Tomb Raider (2018)
People need to do their research....
I thought it was a decent film. I dont know what peoples expectations were!! The story is based on the latest, newer versions of the game franchise where Lara is younger and doesnt have all of her abilities or experience yet. Shes not even interested in any of it. It is the beginning of Lara Croft and needs a background story like any origin story. The new franchise focuses on her inabilities and the fact that shes not perfect and has to learn to survive. Which she does in this film.
The original game starts as an older Lara Croft as does the Angelina Jolie films. She is well into her 'Tomb Raiding' skills and has picked up many friends and enemies along the way.
I dont understand why people are moaning that its 'not like the original'. 'She doesnt have all her abilities yet' 'Shes skinny and less charismatic' Again this is an Origins Story read between the lines people n dont give it a bad review because you cant understand that!
As an avid fan of the gaming franchise i both like the older slightly unrealistic deeply puzzling games and the new, grittier younger versions. Give it a chance and hopefully a sequel will have more puzzles n tomb raiding. I do know there is only so much you can put into 2hrs though, shame
