Here are some snippets (all PG-13 movies):

Green Lantern:

We demand one chaste kiss between hero and heroine, but no funny stuff.

Captain America:

Young Steve's Army confidante both before and after his transformation is the sultry Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), whose full red lips make her resemble a classic military pin-up of the period. ... they grow close, but only PG-13 close, because Marvel has apparently determined that fanboys find sex to be icky.

Rise of the Apes:

Whether she becomes Will's surrogate wife is an excellent question; the movie displays the usual PG-13 shyness about intimate details;

And a bit of a stretch: X-Men: First Class

At least all the X-Men are old enough to see an R-rated movie without adult supervision. Not that "X-Men" is R-rated; god forbid that a comic-book movie should turn away a single eager ticket-buyer.

Winner winner, chicken dinner.

And those are all of the reviews I read today. I stopped reading Ebert years ago, but what's happened to the man? He seems to be very upset that PG-13 ratings are standing between him and seeing famous boobs.

I think it's partly the annoyance of the obligatory chaste romance in these films, not that the romance itself is chaste.

Really? I don't see that at all. Perhaps in the case of Green Lantern, but not the others. He seems to be upset that these films don't have sex scenes. Enough to keep calling it out in his reviews.

He blames Marvel in the case of Cap. Then he blames PG-13 in the case of Apes. I know what I was expecting when I went to go see Rise of the Apes: Full frontal nudity. And more "intimate details" between the scientist who accidentally created an untelligent breed of ape and his wife. And maybe some apes. You know... rising. If there's time left after all of the "intimate details" are laid out. *wink wink*
