blood? I know that's a major factor in determining if violence in a movie gets it an R rating. Additionally, it's not a science: it's a bunch of parents in a room who vote on what rating the movie gets.

The pencil scene == NOT PG-13...was awesome tho!
- Mack D. Male
Blood is the key, and TDK has very little. Not saying it's right, but it's just another special quirk of the ratings board.

This reminds me that I still need to see "This Film is Not Yet Rated."
- James Ferguson
yes, but it was a *clean* decapitation. :-) decapitated by RPG = PG-13. rachel dawes shower scene = R. :-D
- Karim
If there was a half second flash of boob it would have been R rated....
- Jason Carreira
Being a parent, I actually care about this. LOL. Guess I gotta take mini-me to see it anyway.

While I think that your average 13-year-old can handle the violence in this film, it is certainly highly inconsistent with how the MPAA usually rates films. Not to mention the violence vs. sex/nudity double-standard.
- Eric Portelance
PG-13 for "Intense Sequences of Violence, Some Menace"... uh, no, lots of menace.
- Wade Dorrell
Plus, Joker blewup a hospital. Not a movie for little kids.

Yeah, probably should have been R. Just helps show how much more jaded the ratings board is getting every year. Loved the movie though. Ready to see it again.
