ComicBookMovie.com, citing Power Rangers Now.

The Power Rangers film has been rated PG-13. The rating was confirmed during the recent CES expo in Las Vegas [via Power Rangers Now].
PRN got their information from CES in Las Vegas where Power Rangers had quite the presence with both the Red Ranger's suit on display and a VR app showing off the Zords, holographic images of the Ranger suits, Alpha 5 in action and a brief shot of Bryan Cranston as Zordon against one of the cave walls.
Here's PRN's quote
:
Quote:
The rating was confirmed during Qualcomm’s presentation at the Consumer Electronics Show, where a trailer for the Power Rangers Virtual Reality Experience debuted.
(Cranston's seen the film, btw, gave it high praise.)
Quote:
Cranston has high hopes for after having seen much of it. Cranston told the TCA he believes “this movie is actually gonna be a big deal. I’ve seen a lot of it, because I’m doing ADR on it. And it’s impressive. Dean Israelite really has a nice touch. As big and as powerful as Power Rangers could be, he has a nice touch to keep it grounded, and real. I think it’s gonna turn some heads, I really do.”
This isn’t the first time Cranston effused over the project: back in July, he said Israelite’s reboot was on par with Christopher Nolan’s reimagining of Batman.

More and more PG-13 films have blood and gore these days. It's a different world from when all of that started.
G, it was the tamest of them all, still is.
PG, it was pushing boundaries even after the invention of PG-13 in 1984. (Example: Beetlejuice saying "Fuckin' " and of course, Tom Hanks's BIG.)
PG-13 was edgier, but was no R.
R was edgy and pushed boundaries and helped usher in NC-17, which wasn't always about sexual content. The Evil Dead would've been NC-17 if it had been released during that time. The unrated director's cut of Robocop would've been NC-17. (Murphy's execution is incredibly brutal compared to the R cut.)
PG pushes no boundaries, but it does force the filmmakers to produce quality material to get people to the theater to pay for a PG film these days. (Disney's and Kenneth Brannagh's live action remake of Cinderella comes to mind. Heck, even Disney's Enchanted proved the concept of quality PG entertainment a decade ago.)
PG-13 has become the R of yesteryear, starting in the mid to late 90s. You can have three uses of "Fuck" before it becomes an R, regardless of the other content in the film. You can have a steady stream of violence, especially sci-fi and bloody. Heck, one of the Predator films was PG-13 and pulled off a chestburster if I remember correctly.
R is now reserved for ribald entertainment such as Deadpool and artsy films that have a penchant for being unflinching in their honesty and dark materials. It's kind of watered down over the years. (Heck, I've seen worse TV-14/TV-MA material that makes R look a bit timid these days.)
NC-17 is now reserved for ultra violence (and I do mean ultra) as well as nearly XXX rated sexual content. (Nymphomaniac Volumes I and II, for example.)
I'm not the least bit surprised PR is getting a PG-13 rating, it's pretty much the sweet spot for movies these days.
