Probably the best attempt at translating the Tomb Raider franchise to the big screen. The plot seems to borrow heavily from the game that rebooted the franchise, but unfortunately inherits some of the problems of the reboot. The film spends a long time and the start depicting a Lara attempting to escape her father's wealth and responsibilities and live a relatively normal life, but once getting shipwrecked on the Japanese island she quickly escalates to being generally fine with murdering bad guys, with little pause for actual character development. I feel this is generally a problem with how the franchise reboot depicts Lara. Vikander performs competently as Lara, and is probably a good match for this Lara's arc, but I'd have preferred Square Enix had stuck with the Legends arc for the games and this movie. The chief villain in this film is also remarkably one-dimensional and gets very little character development. Set and trap design is fairly good, but still no Last Crusade. All-in-all, the film is competent and an enjoyable action flick. But the beginning of the film drags, the plot is merely okay. I can't say there's much here to excite fans of the game series.

Not the best or well passed and focused start and not enough character
development but still has a good story and even though the story telling
could have been much better it is ok. It did much better than other
franchises trying to make a movie out of a game. Still it is based on a
game and that's where they made their critical mistake that caused the rest
of the mistakes. Apart from those mistakes it has good visuals and a couple
cool scenes. The most disappointing thing about the movie is focusing on
Lara's city life and bringing in too many characters with basic story
lines. If I was the. Director I would not make the Villan so basic and
actually give him more story, more depth and more human as he is just a
tipical bad guy with basic desires and he doesn't stand out at all. It is
worth a rent if u have some cash to blow and some time to spare. It will
not be a adventure but will keep u entertained. Also watch out for the
crazy horrible camera work at the start and on the starting fight scenes
(their confusing).

Average at best but definitely betta than any Tomb Raider that has come before it. Corny action and acting and your typical over the top action flick where an unskilled lead takes out multiple mercs with a bow and defys countless life ending situations to lead to an unresolved ending that suggests a sequel at some point....I guess it's worth a watch if you like the Tomb Raider saga but if not, I'd skip it
