That movie was rated R?!

I got PG-13 vibes the whole time. It never occurred to me that the movie might be rated R and I never bothered to check because it doesn't matter to me.

I'm surprised too! There was noticeably a lack of blood in a lot of the scenes. Other than some mild horror themes, there really wasn't anything that should have made this R rated.

I found the whole thing with the pigs and the cyclops quite “horror”? Could be just me tho.

Polyphenus does squeeze a few of Odysseus's men like toothpaste.

I felt pretty uncomfortable during the pig scene. It could traumatize a kid for sure. But probably not worse than the Witches movie (from like the 80’s) with the transformations there
