Brits Order Tomb Raider Cuts

British censors have ordered scenes of head butts and throat chops cut from the U.K. version of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider to let it be seen by younger viewers, the BBC reported. The British Board of Film Classification demanded that producers cut violent scenes or settle for a 15 certificate, which would exclude viewers under the age of 15. The cuts mean those over the ages of 12 can now see the film, the BBC reported.

Tomb Raider, starring Angelina Jolie and based on the Eidos video-game series of the same name, opens in the United Kingdom on July 6.

i didn't know that...
i just watched it yesterday.
i wonder which bits they cut them from.
(by the way i live in the uk)

has anyone else seen the film?
i enjoyed it myself.
it was good fun.
(might have something to do with the fact
i didn't have to pay for it)

I live in the US and I saw Tomb Raider...I didn't think there was anything bad...hm...I think the censors just get out of hand sometimes. Angelina Jolie is really cool though. I admit, I wouldn't have been interested in the movie at all if she wasn't in it :rain:

 

[wikiberry]

did you see gone in sixty seconds?
she was cool there too.

 

[Curupira]

[wikiberry]

Tomb Raider

this was the worst, bad, awful, @#*&% movie i have ever seen.
all angelina jolie did was walk around like a truck driver pointing her chest out. i love the game but this was ridiculous.

 

[rde]

For inane movies like Tomb Raider, I've a very high theshold; even so, it managed to annoy me. Mostly for the ludicrous attempts at distracting you from the fact that she didn't shoot anybody.

If she'd just walked around with her chest out, I'd've been happy. But they tried to make it an action movie.

Ah well. At least it wasn't as bad as Armageddon.

 

[angelle myst]

1st, lol, pls dont compare Armageddon to this pile of cr*p, its a decent film, and 2nd, i wish i'd never gone to see Tomb Raider, the ending sucked, and there absolutely no spark or chemistry between any of the characters. Blech

:fangs:xxx:smokin:

Found this review and couldn't put it better:-

Angelina Jolie (Lara Croft) visits prize archeological finds and does more damage to them than a bulldozer driven by Billy Bob.

Just watched the Tomb Raider sequel:dead:

If you thought the first was bad, you'll love this one!

The highlight for red blooded male hormones is probably the Croft wet suit. Otherwise it is definitely the arcade game and plot, but lacking the intelligence: Shoot anything that moves, bit of bouncing about, shoot anything that is moving then surprise a bit more bouncing about.

And yes the games cartoon figure is more realistic, gravity defying bussom not withstanding.
