Review of Tomb Raider (2018) by Htgamer — 08 Apr 2018

Tomb Raider is a missed opportunity.

Tomb Raider is heavily inspired by the awesome 2013 Tomb Raider game, and I prefer this newer version of a more down-to-earth Lara Croft, instead of the classic oversexualised persona of the old games.

The movie's plot follows loosely that of the 2013 game, but it offers some surprises, both good and bad. The story is a slight disappointment, but the action is great and in line with the 2013 game. I disliked the videogamey puzzles in the end because they don't make any sense at all in a movie format.

Tomb Raider 2018 is a bit of a let down, as this movie could have been so much better. Still, I'd like to see a proper sequel done right.
