danicameron12 As a hardcore fan of the game series (I own and have played all games, dlc, various collectables, etc.) I was so excited for this reboot. The rebooted games were insanely good. So good in fact, that I have played through the games in excess of 5 or 6 times. But this movie? I regret watching it. Let me first say this: Alicia Vikander was a SOLID choice for the role. She could have been so much more if the writers hadn't completely destroyed the story. While I realize that you can't fit everything into a movie adaptation, I expect that at least the story won't be completely butchered. If you are a fan of the tomb raider series, don't waste your time on this. You will walk away angry.

Mr-Fusion Video game based movies don't have a stellar track record and "Tomb Raider" does nothing to change that. To be perfectly fair, what this movie does right is its heroine. Alicia Vikander has that steely determination and certainly looks the part.But aside from the awful soundtrack, all of the film's problems lie in the script, which switches out the solid origin story of the 2013 reboot for a "TRON: Legacy" rehash. Good characters are scrapped because of this, and such a crime is unforgivable. Almost as bad as wasting Walton Goggins. I'm all for Vikander continuing in this role, bit deserves much better writing.

millekineser I had no expectations, just thought I'd kill time with a nice action movie. Well.. It doesn't even mesure up to that. It started all right. I liked the scenes with the bike rides in London. Nice action. Something new. Nice filming. But once she leaves London to go look for her father, it is all down hill from there. So many plot holes and just boring stuff, that is insulting my intelligens: Why is the elequent guy on the boat, -who obviously went to the US and got an education and a perfect american-english accent - back on that boat? What?, he just desided to ditch the oportunities of the US and come back to the s...hole he came from, after taking an expensive education, and submerce in alcohol and filth for no reason? Yeah, right.. Oh - and they must be made of some special kind of tough, when they can survive a storm that absolutely trashes their steel boat on the cliffs, shreading it to pieces, but somehow be washed gently a shore by a tiny wave in the middle of that awfull thunderstorm, cough a bit, but without a scratch. And right after having body-river rafted on a speeding rapid, miraculesly NOT bumping knees, elbows or head on the countless sharp rocks of that river - plus be able to hold on (!!) to a bloody parashute with just her two arms, while it unfolds and saves her from getting killed going down through the trees. A parashute. In your arms. Through trees. Oh please..And it goes on and on. It is so anoying. And once you notice, you just can't stop noticing all of it. Like; why would you put a intricate lock on a gate, if you realy dont want anyone to enter or exit? Why not just seal the entrence with a wall or something? Locks are ment to open, right?And why not just kill the bad guy with that ax you throw, in stead of throwing it right next to him, then fist fight with him, then kick out the ladder from under him and then feed him the poisonous desease? Just use the ax to kill him in the first place - job done. Oh well. Good acting though.

starfish-38853 I wanted to love this movie - I enjoyed Angelina Jolie's Lara Croft and I like Ms. Vikander and Mr. Goggins very much. I knew I was in trouble when the movie opened with a boxing scene, Lara Croft vs. a male opponent. And there's a whole lot more of that throughout - if you love hand-to-hand combat, this movie's for you! The tomb raiding, when they finally get to it after a laborious setup, is pretty cool, but by then I'd checked out.
