The Transformers Movie Rated R??

I used to watch the Transformers on TV while growing up and heard about an upcoming movie. Looks like this movie was a little too hot to handle getting an initial rating of R by the MPAA. The Transformers rated R?? What’s with that?

Too much violence? Do transforming robots bleed?

Nudity or some type of robo-porn? Are there even female/opposite gender Transformers? Or is it same sex kind of robo-lust?

Nope, the R rating was for being too intense. Yes, intense which has been described as “…sheer intensity. It’s aneurysm-inducing.”

Executive Producer, Steven Spielberg, appealed the rating and got a tame PG-13 instead. But, he had to cut out that scene where Megatron shows off his megatron.
