Review of Tomb Raider (2018) by Anne W — 03 Aug 2018
I went into this movie expecting it to be better than it was. I knew that the critics had rated it badly, but I chose to ignore that. As a fan of the Hunger Games, I expected it to be something along those lines; some fairly exciting action with a strong young female lead. However, I was unfortunately quite disappointed.
This movie just relies too much on the over-the-top action (how many times can a character hang from one arm over some treacherous precipice?) without having any fantastic plot to back it up. It takes too long to get the point... And when it does it is still disappointing.
On the plus side, it is not AWFUL. It can be fairly exciting in some places, and also Alicia Vikander is very talented. However, I cannot say that I would watch this again.
