I'm only talking about the first movie.
I really can't wrap my mind around the rating. There was little to no blood. If there was blood, I sure as hell can't remember seeing it. I can remember seeing blood in Disney's Gargoyles, an after school cartoon, but I can't remember blood in the R rated The Matrix. Not a single fuck was uttered in the movie. I've seen PG movies that have said fuck (though to be fair, I don't remember the movie it was in). And as for sex... ummm... Trinity kisses Neo? Yay? I guess he was naked when he woke up from the pod... but I've seen more nudity in PG rated old school dinosaur movies like When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth. I mean... there Kung Fu action and guns, but it's some of the tamest shit I've ever seen. The Jacky Chan stunts look more violent than anything in The Matrix.
The movie came out in 1999, it might as well be rated G if it wasn't for them saying "shit" a few times.
How did this movie get an R rating?
