Transformers Rating – 12A
Good news UK fans, the BBFC have given the Transformers movie a 12A rating with NO cuts. This is good news as there had been some concern that some scenes may have been cut to get this rating (instead of a 15) as the film was originally given an R rating in North America.
The film is 143 minutes and 15 seconds long (2 hours and 23 minutes). This is slightly longer than has been quoted by other sources.
The film “Contains moderate action violence”, which is a good thing.
We’ll have more news from the UK Press screening on Friday.
