Gutsy mate, I put up a link about it in a thread the other day:

I think the M rating is both a good and bad thing imo.

For shame E1! Didn't you know if you want things recongised you have to do the job for the reporters and tell them where the story is? :P

So far Australia seems to be the country giving it the highest rating.

I saw it. Then the link for the Irish rating was posted so I went on a research trip to learn about the different classification systems around the world.

Australia's "M" rating really is the harshest i've seen for this movie. (That only means anyone up to 15 years old has to have parental guidance.)

Not like cinemas enforce an M rating anyway.

The trouble with G, PG and M ratings is they're only "recommended". And it's not like cinema workers are going to look at a 12 year old going to Transformers and say "Do you have parental approval?" :?

It's the MA15+, R18+ and X18+ that is SUPPOSE to be enforced.

In the US, it will be PG-13. Is that correct? I'ld be willing to wager large stacks of G1 mint in box figures that is WILL be PG-13.

... if I HAD large stacks of G1 mint in box figures.

Seems like it's getting a pretty similar rating everywhere.
