After all these years, Hollywood bringing to life so many game adaptations, but almost all of these movies failed miserably. And now, in 2018, the director, Roar Uthaug and Alicia Vikander made THE best game adaptation. Of course, the movie plot is still simple and predictable BUT, don't forget the fact: The Tomb Raider games was never more than that! This movie is FUN, packed with good action, the visuals are great also the music. Most importantly, Alicia Vikander is Lara Croft! I follow her carrier from the beginning, so I knew she's an amazing actress, but still, her performance is blow me away!
In this movie, the villain is not just some random dude, who want's to rule the world. He has some good and solid opinions why he do what he do. Walton Goggins performance is top notch as always. The one thing I missed is he's relationship with he's family. I think with some more backstory he could be more relatable character.
The father-daughter relationship was well written, but they used that flashback scene too much, I think. I don't wanna tell more because that will be a spoiler but if you curious, Dominic West was great and he's character had some good development.
And the last thing I've missed is, more Daniel Wu scenes with more character development. I hope, when they make a sequel, they will bring him back some more action.
Lastly, if you wanna see some copy paste game adaptation, or just want to see boobs, this is not your movie. BUT, if you like fun and thrilling movies with good drama, than, go and watch Tomb Raider!
BEST game adaptation EVER!
