Of course, that movie had much, MUCH bigger problems than its rating. (Who knows? Maybe their insistence on a PG rating dragged the rest of the movie down to how bad it ended up being.)
...Man, that movie really blew chunks.

People were going to go see Transformers to see, well, TRANSFORMERS. It doesn't need sexual jokes, it doesn't need Megan Fox stripping, it doesn't need ANY of that, it needs robots fighting and that's it. There was zero reason to make it more "mature," the nerd factor and the kid factor was going to be more than enough to make the movie a success. He only did it because he's Michael effin' Bay and that's how he rolls. :|

Now I myself didn't see either Transformers or the new Transformers 2, but from what I've heard from my friends, all it is is Megan Fox looking good and explosions. Neither or which are what Transformers should be.
Now on the actual topic, I agree that some PG13 content is inappropriate to some children who are the age of 13. It depends on the movie. I cannot say that all PG13 movies have inappropriate content because that's not true. Some of them do. Maybe even most. However, some movies that are rated PG13 are safe. I personally wouldn't even begin to believe the rating it received (PG, PG13, R, etc etc). I would rate them on my own "ratings". Ratings being what the content is and if I find it inappropriate.
I've read the majority of posts on this thread, and I don't believe this has been said. We also have to remember that even PG movies have gotten to the point that some of them are inappropriate to 13 year olds. By inappropriate, I don't mean things such as the dreaded Harry Potter with all of it's with-craft. I mean the PG movies that have sexual jokes and are not entirely aimed at a younger audience like they should be. Now, I can't think of any off the top of my head, but I know there are some.
All in all, I wouldn't tell my child they are able to go see a movie without first viewing it first and giving it my own age rating that's based off my child's age, maturity, content of the movie, and so on.

(I mean, are you in kindergarten? Will people be more impressed with your movie the cruder its language? Give me a break and stop packing the script with language like that FOR NO REASON)
I mean, if I could take a stab at directing Transformers, I'd portray Sam's girlfriend as a pretty, intelligent girl who's pressured by society to be "hot", who's bullemic and who almost commits suicide because she feels her whole purpose is to be "just a hole".

I mean, it was worse obviously because MB discovered America loved (for what ever reason) Megan Fox, but there were way worse things about the movie.

And I don't see how anyone could not notice John Turturro's forty-foot wide hairy rear-end in a thong on the screen in Transformers 2. There is literally no way to miss that, so I find your claim that you only notice it if you look for it a bit off. :p

Probably so that he can rake in some viewers.), explosions(transformers 2 is a clear example), and more special effects like explosions.
