Tomb Raider

Tomb Raider (2018)

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


This was an interesting movie. Very different than the originals, and inconsistent as well, so it cannot be seen as a true prequel. Still, if just watched as a stand alone film with no tie to any of the other media or releases for the character thus far, it's entertaining. Not my favorite of the Tom Raider films so far, but not bad.

My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars


As with most sequels, not as good as the first. Little surprise that the shooting range on horseback is my favorite scene of the movie - I want that horse, though I'd go without the sidesaddle. For being tough as nails, Lara can't seem to help getting involved with exes in each movie and somehow once again getting her heart hurt along the way. One of the most amusing lines of the film - "oh, well now that I have Her Majesty's permission."

Not one of my all time favorites, yet I don't seem to tire of it. Jolie seems to have been tailor made for the role of Lara Croft, fitting the films and images of the Tomb Raider to a T. A catchy soundtrack, tons of action, and a serious attitude that keeps her on the top of the game make this an entertaining and exciting film from start to finish every time it plays.
