For my own part, I thought the new Tomb Raider was a fun ride.
Alicia Vikander is perfect as Lara Croft, and if Tomb Raider does well enough to warrant sequels, there are more games on the way, I have hope that, much like with many video games, the sequel can polish up the rough bits and come out with a follow-up that surpasses the original.
It’s more than a little silly and the plot is nothing we haven’t seen before, but as a fan of the game on which the movie is based, I thought the film did a great job (more so at the beginning than later on) of capturing the way Lara is forced to push past her limits in order to overcome the obstacles in front of her.
