Review of Tomb Raider (2018) by Minimoviemaniac — 06 Feb 2019

This was a potentially great video game adaption but the pieces just didn't come together. I would say the biggest problem with the movie was the tone switching and the consistency of the movie not being as good as it could've been.

The film starts out strong but fades as it falls into the generic action movie category. The lead actress playing Croft is the perfect fit for the role and I would like to see her come back with a better writer and director for the franchise.

So, this is a usual, generic, action movie with nothing really special to make it stand out from other action movies that came out before it. But, this does show some potential for video game movies if they are handled by the right people.

But, this film just wasn't able to break through and set itself apart from other films.
