Review of Tomb Raider (2018) by Creeper3455 — 18 Mar 2018

There's always a quote behind these videogame movies:"This is what you want,this is what you get.".

This is the kind of thing that also tends to happen in here,and maybe a bit worse than I thought. That's not to say that it wasn't bad,but it's also not a good movie.

Yes,Tomb Raider is one of those...

Let's get the positives out of the way so I'll make room for the cons.

Alicia Vikander steals this movie big time,she tries to be a good lead character,and I admire that. The action (just like Justice League) is probably the only thing you'll remember with its excellent set pieces.

As for the cons....Yeah,there are a ton of those...

You know that I love movie soundtracks,but Junkie XL's score felt like a way to annoy people during the action and the calm moments. (maybe he wanted to finish Justice League,RIGHT WARNER?).

Sometimes,the story can feel a little Indiana Jones-y,aand I admire directors (Independent or not) that love stuff like this,but when you love that stuff,you don't need to make a 1000 references during the scenes. And yes,i'm one of those guys that thinks the first 20 Mins could've easily been cut from this movie. To be honest,I had little expectations for this movie,but overall,it was what I expected,and suprisingly,as a 2 Hour movie,it feels like a quick seat with its execution,but in the end,Tomb Raider is another one of those Videogame Movies,and again,that doesn't mean it's completely bad. It's the right kind of Videogame Movie where you can have a Friday Night with your friends,but not in a theater. Still,i'm not stopping you on paying those 10 Dollars for curiosity.

In two words: Strongly mediocre.
