Godzilla (Toho) NewsBy Chris Sep 15, 2018Comments

It is official! The sequel to Gareth Edwards' 2014 film Godzilla, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, directed by Michael Dougherty will be rated PG-13. Just like Edwards' original, the Legendary and Warner Brothers produced monster flick will be appropriate for both adults and children when the film arrives in theaters next year.

MPAA have classified the film as Sci-Fi Action, with a PG-13 rating due to sequences of monster action violence and destruction, and for some language.

Nice. I think PG-13 is an appropriate rating for any Godzilla movie

As long as they push the PG-13 rating like they did with the last two films, I think we're in for some monster goodness. Seriously, look at some of the violent scenes in those films; they're actually quite brutal upon further inspection.

In the first movie, the female MUTO gets DECAPITATED; you can even see a bit of her spinal cord and spurting blood from the stump if you brighten the scene up.

In the second movie, we of course have the Mother Longlegs killing that one soldier pretty brutally, along with Kong RIPPING THE GUTS outta the Big One.

I expected it for this. Not surprising if this is the same rating used for Godzilla vs. Kong in 2020.
