    So, Terminator is going to be a PG-13...

    ...with McG (aka: f***head) directing it, surely this spells total utter doom!

    AH FOR F*CK SAKE!

    Guaranteed suckage, nuff said. Haven't 'they' learned from AvP - taking R rated franchises and mashing them into PG-13 suckfests doesn't work (not that the R rated AvP2 worked either).

    Lame, and McG can f*ck off completely, and all the talk of merchandising right off the bat and how chuffed they are at the scale of the merchandising just shows T4 for exactly what it is, pocket-raping.

    They can all completely f*ck off.

    I expected this once I heard McG's(what kind of f*cking name is that, anyway??) name was attached.

    I really hope Christian Bale backs out of this flick. He's a better actor than his. He must be getting big money for it...

    Just because its pg-13 does not mean it WILL suck...It might but there have been a lot of good flicks rated pg-13. If the story is solid the acting is good then it could be a good flick. Now direction is questionable. And Important! Lets not poo-poo on the rating. Feel free to bash director though.

    Right with ya, Skip. A PG-13 rating don't mean s**t to me. All the Terminator sequels bordered on that certification anyway. If one was to remove the language and a couple of gore scenes from T2, it would probably be a PG anyway so I don't see what the fuss is about.

    But yeah, McG can f**k right off!

    It's not just down to a bit of gore and a potty mouth that made T2 an R, there's plenty of violence throughout.

    Now in the UK it's a 15, but it's a fairly hard 15 - or at least back then. It's not the hardest R, but it's an R nonetheless.

    Aiming for a lower rating is purely down to business, pack in the most kids - which makes no sense considering any adult or hobo can take a bunch of kids into see SAW if they want.

    Also, it's neutering. Die Hard 4 was alright, but it was neutered and tame, it didn't have the utter BALLS of the first film ... heck, Die Hard 3 (an R in the US and a 15 in the UK) had a fair pair of nuts on it, and that was in the censored form - which is lame, censoring a film for a lower rating, but still - there's something to censor).

    T3 was gash, a f*cking joke that took the piss out of the proper films - all that "talk to the hand" garbage, jesus christ.

    There's no respect appearing with T4 the more we hear about it, it's all a business exercise, milk as much money out of it, the merch and the guaranteed all-platform videogame cash-in, which will also be rubbish.

    Yes, there are good PG-13 movies, but they were always going to be that rating, not an R franchise getting it's balls lopped off for cash.

    F*cking sick, I'm going to join hellsing by going "lalala-imnotlistening"...he's got it all figured out there.

    Forgive me for living in a dark hole, but who is "McG"? Is that a nickname or something?

    I can just see the inevitable tie-ins when celebrities begin marketing themselves to sound like fast food products.
