miss alicia vikander please raid my tomb im begging you

Alicia Vikander vs the army of men with awful facial hair.

Tomb: Raided
Alicia Vikander: Ripped
I'm: Gay

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!!!!!!!

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.

Captures the feel of the videogame perhaps a little too well. Not a bad movie but it misses some of what was cool about the videogame's story.

Alicia Vikander is very attractive.

im bisexual.

I enjoyed the tomb raiding very much.

Jokes aside, I really liked that they chose the characterization for Lara from the 2013 reboot of the game. It was nice seeing all the visual references from the game. Looking forward to a sequel.

Walking out of the theatre my initial thought was, which would be worst to sit through- Cradle of Life or this? But that’s really not fair. The Tomb Raider games and Lara Croft have changed significantly and the question for me is which do I prefer: a Lara Croft who’s almost too adept at survival and a world where temples really come alive, or a Lara Croft who's gritty, uncomfortable with affluence, and temples rooted in reality.

I’m a fan of the former (so the last act was a huge letdown) and have little interest in the new Tomb Raider games aside from leisurely watching a playthrough on Twitch.tv. That said, this is a competent action/adventure film. Nothing remarkable, but good enough for a video game adaptation.

I like this Vikander chick. She was cool. I liked her alcoholic, captain of a decrepit ship friend too.

ALICIA'S ABS OWNS MY SOUL SHE DESERVES AN OSCAR SOLELY FOR HER ABS, ARMS AND BACK MUSCLES THANK YOU LESBIAN

I have not watched the Angie ones.

This reboot is strangely bland, outrageously derivative, and yet has adorable hi-jinx in the jungle. A.K.A. Survivor Himiko Island.

Good action editing by old-hand Stuart Baird (credits include the Omen).

Worst line NOT in this movie: "Use your ice axe!"

PS. I liked the corroding aircraft sequence and the Bondish end credits.

PPS. I would def sign anything Kristin Scott Thomas asked me to.

Reason to watch this movie: Alicia

Predictable and so eager to start a franchise it forgets to be a solid movie, but this Lara can raid my tomb anytime.

If they had cut out the weird orientalist mythical stuff from the game, this would maybe have been a sleeper hit of the year for me. Alicia Vikander fucking kills it as the Tomb Raider, a movie at least nominally about the video game character but mostly about Vikander being dope doing stuff. There are several great set-pieces: a bike chase, an escape in a river, and a struggle to complete a puzzle in a room where the floor is falling through.

When Vikander gets her first kill she actually pauses and shows emotion, an simple character moment that 95% of macho action movies wouldn't deign to slow down and flesh out.

Just cut out that damn death queen or whatever...
