I saw it, and I really liked it. If you love the games and the new series it is really faithful to the feeling of the reboot. I thought while watching "critics probably think this segment is silly, but it is how the game would be and I love it". If I had one major criticism it is that the start didn't interest me as much and felt sluggish, and then when we get to the island and I was enjoying it the pacing felt rushed.
May be faint praise, but for me this is the best movie based off a video game and I'd give it a solid 8/10. I think the actress playing Lara was amazing in the role and made up for everyone else being okay (although I did like Nick Frost small role, because I just like him).
I really hope it gets a sequel with her reprising the role and spend more time being Tomb Raider as the action sequences were fun and I'd like to see her do more survival scenes. |
Honestly, is it even possible to NOT like Nick Frost? :P
I've not seen the film yet, trailers haven't really appealed to me, but I'm hearing more good things than bad about it, so maybe I'll watch it sometime in the future, be it at the cinema or if it gets added to Netflix or something, lol.

Mileage may vary, I liked the old Tomb Raider as a guilty pleasure and have enjoyed the series. This is "solid" meaning nothing elevates it unless you're a Tomb Raider fan like me. I think Alicia Vikander has a good career ahead of her and like her a lot in the role of reboot Lara. I selfishly want it to do well to get a sequel, but I understand if others think it is just fine as a movie.
