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.
James Bond is back and saving the world from a Rupert
Murdoch-like media mogul.
SEX/NUDITY 3 - Scantily clad women, sexual innuendo (including an oral sex
reference). Lots of kissing. A couple kiss in bed while clad in sheets. A woman appears to
be naked and seems to have been interrupted during sex although nothing is seen.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - Lots of explosions, reckless driving and flying, lots of
threatening with guns. A man is nearly strangled and a man is ejected from a plane.
Someone's foot is nearly crushed. Many people are machine gunned and otherwise shot to
death throughout the film -- but without blood. Men fall through glass. Choking, near
drownings and floating corpses. A man falls into a printing press which results in bloody
paper. Some men are shocked. A man is shot in the head by another (not really seen). A man
is harpooned. Someone is stabbed in the mouth (some blood). A man is drilled to death (not
really seen). A man is stabbed in the arm and chest (some blood). Lots of face punches,
face slaps, lots of falls and chases (usually being shot at the same time). Lots of fights
with punches, kicks, being hit with objects and being thrown around; usually the fights
are unfair (many against one or few). Lots of martial arts fighting with kicks, twirls and
punches.

PROFANITY 3 - Many mild obscenities and an anatomical reference. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Terrorism, the media and media barons, super sleuths.
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.
