Summary
Reviewers say 'Tomb Raider' offers a commendable performance by Alicia Vikander, praised for her strong portrayal and resemblance to Lara Croft. The film's action sequences and visual effects are lauded, aligning well with the rebooted game series. However, the script faces criticism for clunky dialogue and exposition, with some finding the story predictable. Pacing and character development receive mixed reviews, though many see it as an improvement over prior adaptations.

3/18/18. Saw this on the big screen today and it was worth it. A nicely done action/adventure movie that will remind you a little bit of Indiana Jones. Vikander is great as Lara Croft, who decides to look for her missing father, and ends up fighting for her life. Great action sequences with a decent story line. Supporting cast was very good. Worth catching.
I watched the movie last night and really liked it.
I've never played any of the tomb raider games so I just look at it as any other action movie and think this was a very okay movie.
I watched a long time ago Angelina Jolie as Tomb Raider and never liked it because they just go overboard with the whole female big ass and big boobs.
This movie shows a whole other side of Lara Croft and I personally like it much better. It's not set up like your typical one man hero movie and I hope we see more of her in future Tomb Raider movies!

Not sure what everyone was expecting or why even compare this to the first film or even the game. This was more of a prequel to the first film and it was really well done! Alicia Vikander was great in her role. A well deserved 8/10 from me.
The plot was extremely predictable and the dialog was weak, however Alicia Vikander's physical performance was amazing and there were a few standout moments of cinematography.
For what it's worth, I enjoyed Vikander as Lara Croft. Not every movie needs to be innovative and thought provoking. Tomb Raider succeeds at being a a popcorn, intense adventure flick. It did feel more like Uncharted than Tomb Raider, IMHO.
Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlicia Vikander put on a lot of muscle to play Lara, as she wanted the character to be as realistic as possible, and so she could do some of her own stunts.
- GoofsWhile trying to save the "lifeboat" (an Inflatable dingy), they completely ignore the other lifeboat, which is what the white cylinder above Lara's head actually is.
- Quotes
Lord Richard Croft: All myths are foundations of reality.
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: The title doesn't appear on screen until the end of the film. Following this is a brief scene of Lara returning to the pawn shop where she sold her pendant earlier in the film. She then purchases two guns, implying she will continue the fight in sequel films (a brief clip of this scene appeared in the first trailer for the movie).
