Tomb Raider

The fragile character actress Alicia Vikander, whom I originally found unsuitable for the role (I wanted to see some of those well-endowed, fast-and-furious girls), makes Tomb Raider infinitely more likable and relatable. Thanks to her, the film breathes. And the first two-thirds are even intelligent, skillfully working with the interactions of the characters and their setting in an attractive environment. Before entering the final cave, however, all of the intellect somehow evaporates and the movie resorts to cheap twists, which made me drop the rating down to three stars. I also see untapped potential in the fact that the screenplay did not bring anything new into the genre, let alone its conventions. On the contrary, it stole one of the movie’s main attractive elements from The Lost World. (06/04/2018)

Awesome shit! Oscar-winning actress Alicia Vikander is naturally gorgeous, young, battle-hardened and even though her breasts aren't like Angelina's, it doesn't matter her acting is far more impressive. The film has a very nice pacing, Lara is nice to look at and gets an incredible set of lines throughout the film that by the end I left the cinema more broken than she was. The first half is highlighted by a bike chase that is more intense than any other car chase, and an impressive shipwreck that takes your breath away with its suspense. Once Lara finds herself on the island, it's an adventure romp that takes the best of Indiana Jones while sticking beautifully to the game's template, plus a sleazy Walton Goggins playing the villain and good-guy Daniel Wu, whom I'm a little sorry he didn't showcase any martial arts. The finale will make you think of The Mummy , so those who love tombs, black magic, traps, puzzles will enjoy this film to the fullest. Well I'm thoroughly entertained, I got a nice adventure mix that hasn't been in cinemas for years and trogether with Warcraft, Lara is definitely the best game. I want the sequel as soon as possible, so feel free to go out and contribute! After a second viewing, the enthusiasm has waned slightly, but still a fine affair. 80% (21/03/2018)

Lara Croft in Uncharted Territory or the last crusade to go after the mummy Björk. It succeeded. The mix of gaming aesthetics and realism is still quite unbalanced, but Uthaug is able to very pleasantly balance a digital ballast and the physical conception of the action. What’s more, Vikander is great, cheeky, rebellious and doesn’t meet the expectations of those who like to masturbate to cleavage. I had a great time and I hope this party will continue! Definitely one of the best video game adaptations. (25/06/2018)

Nice civil adventure with a pragmatic negative character “I don't want to rule the world, I just want to go home and I'll do everything for it". The movie is really well put for a dull blockbuster and “the artefact is not too supernatural." In addition, Alicia Vikander, whose physical performance (the less endowed, the more grunting and sighing) is an excellent match for Lara. However, it is spoiled by poorly selected songs, forced unnecessary story line tailored to the people of Chine / Chinese market and especially the middle part in the jungle, which is closest to the video game original, but in a movie where otherwise stuntmen and compelling action are highlighted you will suddenly watch a CGI escapade for twenty minutes. Unbelievable. Fortunately, we don´t see much of that anymore in the final CTRL + C / CTRL + V of the Indo-Indonesian last third. (01/06/2018)

I still sometimes reminisce about the original Tomb Raider starring Angelina Jolie. I remember the times when I played Tomb Raider on my good old Pentium graphics card and the times when I started to go to the movies on my own. That is because the first movie my parents have entrusted me to see was Tomb Raider. Alicia Vikander, unlike Angie, is no Lara Croft. She came close to the restarted series, but even though she’s smoking hot, it’s just not the same. The story and the action scenes were good, but the entire time, I thought that something was missing. Something that stops me from saying that this is a great adventure movie. The movies with Angie were simply better, more fun, even though at the same time, they were sillier and quirkier. (05/04/2018)
