Censors in Malaysia have determined that Marvel adaptation Daredevil
is not suitable for movie audiences due to its violent content and other
"unhealthy elements," the Reuters news service reported. Malaysia's
Deputy Home Minister Chor Chee Heung told the news service that, "Most
of the time, censorship is adequate if only some portions of the film
require censorship, but if too much censorship is required, making the
film meaningless, it is best banned."
The film's distributor, Twentieth Century Fox, has appealed to the Censorship
Board for a review of the decision, Reuters said.
