It’s Official: The Expendables 3 Is MPAA Rated PG-13

Well, speculation can end.  When Stallone announced PG-13 as being the likely rating (and doing it conveniently behind Cannes theatrics so that less would notice), he seemed to stop just short of confirming it outright.  After the nuclear uproar over The Expendables 2 PG-13 leak, I’m sure that was deliberate caution, just incase…

Well the uproar this time around was nowhere near as intense.  They’ve gotten away with it.  Here’s the official rating: “Rated PG-13 For violence including intense sustained gun battles and fight scenes, and for language.”

Mind you, when I say the uproar is nowhere near as intense, that’s not a good thing.  It’s not that the rowdy core fanbase has acquiesced.  Many of them have just abandoned the franchise completely.  In that regard and having a finger ‘on the pulse’ so to speak of such fans, I’m inclined to follow Adobe and BoxOffice.com and predict a serious hit at the box office.  And to think, some websites brandished others as “traitors” for not getting on board with this.

Damn shame…
