By no means as bad as the Jolie films, this opts for a slightly different tack and tries to treat the material in a deadly serious way. Vikander makes for a great Croft and, like the recently rebooted games, they have tried to ground the character and make her much more relatable than the previous films. That being said, by opting to change the tone completely, it makes for an increasing ridiculous film which is hard to take seriously as the plot develops. It doesn't help that the finale seems almost to have been ripped from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. A more balanced approach and lighter touch throughout might have helped enormously and whilst Goggins tries to ham it up a little as the chief villain, the film hasn't done enough to make its audience invest in the characters.
