Tomb Raider

After seeing the others, I was happily surprised about this Tomb Raider. It had more the game feeling, not everyone in the world did speak English, and you have more story and background what makes it entertaining, so I gave it a star extra. Some things feel a bit weird, but you can easily overlook them and just watch the movie. Enjoy.

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.

Overall this is your average action movie.

But, Alicia Vikander on the other hand is an amazing action star; what a revelation! I love it when Hollywood casts an actor like Alicia in an action role who has the physique/physicality, can believably pull off the action role and perform parts or most of the stunts like running/fighting which results in seamless action scenes between star and stunt double so there's no need for shaky cam or SFX (unlike scarlet johanssen's lame natasha romanoff/BW). Also some of the action sequences are very much like in the video game.

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.

Really bizarre casting for the role of Lara Croft which was a massive downgrade from Angelina Jolie to the bland, blank faced, waif-like Alicia Vikander combined with a tedious story, horrible direction, crappy action sequences ... Avoid this movie if you can.
