As this is a 12 does this mean it will be cut? The UK release is a 15
I think it more likely that the difference in age ratings for the UK and German releases is due to the current censors at the BBFC with their patronizing 'we know what's best for you' attitude, as evidenced by the cut releases in the UK of "Hercules", "The Equalizer", "The Maze Runner" and "Kingsman: The Secret Service". Even "Paddington", of all titles, was classified in the UK as PG instead of U.
Put it down to the 'Nanny State' philosophy that seems to prevail here.

Or studios asking what they need to cut to achieve a lower age rating and therefore more sales...
