Tonight I went to see “Hellboy 2″ with my mom, aunt, nephew and second cousin. The movie was rated pg-13, and the boys are 8 and 9 years old, so we figured they could handle it. Everything was great until the previews came on. Suddenly we saw “This preview is rated R” on the screen, and then the preview for the movie “Quarantine” which freaked both kids out. Once Hellboy started they were fine, but I am still upset that they showed an R-rated preview before a PG-13 movie.
This just doesn’t make sense and definitely doesn’t seem right. Both kids will probably have nightmares tonight, because of the previews they saw rather than the movie they watched. Can we no longer trust the ratings on movies because of the previews that are shown?
