With tickets for director Ruben Fleischer’s Venom now on sale, the runtime and the rating for the film has been revealed and it’s 1 hr 52 minutes… and PG-13 – which should surprise no one. If Sony was going to pursue the R-rating for the anti-hero, they would have announced it when the film was being shot, the same way Deadpool did during production. Even though some held out hope we’d get a super violent and dark Venom movie for adults, I never believed that was happening for two reasons: Spider-Man and Marvel.

Honestly. Not planning to see this now that it’s pg 13. What the fuck is the point?
-
Tom Hardy does indeed rock. He’s my favorite actor. But, Venom isn’t and shouldn’t be a PG 13 character. Especially when this is a solo film and doesn’t involve Spiderman at all.
-
venom doesnt “need” an R imo
-
I completely disagree. A solo Venom film needs to be R. Now, if we’re talking about a Spiderman movie where he’s the villain then sure. But this is a solo film. This had to be R just like Deadpool has to be R.

….why?
-
Why? He’s a man eating alien who’s favorite food is brain. What do you mean why? A PG 13 version if not forced on by Spiderman makes no sense. His entire character and powers scream R.

hmm I dont personally think he is quite as ultra violent and adult oriented as some people seem to think. Most comics taht don’t have an explicit adult rating do not, in my opinion, “need” and R rated adaptation. Could they benefit from one? Absolutely. Some more than others though. However, I do think you could tell a perfectly serviceable Venom story without being really bloody and stuff. Honestly the rating is not my concern with this film personally.

Again. Just because you can maybe pull something off in PG 13 doesn’t mean you should. Deadpool is a pg 13 character in the comics. At least when it comes to cursing etc. He’s far better suited to an R rating. Same goes for Venom. He can be done with a PG13 rating. Making him far more tame and vanilla version of Venom. That’s a version I do not want to see. It doesn’t interest me.

He focuses on the finger pointing at the moon missing all that heavenly glory.
They confirmed it would be R when they started shooting. And Hardy confirmed it as well. A shame the studio changed it.
Cucked again!
Good, I think if it was R it would be way to grotesque. I will never watch deadpool, I cannot stand that level of violence coming from even a “anti-hero”.
