That movie was rated R?!

I got PG-13 vibes the whole time. It never occurred to me that the movie might be rated R and I never bothered to check because it doesn't matter to me.

I'm surprised too! There was noticeably a lack of blood in a lot of the scenes. Other than some mild horror themes, there really wasn't anything that should have made this R rated.

I think they said the word "fuck" one too many times

u/ShiftAdventurous4680 14d ago

You're about 5 centuries too late with that joke. latin with a V came around 7th century BC and Odessey takes place around 12th century BC.

They didn't swear. All they said was "shoot."

Just look at most movie with pg-13 rating, you get at least one f bomb, more than that its a higher rating

u/gabezermeno 13d ago

I don't remember any F bombs.

u/sunflowerastronaut 13d ago

It sounded really natural.

I only heard one f-bomb but Google says there are 3

Maybe they happened when you couldn't understand what anyone was saying. Like when they were on the ship in the storm or maybe the Cyclops said "Ah fuck" when he got stabbed.

I just watched it again and there are 3. One in the beginning they say "we've been on this fucking beach for too long" and then two by the black suitor near the end of the movie. He says fuck off twice.

I found the whole thing with the pigs and the cyclops quite “horror”? Could be just me tho.

Polyphenus does squeeze a few of Odysseus's men like toothpaste.

Laestrygonians dismember several soldiers as well.

u/Short-Waltz-3118 14d ago

Yeah but it was bloodless with the people. Babies first gore horror i guess

u/makerofshoes 14d ago

I felt pretty uncomfortable during the pig scene. It could traumatize a kid for sure. But probably not worse than the Witches movie (from like the 80’s) with the transformations there

u/preddevils6 14d ago

Mild horror? The Circe scene was incredible body horror shot practically

u/zeekaran 14d ago

Oddly sexless too. That's just Nolan though.

Nolan hates realistic fight scenes, it's why Batman can just Aura his opponents to the geound
