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.
Featured reviews
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.
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.
Just watched it on streaming and compared with so many other action movies it definitely holds own.
I've played the tomb raider games for years and I don't see any problem with the way this movie portrayed a young Lara Croft.
I've seen reviews on here saying poor CGI, poor fighting etc.. What were those people watching? The oceans have been rendered probably with more skill than I have seen in any movie.
The tomb sequence wasn't exceedingly drawn out as in the games so for me that was a bonus.
I liked it, but then what do I know. My favourite movie is Joe vs the Volcano and I also loved John Carter....

Given the poor ratings I had low expectations for this movie but it was surprisingly very entertaining. I wouldn't compare it to the Original movies with Angelina Jolie as it was just a different movie experience. I am still a fan of Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft but the Alicia Vikander version works too.

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).
