Warner Brothers have announced they are going to follow Marvel's method and not allow any R rated comic book movies. Marvel has made a pretty penny off of Spiderman, Iron Man, the Hulk, with upcoming sequels set to explode the box office. Warner Brothers has recognized what seems to be a good idea, not allowing an R rating to attract a bigger audience.
While I understand where they are coming from, I don't agree with a policy like this. As a company, you need to make the movie the way the movie needs to be made in accordance with the directors and producers and the movie itself and let the ratings lie where they fall. It is a much better idea to say no R rating for Spiderman and Iron Man, but let's say a Watchmen script, or a Batman script has a killer story, but is scrapped because it could get an R rating, now we are trimming stories to fit in the policy which, I think, will result in watered-down stories coming out. I hope I'm wrong.
What do you think, does such a policy put too many constraints on a movie, or is sticking with a PG or PG-13 rating a good requirement?
