Have you ever wondered what those little letters and numbers at the start of a movie really mean? Whether it's a PG-13 blockbuster or an R-rated thriller, the film rating system plays a big role in shaping our viewing experience. Watching movies can be very good for you, and it’s always helpful to know exactly what rating a film has so that anyone can understand who the film was exactly made for.

But who decides what’s too intense for kids or acceptable for teens? Every country has their own way of doing it, but the United States is probably the most prolific, since they churn out the most number of blockbusters in the world. Curious? Click through this gallery to see what goes on behind the silver screen and how movies are reviewed before we see them.
