This is done on camera and blood is seen on the blade but very little of her wound is actually shown. A man suddenly grabs Lara creating a jump-scare in a dark, suspenseful scene. This leads to a fight where Lara accidentally kills the man. She is clearly upset by this but is forced to move on quickly.
When Lara and several others enter the tomb of Himiko, several booby traps hinder their progress. After a rumbling sound is heard, a man laughs at another for being afraid before suddenly being impaled on a large spike which instantly kills him. The spike then retracts, causing the man to collapse to the floor. When a tomb is opened, the eyes of the decayed body suddenly turn black, giving the appearance that it has opened them, however this has actually happened due to the air hitting it and the body disintegrating.
This body also sits upright suddenly when characters try to move it but again this is shown to not be a supernatural occurrence. It reaches his face, making it swell and look grotesque as he gags and splutters. This lasts for a couple of minutes and could be frightening for some kids. Due to numerous intense scenes which are likely to be scary for young kids, we recommend this movie for kids aged 8 and over.

Is This Movie Suitable? That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis.
You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update. The movie's main argument seems to be that it's better to sacrifice a few to save a great many at least concerning the "treasure" that everyone is after. Characters do also persevere against challenging odds.
Lara is certainly a strong, determined woman who perseveres, but her main attribute is her stubbornness, which rarely takes her in the right direction. She seems heavily influenced by others, rather than truly independent.
She kills bad guys with no repercussions and no remorse. Lots of guns and shooting. Characters hit with arrows. Fighting, punching. Beating with a shovel. Rifle butt to the head. Kick in the face. Lara takes punishing falls and fights and is punched by men. She often cries in pain. Splinter of wood through stomach. Stabbing with spikes.
Bloody wounds shown. Bicycle crashes. Lots of skeletons. Lara wears a tight tank top throughout, though she's not as sexualized here as in previous incarnations.
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. The violence is largely bloodless but very intense, with lots of guns and shooting, arrows, fighting, beating, bludgeoning, stabbings, crashes, and explosions.
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. Lara wears a tight tank top throughout paralleling the games , but otherwise sex isn't an issue. Language includes a few uses of "s--t" and a couple of cut-off uses of "f--k. The movie is very noisy and, alas, not much fun, though it does stress the value of sacrifice and perseverance. Add your rating See all 30 parent reviews.

But she refuses to believe that he's gone. She finds a clue to his papers and records and decides to follow his trail to an obscure island off the coast of Japan.
Lara hires a boat and captain Daniel Wu in Hong Kong, but they crash on the rocks. On the island, they discover the evil Mathias Vogel Walton Goggins , who's searching for a source of great power and claims to have killed Lara's father.
Before long, the tomb of the ancient Queen Himiko is found, but is the secret within worth finding? 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. And it even adds some new ones. Based on the hit video game series , all three of the Tomb Raider movies including this one, 's Lara Croft: Tomb Raider , and '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.
Scenes that are supposed to be exciting are more like an avalanche of noise and effects, with very little room to breathe. Most of all, Tomb Raider forgets to be fun. Perhaps even worse, while the first two movies lacked character development, the new film -- based loosely on the game -- has too much, so much that Lara's personality is buried.
Her every motivation seems to be due to her father or other, mostly male, characters. 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. There are precious few moments in which she stands up for herself or makes a choice for herself. Even finding the treasure isn't her idea. 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.
Older viewers might find the movie fun. Lara is a strong female action hero who shows exceptional, superhuman-like physical strength and endurance. Tomb Raider does significantly glamorise violence and the use of weapons, however, and there are many scenes that are likely to disturb younger viewers.
The main messages from Tomb Raider are to bravely follow your instincts and to make decisions for the good of humanity, rather than for personal gain. Values in Tomb Raider that you could reinforce with your children include bravery, independence and physical strength. Skip to content Skip to navigation.
