Film Ratings

Film Ratings

Film ratings provide parents with advance information about the content of movies to help them determine what movies are appropriate for their children at any age. After all, parents are best suited to knowing each of their children’s individual sensitivities and sensibilities to pick movies for them. Ratings are assigned by a board of parents who consider factors such as violence, sex, language and drug use..

Film ratings are the age limit given to a film, depending on who it is suitable for and how much refrence they have to sex, drugs, Grand Theft Auto, crime




The film ratings available for a film are U, PG, 12, 12A, 15, 18, R18 and 21.







The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), originally British Board of Film Censors, is a non-governmental organisation who gives out film ratings

Rambo, is a film that has had its rating change from the main film to the final film. In the main film, the film rating was 15 but was changed to an 18, due to an increase in violence, language, drinking and smoking which was not suitable for a film rating of a 15.

  The PG-13 rating: http://www.slashfilm.com/question-how-has-the-pg-13-rating-changed-over-the-years-if-at-all/

 Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was deemed just a tad too graphic/violent for kids, but not so bad as to warrant an R rating. Since then, the PG-13 branding, which indicates that “some material may be inappropriate for children under 13, so the rating was therefore increased.








The reason we have film ratings is because film ratings provide parents with advance information about the content of movies to help them determine what movies are appropriate for their children at any age. After all, parents are best at knowing each of their children’s individual sensitivities and so pick movies for them that they think are sensible. Ratings are assigned by a board of parents who consider factors such as violence, sex, language and drug use.
