Tomb Raider

An obligatory setup for a sequel slows down the final moments, but until then, Tomb Raider feels like a perfectly paced trio of espresso shots, with a shot of adrenaline to the heart as a chaser.

Vikander is a beautifully effective avatar for the American Ninja Warrior version of Lara Croft. Stripping down the bombast of the original games (and films) allows Uthaug’s reboot to feel comparatively grounded and immediate, without dragging itself down with unnecessary pathos.

For all of Tomb Raider’s strengths, it would still be a stretch to call it a good movie. It’s diverting, a good way to spend a couple of hours, but it’s hamstrung by something that’s unavoidable: The whole central concept — raiding tombs — is just, well, not that interesting.

Vikander, who can balance flinty charm with sympathetic humanism, helped keep me invested, but Tomb Raider could best be described as a solid step forward, away from past wrongs. I’ll take competence over silliness, but the Lara Croft brand still has a long way to go before her movies are truly memorable.

Lara’s appealing enough in humor and drive but Vikander brings deeper notes than the script and green screens require, from sorrow and fear to first-kill horror. Tomb Raider isn’t a place to expect good acting even from an Oscar winner, but Vikander persists.

Alicia Vikander worked herself into hardbody shape for Tomb Raider, which by contrast is a flabby, lazy mess.

Ms. Vikander has leapt into the void of a franchise reboot, based on a video-game reboot, that generates no joy, makes negligible sense, and seals its own tomb with a climax of perfect absurdity.

I am reviewing this movie right before trying to finish the 3rd installment of the game series of Tomb Raider, and although we all well know Angelina Jolie as the movie character for Lara Croft, the Oscar award winning Northern European actress Alicia Vikander does a pretty good job in depicting Lara in his forming experience, as she becomes the Tomb Raider. I first saw the movie in cinema when it was released, and now, on a second view, on DVD, I have the same feeling as I'm watching a nice-to-see action movie. The movie respects the game story and universe, especially the Tomb Raider game released in 2013, from which the plot story is inspired. It remains to see if a sequel comes at the same scale.

Tomb Raider is a fun movie with a mostly predictable story and terrible dialogue writing. On the one hand the characters have a fairly good arc in the movie, which makes it enjoyable to watch. On the other hand the dialogues are terrible. Neither dynamic, nor creative. The stroy is fairly predictable with one smaller twist, which was surprising and refreshing to see. The cinematography, editing, directing was seemless. Nothing extraordinary or terrible. The acting performances were okay. The action performances were pretty good though. The visual effects were mostly good, except for a few scenes where it was terrible. Tomb Raider is fun action movie with terrible dialogues.

Still refusing to accept her father’s death nearly a decade after his disappearance, Lara Croft gains access to a secret chamber in her father's tomb. A discovery inside sends her to a mysterious island that may explain what happened to her father. Based loosely on the rebooted video game series from 2013, Tomb Raider doesn’t do anything particularly new or interesting but the lead performance from Alica Vikander and some decent action sequences make it watchable enough.

Questo film non ha nulla a che spartire con Tomb Raider se non il titolo. Del videogioco ha nulla, la protagonista non e' adatta al ruolo di Lara croft e il film e' ben distante dalle atmosfere del videogioco. Fa tristezza vedere come nel 2018 i videogiocatori siano considerati degli imbecilli che dandogli il contentino pagano e tacciono. Il tutto non e' altro che un anonimo e piatto film di azione con un anonima starlet del momento, che probabilmente al botteghino sarebbe scomparso dopo 2 settimane di programmazione, per risolvere la cosa gli hanno dato il nome TOMB RAIDER cosi' almeno sono durati TRE settimane :D :D Vergognoso!

Boring derivative action movie, nothing special here girlies give it a miss. Why on Earth is Lara Amelia Croft delivering curries at the beginning when she is supposed to be rich. I don't want a poor Lara and neither should you. Absolutely no likable characters in the entire movie. Ridiculous plot that only really involves one mediocre tomb. I'm still upset we were robbed of an even worse sequel though heres to hoping ladies!
