Apparently rated PG-13 for "extended sequences of intense fantasy action violence, and frightening images."

According to Collider (very trustworthy source): https://twitter.com/...s/273894301304512512
I'm happy with this decision

I never got the argument by some that The Hobbit warrants just a PG rating. The book is PG13 at the least with decapitations, brutal deaths of main characters and BOFA of course.
The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.

That's basically what all of LOTR were rated for.

enough action for teens and just people who like action in general but mild enough so its not stopping anyone from going if they want/parents will take them.
basically the best rating to make loads of money.

... are Lily-livered whippersnappers! When I was a kid, our school made us watch the most frightening and disturbing film in history. Never did me no harm - apart from the vague sense of dread I've carried with me ever since.. and the years of therapy.... and I have to watch the news with my eyes shut. So I'm sure the little blighters can manage to watch The Hobbit without having nightmares. Anyway, nightmares are good for a growing mind.
The rating system is a bit silly anyway - as there's no knowing what will scare a child - my sister had a morbid fear of moths, and I'm terrified of ice lollies and spiders. A spider eating an ice lolly is in my Room 101.

between being frightened and being disturbed. I'm scared of spiders, but I can sit through the scenes with Shelob (with much cringing) whereas I cannot stand movies (or books) where things and people are blowing up. I hate explosions. I find them disturbing, and they don't help me in the least. Whereas frightening things can sometimes be fun. For instance, in one of the Christopher Lee Dracula movies, he's wearing a terrifying expression with blood leaking out of his mouth. It was frightening (to me) and gave me that feeling of "Ohmigosh! Aaaahhhh!" but afterward I felt a feeling of warmth, because the fright actually relieved some stress. Explosions just cause me stress and disturb me.
Spiders, terrifying monsters/villains, blood pouring from mouths scares me, but doesn't disturb me. Explosions disturb me.

I certainly disagree with that.

as for explosions i love watching them. But it does depend on the film for me. Something like Expendables where there is an explosion every 2 seconds, is meant to be an action comedy so its not meant to be taken as something serious. Other films they build up to them and the explosions have more impact.
For me im not that scared about anything in particular, i know the shinning scared me when i was younger - there is a feeling of dread in that movie that i dont think has been done again.
The scariest thing that ever happened to me was when i was so sleep deprived i hallucinated - i will never forget it for as long as i live.

It's the feeling of the wooden stick against my teeth/tongue - it's a fingernails on blackboard type thing, and even looking at or thinking about a lolly causes me to experience the physical sensation. With spiders, it's them getting where they shouldn't - running up your sleeve or getting in your mouth that does it. Shelob was fine, as she was so big there was no way she could accidentally get in my boot, or down my collar - so I should be OK watching the big ones in The Hobbit!

are good in moderation. They reflect the mind's attempt to process anxiety about the world. A child who has no anxiety about the world has clearly not being paying attention. As we're discussing The Hobbit, Bilbo's anxiety about the world is one of the book's features - it makes him more cautious, less complacent, less foolish and less likely to be swayed by other emotions - greed, pride etc. In fact, isn't it a nightmare that Bilbo has when trying to sleep in the cave, that wakes him up and enables him to alert Gandalf to the goblin attack just in time?

And definitely make the person more anxious about sleeping. And of course, if one does not wish to sleep, they'll try to avoid it and become sleep deprived.
So no, I'd say they are not good.

I have to say I was a bit irritated when yesterday one of the actors (Azog or Bolg, I don't remember) brought his little girl. I am not good with ages, but she couldn't have been more than 5 years old, and he said "well, it is a children's book", and I just assumed she must have been way too small to not be scared, with the stone giants and the wargs especially.

I was worried that if tonally the hobbit is different to LOTR, that they would also tone down the violence.(Well, they have) but not to the point of non existant.I'd say we'll still get to see decapitating heads as long as it is only from the orcs, which i can live with.Although, i hope to see limbs cut off and blood shown on clothing.
We are more connected than ever before, more able to spread our ideas and beliefs, our anger and fears. As we exercise the right to advocate our views, and as we animate our supporters, we must all assume responsibility for our words and actions before they enter a vast echo chamber and reach those both serious and delirious, connected and unhinged.
