PG-13, very disappointing

The book was an R, if not an NC-17. The story needed to be told on the screen with more violence, swearing, and sex, true to life and true to the book. It is limited realease, so why did you not do an R rated movie ?

    I don't know if it's still true, but I heard years ago that PG and PG-13 movies do better at the box office than R. I have to say, I wasn't disappointed.

    I haven't seen it yet, but I don't mind if they expurgate some of violence and foul language.

    Maybe they should have done one rated R and one PG. I think kids should be exposed to the story, in expurgate form.

    G, PG and PG-13 are preferred by the theathers, because they don't have to do anything special to take them. Theaters hate R rated movies. They have to devote extra staff and they have to be set up to handle R with a seperate section that is closed off, limited access, and there has to be someone there at all times, to keep kids from getting in.

    Normally, this is a big concern, because it means that you are going to get a limited release to theathers that are set up for R films.

    Since this movie is already limited release, it would not be an issue.

    My biggestest gripe is that it is not true to the work, true to the book.

    It loses a lot not being an R.

    Also, all new cast every time is crazy. Can you imagine a Harry Potter where the entire cast was all new each time.

    When it is a remake, like Batman, then casting new actors is fine, but not in a trilogy.

    Imagine Star Wars with new casts in every episode.

    The people in charge should have signed the actors to a 3 picture deal and shot all 3 at the same time.

    Not sure what they were thinking.

    And WHY is this film not in areas that are the richest in the country ?

    Hilton Head, SC has no showing of this, are you kidding me ? !!

    For wealth, I think they are the third richest per capita in the country.

    Are wealthy people not interested in this movie, do they really hate Atlas Shrugged.

    That is what I am hearing.

    When I went and saw it, there were no wealthy people there.

    All of us were low income and that shocked the hell out of me.
