DISQUS

We need a new system.

I agree with Keith, we need a new system of rathing movies. This antiquated system that is currently hobbling it's way all over our movies is straight out of a Christian boot-camp. They need to realize that films are not going to bring back the 1950's nuclear family.

On to the topic at hand though, I feel that Max Payne should roll with the R rating, keep in the violence, and don't make the cuts. The game was M rated, so no one under 18 could buy it anyway. Would anyone want to see a PG Grand Theft Auto? No.

Keep the 'R' Rathing and go with it, lets see a bad-ass film, and not something cut down so Junior and his friends can go see it.

No kidding. Everyone was scared about a PG13 Max Payne and now, we could either see a sweet R or an abridged film so Moore and Fox can get that 13. Will C is right: the game was M, which equals a movie R.

And what, a movie gets an R if someone is smoking in a scene? Gay.

There shouldn't even be an MPAA. Film is an art, as with music, visual art, stand up, theater productions, etc and none of those have any kind of rating system that effect the outcome of its success. Except films, if the MPAA gives your film an NC-17 rating, you're absolutely fucked as far as distribution and overall ticket sales, which should NOT be the case. It's ridiculous...

The MPAA should NOT have as much influence as it does. Their ratings should be guidelines, not the law. 16-year-olds should be allowed into an R rated movie without their parents.

Max Payne is doing a lot of Batman-hating though. With Mark Wahlberg picking fights he can't win with Batman and now Max Payne blaming The Dark Knight for the R-rating, it is too much.

Keep it an "R" rating you will get more traffic that way than cutting the film up and ruining the tone of the movie.

Bottom line: Don't buckle to a bunch of Liberal Nazi's.

"Don’t buckle to a bunch of Liberal Nazi’s."

I think you meant to say "a bunch of uptight conservative nazi's..."

It's ultra right-wing bible-thumping-socker-moms who want laws to keep 17 year-olds out of films where the F-word is spoken more than once... Not the ultra-left-wing-liberal-pot-smoking-hippies. They may be against guns but don't mind seeing them on TV.

Being a filmmaker myself, I am afraid of the MPAA coming in and telling me what is appropriate for my films. The fact that they're made up of conservative volunteers who are still yearning for a world where Leave It To Beaver still exists scares me as well. I understand FOX is interested in reaching a wider audience (the few films that were under their thumb over the summer did not do too well financially), but Max Payne is a dark and violent game. The movie should follow suit. The trailers I've seen look amazing (the use of Marilyn Manson's If I was Your Vampire in the trailer was brilliant!) so I hope if they do decide to cut it to a PG-13 rating it won't suck major hog balls. HITMAN was PG-13 and it surprised me how entertaining it was. I'm pulling for this film to do well. It's about time we get rid of the MPAA and allow the American movie going audience to decide what they want their kids to see. They pretty much decide it anyway when i see little kids in an R rated film, so the MPAA are pretty much useless and a waste of time.

I think they should stop crying and focus on adding any last touches to the movie. So its rated R, whatever. It appeals more to the originals fans of the video game, and it tells us its not going to be a little baby film.

The Dark Knight was fine at PG 13- there was no blood or anything, and so what if they smoked in the film, people smoke in schools its nothing kids have never seen before.

Max Payne sucked. This movie had the potential to equal the first matrix movie .
All in all only 10 people died . Ten . You have to wait and hour before anyone gets it in 15 minute increment .
1st hour : 5 shot
1 25 : 3 shot
1 27 : 1 shot
1 29: 3 shot
1 35 : 1 shot
Oh ya and you know the trailer where you see Max Payne shooting in the office doing his characteristic bullet time maneuver , one guy gets it Violently in his KNEE .
Also , not one , im not kidding i didn't see not one drop of blood in the whole movie its all dust .
Comparing the murder of his wife and child to the game , in the game you've got blood covering literally half the room , there's blood on the cot , on the bed in the movie the wife is just laying on the bed there are hints in the movie that she has been violently tortured but absolutely nothing is out of place .
Its for 8 year olds .
