In what way do you mean? If you mean they've done quite well in surviving all the criticism and being a watchdog institution, I completely agree.
If you mean they've done a good job, I'm not so sure. The rating system doesn't hurt quite as much now that DVDs are prominent. Studios can easily cut whatever they want, and then just throw all additional footage on the "Unrated Directors Cut" It's gotten to the point where it's almost a scam. However, that doesn't mean that some movies don't suffer from the original artistic vision being skewed.
