I must be one of the few that thought AVP2 was perfectly lit and apart from a few scenes that where meant to be extremely dark was perfectly done (in terms of lighting). Though I accept i'm in the minority here. The film though does have aliens killing babies, facehuggers attaching to young kids, people bieng suddenly and bloodily pinned to a wall, a mans facing bieng burnt off and as far as I can tell is in American rating a hard R. (In Australia it only got an MA).

You don't know that. Maybe this was the intended cut by the director and it wasn't cut down to get a pg13 rating. I also think the lack of success in America for AVP2 will lead to more R rated franchises bieng forced down to pg13, as they gave the fan base of a sucesfull series what they wanted and earned significantly less as a result.


An interesting side note, in Australia all the Terminator films have been rated M (which is the closest equivelant to pg-13 in America). Aliens was rated M (the first, third and forth where MA). Ratings are for all intensive purposes arbitrary. Some of my favourite films are only rated pg (such as the fifth element), and trhe fifth element certanly had it fair shar of violence and gore [albiet often alien blood and guts]).
