Review: Tomb Raider

· Score: 1
I had the joy of seeing this at the drive in and believe it or not, my date suggested seeing this movie. Now, did i go in expecting some colossal story brimming with realism? NO! did I expect a film based on a video game to be cinematic mastery? NO! Did I expect to see lots of stuff get blown up and see A.J. kick some bad guy azz? Hell yeah! Get a life Taco, PLEEEEZE! I love sitting in theatres watching fiction and hearing some dolt behind me complain about realism and such. umm its a movie? duh, its fiction? you know? FICTION??????? TR was fun, loud, sexy, and had a great soundtrack and kept my short attention span locked in. Go watch a National Geographic special if you want reality. Go watch TR if you wanna soften yer melon for a couple hours and have some fun. Bite me!
I find the way this pans out always quite amusing.
I mean, making money off of your kids death is quite popular these days. Look at the Goldman kid who died in the OJ Simpson fiasco. His dad goes on to get a talkshow, tons of media coverage, and a pretty lucrative career out of it.
Im a 32 year old father, I grew up with the video game, heavy metal, porn, the whole multimedia circus and a general disdain for anyone over 40.
I watch what my kids are consuming. My daughters dont see violent cartoons, because i am interested enough as a parent to care what they see and experience. they dont play with guns as toys, or swords or any other tool of violence, because I chose to not expose them to that. I have played video games my entire teen to adult life. many violent, many quite disturbing, I have a great porn collection, and am I a violent sociopath or objectifier of women or rapist? No.
Have i thought of wiping out my enemies from time to time? hell yeah!!!! but would I? of course not.
I dont agree with everything that the media does but it is not reasonable to think that they should be censored. that is my job as a parent to do.
and I do it. maybe the rest of the world should try it as well and i guarantee you wont have the problems that you have today if we just take a look in our kids closets and more importantly their hearts to see if they are hurting from something.
