This fell short of the game and the movie series. This reboot, although somewhat entertaining, was crippled by the main characters inability to act. This felt like Temple of Doom more than as Tomb Raider. You can skip it, if they are smart, they will find a better cast for the next one.
BETTER than the film Black Panther (which was also a really good movie)
It was ok but I feel like the plot has been done. (Not just talking about the game either).
Good
Excellent! Cast and crew are very effective, and the verisimilitude of the story is entrancing. Dislikes draw to the unbiological speed of the 'infection symptoms', and a few too many boulders rolling down mountains on a small island off of Japan. But the producers produced a winner here.
Alicia is great as Lara Croft! For fans of the series, and even video games in general, Tomb Raider, led by the the energetic if slightly mopey Lara Croft (Alicia Vikander), borrows heavily from the rebooted video games by Square Enix, focusing on a young, pre-archaeologist relic hunter who is a little cocksure about her life, unsure of the future, but determined to meet it straight on.Instead of focusing on the professional skills of a master fighter and acrobat, as did the original Angelina Jolie-led Tomb Raider duology, the movie spends quite some time establishing Lara's obvious flaws. Her diminutive size means she is no good in a straight-up brawl, while she openly makes mistakes that can cost her her life.
I liked this Lara Croft much better than the one in the last tomb raider movie that I saw about 20 years ago (?). Alicia Vikander is physically fit so we audience are convinced that she is a real Lara Croft not like Angelina Jolie who was a joke.
In spite of a rather slow going movie, the main character-the leading lady actor, Alicia- manages to keep my interest there. Wish there is a bit more story and more twists and turns. Nevertheless, it is a good movie.
Strong and well driven. I think this edition of the films stuck very close to the imagery and themes set in the 2013 game reboot. Alicia plays Lara Croft in a way that brings ingenuity and skill to the role like we have not seen before. I think that a lot of people who don't play games are confused with the storyline, not understanding that this is a prequel to the Angelina role and version of the character. I think that the storyline does have a "falling off" point to where the film takes liberties to cut time and also combine the plot of two games (shadow of the tomb raider) and (tomb raider) in to one film. The first 45 minutes though felt like a play by play of the 2013 reboot, and despite its "falling off" point - the film is solid and I hope that they follow it up with a sequel.
COOL #LARA CROFT
Watched online twice with 65 inch TV...Terrific movie...
Xcellent flick...
I have seen it 5 times and will be seeing it again and AWESOME
AWESOME #TOMB RAIDER
I could not been much more disappointed than that. What an awful movie. And a huge waste of talent in the main actress. So utterly disappointing.
It was strongly influenced by the most 2 recent tomb raider video game and it’s definitly a average action move with great cgi. But, as a TOMB RAIDER movie it’s pretty good and enjoyable to watch. Alicia Vikander has a great portrayal of Lara Croft
Not deeply moving, but I'm satisfied with my purchase of a ticket and and concessions.
Wow
Fast paced movie with lots of action and the special effects blow the first one away........
Average movie. Definitely not as good as when Angelina Jolie had the role (which surprised me, because I’m not a Jolie fan). Good action, but she didn’t play the role as strong and bad-ass as Jolie. Overall, it’s entertaining and not bad overall

Lots of action
Non stop action!
So good...no sex no bad language and not over the top violence...just lots of action from start to finish...go and see it on the big screen!!!
Best action movie in a looooong time
Not enough action. Waste of 3D. Too boring, too much does time. Not believable. Actress was good though but she was put into a boring movie.
It lives up to ALL the previous Tomb Raiders thrills. Alicia Vikander has a great future in Movies.
It lacked the action and thrill of the previous Tomb Raider. It was average.
Sexy
This movie held my interest from start to finish. Alicia Vikander did an outstanding job. I like the real person factor the writer gave to Alicia's role and she played it well!
I liked the action in this movie and found Alicia a credible selection to play this part.
Fantastic, awesome, thrilling! A must see!
Great movie...Hollywood right..?Nothing like Angelina...that's a good thing
I was good with this version of Lara Croft. The movie had some issues and the 3D shakes had me nauseous at times but it was a fun roller coaster ride. Don't listen to the comments about a potential love interest - there was none. Like most heroes she is all but indestructible but I can live with that. Acting was decent, story was ok, effects were a little shallow and we've seen the traps and tricks in many other movies. The major plot hole was when both of their fathers went missing when they took the boat to the island... how did the same boat get back for them to use ??. Ok - don't think to much and enjoy the ride.
Great action adventure. fantasy movie
I wouldn't recommend anyone. There are actions but not enough stories.
Not bad... not bad at all. I was... entertained. If you go in realizing this is a Lora Croft still really just a kid trying to find herself and it's a prequel to the Jolie film then a lot of the criticism falls away. She's young and untrained and sort of just trying to survive rather than raiding a tomb with any intent. (That comes later in the Jolie films) My primary complaint was the camera work. The shaky close up actions sequence made it almost impossible to follow, especially with 3D glasses on.And a bit of a head shake when she goes into battle with a bow and arrow rather than the guns left behind on the goon she dispatches. But - it was entertaining, worth the price of admission and a good date flick.
Seemed formulaic. Attractive, physically-fit star in predictable set-piece situations.
Greater than Jolie
She is not even close to angelina jolly. She did not suit in this character
