Review by iana ★★★½ 1

i guess this is an iteration of tomb raider that takes itself more seriously — but in a way, it also doesn’t and that’s what i kinda love about it. there are cheesy one-liners, lara kicks a guy in the balls, there’s a nick frost cameo, for god’s sake. because of that, it reminded me of the silly adventure movies i adored as a kid like the mummy and national treasure. it’s nice that little girls have another action hero to look up to.

I don’t care how many times it’s been said or how many times you’ve had to hear it and I don’t care about the pathetic male “critics” who think lara’s breast size or their personal level of attraction to alicia vikander affects quite literally anything about this movie’s quality I LOVE BADASS WOMEN CHARACTERS and I feel SO blessed to be seeing them become more and more celebrated as I’m growing older and we can reboot everything and anything for all I care if it means we get more sick films like this that just make you feel COOL and on edge and scared and sad and happy and cheerful and fearful and most of all POWERFUL!! Woohooooo!!!!!!!

Review by matt lynch ★★★ 3

This is perfectly serviceable. In fact if someone told you it came out in the late 90's you might buy it. And it has as much running and jumping as any game except you're not pressing X all the time, which believe it or not actually makes a difference. Turning this into LARA CROFT BEGINS however was a bonehead move. Am I really supposed to care how she got the pick axe or the twin pistols? I mean I guess that's slightly more interesting than how this turns her from a fortune and glory treasure hunter into a generic tough movie babe with generic tough movie babe daddy issues but whatever.

We live in a universe where tits complain about tits and ignore a solid action film in the process.
What a world.
Review by 🌈 adrian ★★★★★ 8

+1 for Alicia absolutely owning the role
+1 for nods to the 2013 game
-1 for literally no other interesting characters
-2 the exposition/flashbacks killed my soul
+6 for each of Alicia Vikander’s glorious abs

Nada en contra de Alicia Vikander, pero Lara Croft tenía que ser Camila Luddington, que es la Lara Croft de la última trilogía de videojuegos que salió de Tomb Raider. Pudieron hacer algo grande, pero no lo lograron. Tiene cosas de los 2 primeros juegos de la última trilogía (Tomb Raider y The rise of Tomb Raider) que son grandes historias (al menos a mi me gustaron mucho) pero no supieron aprovecharlas. A pesar de esto no es una mala película, si la comparamos a otras que están basadas en videojuegos esta sale airosa, pero insisto, pudo ser mucho mejor.

A really cool film
Review by Jamie Malcolm ★★

🧗‍♀️ Well at least they actually raided a tomb... My goodness some of the VFX are ropey and oddly enough look like early video game cutscenes. Some of the riffs and implementations of the games tropes are handled ok, but kinda feel plonked in. Lara’s croaky yelps are extremely infuriating and used constantly for some reason. Not sure if it was because I was watching a TV version, but the editing of the tomb opening scene might be one of the most amateurish looking things I’ve seen in some time - all over the shop.
Review by drishyan ★★★½

very well made adventure movie,based on the famous video game franchise.far far better than the previous two adaptations starring angelina jolie which were mostly camp.
Review by marsel0529 ★★★½

This past weekend I have decided to watch all of the Tomb Raider films. The latest one was “Tomb Raider” (2018), which is the reboot of the “Tomb Raider” films they came out in early 2000s. This film differs from the two previous instalments in so many different ways. Once again, just like all of the other video game movies that I have seen, I always have low expectations going into them. They very rarely turn out well. If you have never read any of my reviews before, just so you know, I always try to keep my reviews spoiler free. There is so much to say so let’s get to it. As always, positives first.
One thing that is…

Review by Abbie ★★★

Tomb Raider has me divided. To someone that hasn’t played the game it’s based on, I imagine that this must seem like a pretty solid action movie. But considering I’ve played the reboot game twice, I couldn’t help but notice how lacking this film is in comparison. Tomb Raider (2018) changes an awful lot of the plot from the original game to accommodate it into a movie plot. Unfortunately those plot choice decisions are more hit than miss.
Condensing a 12 hour game down into a 2 hour movie is sure to be a struggle for any writer or director, which is what this film runs into here. Unable to go into the depth the game does, this film is…
Review by Metalfist ★★★½

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Verfilmingen van videogames, je kunt het moeilijk een succesformule noemen. Er zijn uiteraard de nodige uitzonderingen op de regel (Street Fighter met Jean-Claude Van Damme is en blijft één van mijn guilty pleasures), maar algemeen gezien resulteert het vaak in niet geweldige films. Deze nieuwe Tomb Raider leek daar echter een uitzondering op te gaan worden, ik was namelijk al overtuigd bij de "I'll take two" quote wanneer Croft haar iconische pistool vast heeft in de trailer. Plus, Alicia Vikander leek hier best wel geknipt voor te zijn.
Liefhebbers van de Tomb Raiders games weten dat er niet één Lara Croft is. De reeks is al een paar keer opnieuw begonnen, een reboot zoals dat dan heet, en deze film…

Definitely would’ve benefitted from more Nick Frost
Review by David Speegle ★★★½ 5

Getting into the mood for breezy summer blockbuster action films and Tomb Raider fits the bill nicely.
Violent, thrilling, implausible on many levels, but still fun...most of the time. When it’s just Lara Croft versus nature’s playground, the film works beautifully, including some great solo action sequences, and if there is CGI involved, it’s barely noticed. For the length that they go to keep the overall feel grounded in reality during the first half though, the film gets extremely silly towards the end.
The actual ‘tomb raiding’ part plays more like a theme park attraction with some lame escape room elements. The film lags in the middle third too, and too many dudes on this adventure. Still, Alicia Vikander saves…
Review by Linnea

Alicia Vikander is so dang cool. Also, I’m starting a petition to have Alicia Vikander record any and every audio book ever.
Oh also this gave me flashbacks of that weird Life With Derek episode about ‘Babe Raider’.
