Review of Tomb Raider (2018) by Jd S — 20 Mar 2018

I had high hopes that this reboot might have found their way through the video game to movie trap but that was wishful thinking. For a film that obviously had a good budget, the directing and story-line choices were abysmal at times.

Worse though was the completely misguided casting of Lara Croft. Not once did I connect with Alicia Vikander which is too bad because she normally is a likable actor. It was an uninspiring performance of a character who is supposed to be extremely charismatic and a modern day Indiana Jones.

Note to filmmakers, don't assume your audience are idiots.
