It's a shame that a franchise that was originally inspired by Indiana Jones - and could have given us a great female action hero - seems to have forgotten all the cool things that make adventuring worthwhile.The newly re-booted and freshly grounded Tomb Raider from Warner Bros. Even finding the treasure isn't her idea.
There are precious few moments in which she stands up for herself or makes a choice for herself.

And she's not even as cocky or confident as Angelina Jolie was she spends most of the movie screaming, crying in pain, or running away. Her every motivation seems to be due to her father or other, mostly male, characters. Perhaps even worse, while the first two movies lacked character development, the new film - based loosely on the 2013 game - has too much, so much that Lara's personality is buried.
Most of all, Tomb Raider forgets to be fun. Scenes that are supposed to be exciting are more like an avalanche of noise and effects, with very little room to breathe. Based on the hit video game series, all three of the Tomb Raider movies (including this one, 2001's Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, and 2003's Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life), are loud and relentless, with the action more like a thick bludgeon than a thing of swiftness or beauty. It would be great to finally see a good Lara Croft movie, but - despite an appealing new star - this Tomb Raider reboot repeats the last two movies' problems. Overall I think that an mature 10 yr old or 11 yr old can watch this with ease, (Provided that you skip that scene) Thankfully the sexual and violence was toned down in this movie unlike its predecessors, ( limited to shooting arrows and then the camera instantly switches to the protagonist). The thing that I disagree with common sense media review is that they say she knocks out people with no remorse, I completely disagree due to the fact the the protagonist literally crys on screen for an minute! Language is not an problem just a few uses of the s word and some uses of g-d. If you skip that scene then I would think an mature 10 yr old or 11 yr old could watch this (If you skip that scene). dies, the scene I explained to you is what I think what made this expert review 14+. Fortunately there was not that much graphic violence most of it was clean except 1 scene that if we were home watching it I would have wanted to skip, one of them was when lara and the antagonist crew were in the tomb trying to solve the puzzle when one of the crew touches a skeleton and then his hand starts turning black and then it goes all around his body and it kinda looks like he is an alien then he screams and falls to the ground and well. So I said to him that whatever I say if the movie gets to violent then James (My son) must go to his mother otherwise it will be a waste of a ticket. Then it should be fine, it has the same violence and actually less language then the latest Indiana Jones, when me and my son went to the theaters to go watch this movie I was not to sure if I would be okay with this movie because it looked quite intense and was very hopeful that it did not have spirits like the old Indiana Jones movies, (which I only allowed him to watch the latest one which was still quite intense). The best movie ever, if your kids have seen Indiana jones (the latest one)

The movie is very noisy and, alas, not much fun, though it does stress the value of sacrifice and perseverance. Language includes a few uses of "s-t" and a couple of cut-off uses of "f-k." A secondary character is said to be drunk and later nurses a hangover. Lara wears a tight tank top throughout (paralleling the games), but otherwise sex isn't an issue. Lara Croft ( Alicia Vikander) takes a lot of physical punishment, often crying out in pain or terror she also kills people with no repercussion or remorse. The violence is largely bloodless but very intense, with lots of guns and shooting, arrows, fighting, beating, bludgeoning, stabbings, crashes, and explosions. Parents need to know that Tomb Raider is a reboot of the video game-based Lara Croft action series, which also inspired two previous movies.
