To be fair, Warner Bros have been on an "R" rating kick lately. Joker, Birds of Prey and Suicide Squad 2 will all be rated R...so there is a chance this film could be as well. I mean the games are rated "M" in the states, so it's not like they'd be moving away from the source material. Maybe they got Ben and Amy interested in doing the project because they are allowed to go a little darker. She's working with him on his "Rebecca" adaptation/remake....so it's entirely possible!

Problem with R rating is there’s absolutely nothing mature about Tomb Raider unless they add gratuitous violence but that won’t do much for the story like it doesn’t help Resident Evil or the Inderworld movies . Nothing about her as a character study contains R rated content like The Joker and his mental health etc

He’s not really an awards director like Roar so I think this will be a **** it bat**** crazy film which can work out if made well but I don’t think it will be as nuanced as 2018 which is a shame because I like how seriously they took the character. I think this will be much more pulpier which is why I’m fearful of the worst case scenario of it playing like an Underworld movie.

I didn’t find the 2018 film to be nuanced at all.

I really liked the “reflections” after the action sequences - I think it brought a lot of humanity to the character and it’s rare to see that in action movies at all and reviewers did praise those moments. Lara catching her breath after the parachute or the moment of reflection after she drowned that guy in the swamp. That’s nuance. Last edited by GeekOfComedy; 06-09-19 at 13:22. |

I do hope we get some nice creature effects in this and they will involved some sort of supernatural element. When you see what It Chapter two was able to do with its CGI on a 70M budget we can see how it could stretch well under the right hands.

But regardless, I think in order for this movie to really take off and do better than the last one, we need to see it go big, and supernatural creatures or dinosaurs with some dual pistol action would be a great way to do that. The end of the first movie was such a tease, give the people what they want now |
