Review of Tomb Raider (2018) by Destiny S — 27 Mar 2018
The acting is a generally cringeworthy, but some are better than others. Attempts at comedy & sentimentality miss the mark more often than not. Most big set piece action sequences are really good, (the bike chase through london was done well), but the chase through the docks is a pointless waste of screentime.
Overall scene should have been allowed to play out in longer cuts rather than trying to needlessly build tension with fast editing and stupid sound effects.
The hired goons that make up the army personnel are terrible, people are smarter than that and have more soul/personality.
The Himoko story line was badly fleshed out, lara's father's obsession is bordering on insanity with little evidence as to why he is actually obsessed (fair enough your wife died, but get a grip man and move on - flashbacks are a cheap way to fill out backstory and don't work here).
