This is an American movie, violence is not an issue.

But show one nipple and you are in for a world of hurt.

We shall see....

If this were true, we'd have an entire string of direct-to-video Battle Royale remakes by this point.

Kids/teenagers and violence is still kind of a taboo here.

And honestly I'm curious how much of the third book is actually going to make it to screen unscathed--not just the violence, but a lot of the concepts it deals with are... kind of not what you'd expect from the first book/movie.

So damned hyped for this... debating paying $$ to go to a fancy local iPic theater and see it in comfort opening weekend. Better not suck.

I would agree that the concept of violence is not an issue, but there's a marked difference between how PG-13 and R portray violence. PG-13 mostly alludes to violence or masks the full extent of the damage caused by a violent act. An R movie shows most everything in graphic detail.

An example would be: the PG-13 "The Dark Knight" alluded to the Joker cutting someone's cheeks. An R rated movie would've shown the Joker cutting that person's cheeks.

There is a lot of carnage towards the end of Mockingjay that will have to be swept under a quick cut, which is a bit disappointing considering the book took its time explaining the details of the carnage. I felt a little bit sick reading those parts.
