ASSIGNED NUMBERS |

Unlike the MPAA we do not assign one inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest, depending on quantity and context. |

Damon Wayans stars as Blankman, a mysterious superhero,
complete with a sidekick called The Other Guy.
SEX/NUDITY 3 - There is no nudity, but there is quite a bit of implied sex.
A man is shown very visibly aroused after kissing a woman; and he is shown convulsing
wildly and making a lot of noise.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - Although the film is a lighthearted look at comic-book
superheroes, it does include some violence, but with little blood and no real gore. Two
men are shown beating up another. An elderly woman is shot to death by gangsters (we only
see a gangster firing a gun). A bank is blown up with a man inside. There are a couple of
fight scenes between the good guys and the bad guys accompanied, by comic POWs and THUDs.
A man is shot in the shoulder and some blood is visible.
PROFANITY 3 - A handful of scatological references, and a few milder
profanities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Vigilantism.
MESSAGE - Every person has the potential to change things for the better;
you don't need super-human strength to make a difference.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
