Review of Tomb Raider (2018) by Imthenoob — 22 May 2018

My biggest issues would be the film's length and the pacing. This should not have been a 2-hour film, It should have been an hour and 40 minutes at best. The introduction, which took about 40 minutes for her to get on the island and to really start the adventure, was just utter nonsense. There was no real story set up, Just a bunch of poorly written and acted scenes that did nothing to even get you remotely interested in the events to come. And it didn't help that the plot is so freaking generic, You can pretty much predict it from start to finish.

Another big issue for me would have to be the heavy reliance on CG. It's painfully obvious that pretty much every action scene is CG and that's such a huge disappointment to me. It doesn't just look painfully obvious but it looks fake and cheesy. I wish they had done a better job with it, Maybe make for a bit more realistic movie rather than a bunch of weak "action" scenes made from CG that stick out like sore thumbs.

Overall, This isn't even worthy of a rental because there isn't a single redeemable thing about this film. Sorry to put it so bluntly but they need to stop bringing back this franchise, It's never going to be good.
