Rating: R-America 15-Uk. Lot of controversy over rating of the film as it is an x men movie and a marvel movie. They were anxious because marvels primary audience before was family and an R rated movie would restrict the amount of money they would make from it.

          Tj miller, not a big star was in transformers 4.
