Seriously.....anyone help me out with that one.

Why was it Rated R?

Hardly any swearing, the violence in it wasn't that graphic, save one scene that was mildly graphic near the end, and it's not like the subject material was unsettling either.

I've no idea why the movie was Rated R.

Then you watch Beowulf.....and I'm stunned the movie wasn't rated R.

The MPAA has its head up its butthole.

Being R gives it more Oscars street cred.
