Review of Tomb Raider (2018) by Nicholas G — 28 Mar 2018

The bar was low when I went to see this and while it certainly wasn't a masterpiece, I did find the movie to be relatively watchable and not as disastrous as reviews had made out. Obviously, the first rule of thumb with all movies of this type, is to suspend disbelief and once you do that you get a solid action movie.

Alicia Vikander was surprisingly good in the role and supported well by the other actors, the action pieces were good and the dialogue while not highly original stuff, was not overly cheesy either. The plot was the real let down for the movie, it just wasn't strong enough.

With a better plot, this could have been a better film.
