Great movie but I'm confused why it was ever rated R in the first place. There were some disturbing scenes but there wasn't any nudity or that much swearing, or even blood. It's the most PG-13 R-rated movie I ever watched.

No nudity, no blood, no cursing? In a Greco-Roman classic?! What the actual. 🤦🏼‍♂️

There is blood and cursing but it's nothing too extreme to make it R-rated.

I think you see some man butt for a brief moment on Man Pig Island.

It is R rated? That's crazy. In Germany they're often pretty harsh with age ratings but The Odyssey is FSK12 (there are fsk0, 6, 12, 16 and 18), so you can watch it alone if you're 12+ or with parents if you're below 12.

No kidding the ONLY reason I could think rated R because it says fuck twice.

I'm equally confused. My best guess would be the giant munching on guys, but that still seems PG-13.

Same, it was very mild, camera panned away from throat cutting and other violent acts.

Now compare this to also R rated Obsession, where we see a woman’s head bashed with a brick 20+ times until it’s a mush, plus sexual assaault scene, nude corpse, etc.

Yeah this was a til its R rated.

Good movie but I had zero clue after watching it, that it was considered R rated.

I was going to say "what's woke about stoic no character flaw man #WesternValues #NoGaysInGreece" but then I remembered there was a black person.

I never understood the stupid slogan go woke go broke because media that are "woke" usually end up being financially successful.
