    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.

    Different Experience to Original Tomb Raider

    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.

    I liked it! Surprised by the low score.

    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.

    Enjoyable movie and loving the new Lara Croft!

    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!

    Visually compelling, bad writing

    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.

    Why the low scores?

    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....

    • Trivia
      Alicia 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.
    • Goofs
      While 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.

    • Crazy credits
      SPOILER: 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).
